    The trailer for the new Marvel movie Black Widow has been released and it looks pretty good. Black Widow was filmed in Georgia and a short distance from Atlanta in Pinewood Studios in Fayette County.

    While Marvel has let on for a few years now that a Black Widow movie was in the works, production hit high gear in mid-2019. Post-production was finally finished this fall.

    Black Widow’s production codes have been various throughout the year, including “figaro,” “walk” and “Blue Bayou.”

    Here are some facts to know about the Marvel film, which is sure to be a blockbuster.

    Where Was Black Widow Filmed?

    Black Widow was largely filmed in Europe, with the U.K. being a main location as well as Hungary and Norway.

    Pinewood Studios in Fayetteville was the scene of some additional filming as well.

    When Is Black Widow Coming Out?

    The release date for Black Widow is May 1, 2020.

    What Actors Have Roles In Black Widow?

    Scarlett Johannson plays the lead, which is based on her Avenger scharacter Natasha Romanoff.

    The movie also stars  Rachel Weisz and Florence Pugh in featured roles.

    Black Widow is the first Marvel film with a  female director (Cate Shortland).  The studio hopes the girl power will help propel the film to box office success.

    Here Is The Black Widow Trailer

    Atlanta has become a movie mecca in recent years and Georgia has been a favorite location for TV productions since the state instituted generous tax breaks for film companies that agree to shoot locally. Projects from CBS, NBC, HBO, BET and more are slated to shoot in the metro area in 2018-19 and the foreseeable future.

    The food throughout Louisiana is some of the best in the nation: It’s delicious, flavorful and comes with a good bit of history. One of the best areas that showcase top Louisiana cuisine is Lafourche Parish.

    Louisiana is shaped like a boot — and in those terms, Lafourche would be considered one of the toes. But when it comes to great food, the parish may be head and shoulders in the state.

    Here Are The Best Restaurants In Lafourche Parish, Louisiana

    One of the reasons why is because of the notable places to eat located there in the bayou. Here are some of the best restaurants in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana.

    FreeMarket Art Gallery Opens In Downtown Atlanta

    The evening of Friday, Nov. 8 was a historic night in downtown Atlanta. That’s the night the FreeMarket Art Gallery opened and was christened by artists and observers.

    FreeMarket Art Gallery’s inaugural exhibition titled “In This Moment” made its debut. The art show, which focuses on exploring the possibilities of life, features works from artists such as Bernadine Mortimer, Phil Harris, Cam Schott, Angie Jerez and Elliot Liss.

    FreeMarket Arts Gallery Makes Heroic Debut In Downtown Atlanta

    The contemporary art gallery is located on Pryor Road right in the middle of Underground Atlanta, which makes it part of the area’s re-emergence.

    As the crowed swelled, AtlantaFi.com got to talk to Parsa Behnamiri and Matt Daniels, the proprietors of the art gallery. 

    Matt says downtown Atlanta was a deliberate choice for FreeMarket because of its cultural significance.

    “South downtown Atlanta is historic,” he said. “There’s a lot of culture down here and it’s in a place that needs to be re-activated and working with WRS (the developer) has been a great opportunity for us to be a part of that movement and the re-establishment of south downtown and Underground.”

    FreeMarket will be a warm and inclusive space for artists to gather and show off their creations, Parsa said.

    “Our vision for FreeMarket is that it’s a space that welcomes people of all stripes in an environment where people can love and appreciate art,” Parsa added.

    “We’ve been very fortunate in working with WRS (the developer) and Undeground Atlanta in finding this wonderful space right here on Pryor Road,” Parsa said.

    FreeMarket also has plans to eventually become a regional and national space for contemporary art events and exhibition hub for creators.

    “I can tell you that the future looks like a lot more than just exhibition openings,” Parsa says. “We’re going to be trying to create an art scene and an art culture for all Atlantans.”

    Where Is FreeMarket Art Gallery Located?

    The FreeMarket art space is located at 86 Pryor St. SW Atlanta, Ga. 30303. Here is a map to help you find it.
