There will be a movie theater operated by Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas in the Rouzan Development in Baton Rouge, Lousiana, according to an article published recently by The Acadiana Advocate:

The controversial Rouzan mixed-use development off Perkins Road is getting the first Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Louisiana, a theater chain that serves food, craft beers, cocktails and wine.

The theater is expected to begin construction next year and open in mid-2016. It will have seven screens and about 900 seats.

The Alamo Drafthouse will anchor Village Center, the commercial and retail center of the Rouzan development. The first phase will include the theater, other retailers, a 200-unit apartment complex and a parking garage.
