Several film productions are filming across Louisville as Kentucky promotes Hollywood projects

Film crews are setting up production scenes across Louisville and surrounding areas as multiple movie projects film locally, with the state’s efforts to attract Hollywood productions cited as a factor, according to a report from WLKY on Nov. 11, 2026.

The WLKY report described locations being transformed into movie sets, including filming tied to titles underway in the area, such as LaGrange, The Long Run, and Catnap. The report also said the productions feature recognizable names from Hollywood, though it did not specify individuals in its summary.

WLKY said the productions are being filmed in different places across the Louisville region, with crews working in areas that residents may see active with equipment, temporary set construction, and production vehicles. The report characterized the filming as a multi-project effort rather than a single isolated shoot.

The report tied the activity to Kentucky incentives designed to draw film and television projects to the state. While the summary did not outline the program’s specific structure, it placed the funding-and-attraction effort at the center of why multiple productions are choosing Kentucky locations for their shoots.

As productions operate, filming activity can affect day-to-day logistics for nearby residents and businesses, including traffic patterns and the timing of public spaces used for scenes, WLKY indicated. Such projects typically require coordination with local rules governing location use, public safety planning, and the handling of production equipment in shared areas.

WLKY’s report also suggested that the current wave of filming is part of a broader pattern of Kentucky positioning itself as a location for major entertainment projects, with the economic and community effects depending on how productions schedule work and how local governments and operators manage operational needs.

The next steps for residents and local businesses will depend on where each production is shooting and what restrictions are issued for the specific locations and dates, according to the general framework described by WLKY’s account of crews moving through Louisville-area sites. Updates are likely to be posted through local coordination channels as filming windows change.
