Tour offers glimpse of films made in city

NEW ORLEANS

Sitting near the New Orleans streetcar line aboard a van equipped with video screens and a speaker system, tourists watch actress Vivien Leigh ride the city’s vintage electric rail vehicles in a scene from the 1951 film “A Streetcar Named Desire.”

In the French Quarter, passengers look on as Bruce Willis escapes attackers outside a praline shop in the 2010 film “Red.”

They also watch a young Kirsten Dunst bite into a woman’s neck in Jackson Square in one of her early roles as a bloodthirsty child vampire in 1994’s “Interview With a Vampire.”

A new multimedia tour being offered in New Orleans takes passengers to locations where famous movie scenes were filmed and shows them a clip from the film on site. The tour also includes peeks at the New Orleans homes of actors Brad Pitt, Sandra Bullock and John Goodman.

“It really is a different way to see the city,” said Debbie Carroll, a self-proclaimed movie buff from Springfield, Mo., who took the tour earlier this month. “I love movies, so I was excited to take this tour, but I also like that I got to see parts of the city I had never seen before.”

Besides the tourist-heavy French Quarter, New Orleans Movie Tours includes stops in lesser-known neighborhoods such as Treme and the Faubourg Marigny. Clips from those neighborhoods include an action-packed fight sequence with Jean-Claude Van Damme in 1993’s “Hard Target” and scenes from 2004’s “Ray” about the life of singer Ray Charles.
