EVP of WWE Studios Comments on "Inside Out" and Triple H

Mike Pavone, executive vice president of WWE Studios, is serving as producer on the film. Pavone said New Orleans provided a great place to shoot the company’s slate of six films.

“New Orleans has always offered terrific incentives,” he said. “It’s a great city that embraces film making. They want us to be here and that makes it very comfortable for us.”

Pavone said New Orleans can also provide a number of different looks. Film crews have already made the city look like Oklahoma and California. Pavone said “Inside Out” is a New Orleans-based movie so “we can see the city and show it off.”

“Algiers, a nice residential area right outside of New Orleans, also afforded us a great look,” he said. “We don’t build a lot of interiors on stage because our budgets don’t afford it. We have to use a lot of practical locations.”

Pavone said Triple H plays a character that is “fairly intense.”

“He’s a terrific actor and has been a joy to work with,” he said. “I like working with athletes a lot because their training and mentality is different. The WWE superstars are really dedicated and show up on time, ready to go.”
