Veteran actors Willem Dafoe and Matt Dillon were spotted recently shooting scenes on Horace Street off Perkins Road near the Garden District for the Cole Hauser-directed crime drama Whiskey Bay. The production, which our source says is based on a true police story from the 1980s, is filming at Angola as well, but will continue shooting in the Baton Rouge area for the rest of the month. This is Hauser’s first feature film as a director. The actor is better known for character roles in Good Will Hunting, ER and The Break-Up.

Fans of dubstep were surprised to see one of its pioneers, Bassnectar, booked a show in Baton Rouge Sept. 29 at a venue most hadn’t heard of—Sugarcane Village. It’s listed at 14200 River Road, just up from the new L’Auberge Casino. From the road, it looks more sugarcane than village, leaving fans wondering if this would be an impromptu outdoor concert.
