Where is Magnificent Seven filmed?

The Magnificent Seven has been shot at various parts of Louisiana in the United States. The primary shoot took place at the north Baton Rouge in Louisiana and took 64 days from May 18 to August 18, 2015, to be completed. Some of the other locations include St. Francisville; Zachary, Louisiana; Jackson, Louisiana; Ridgway, Colorado, and New Mexico.

The sequence where the climactic battle between the Seven and Bogue’s small army take place took three weeks to be shot since the weather was often unpleasantly cold or wet. The cast and crew had to wait for the storms to end. On certain occasions when the storms got worse, the on-set shelters would be affected, and the team had to leave the sets.
