This past weekend, premiere events were held in Jackson and Natchez for "Get On Up," the James Brown biopic starring Chadwick Boseman, which was also shot in Mississippi. The director of the film, Tate Taylor, is a Mississippi native known for "The Help," which was also filmed in Mississippi.Video: 'The Hollars' films in CantonAt Sunday's "Get On Up" premiere, Gov. Phil Bryant said the state has three movies in production and two other film companies are looking to get underway here.The state's movie-making incentives program has helped increase the ante in the game of luring multimillion dollar film projects."It's changed a lot. It has made us more competitive with states like Louisiana and Georgia that are getting a lot of film development there. Mississippi is really getting its name on the map," said Brian Hilburn, the location manager for "The Hollars".Canton has gotten a lot of movie-making attention in the past, in part, because that city goes out to recruit. There is also a 36,000 square-foot soundstage in Canton that was built when "A Time to Kill" was being filmed there in the mid-1990s.
