I just got a notice in the mail today saying they will be filming scenes for the television series "Eureka, Season 2" in our area. Road Closures!! They also close off part of the walking trails.
Its fun watching the set up, film and take down process. The film crews told us once we could stay and watch the filming but we had our 2 youngsters with us. Damn! That would have been neat. Maybe I will try again for this shoot.
Funny how this topic pops up and then this! Eerie..........
I've visited a lot of popular movie locations in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco. "The Sentinel" filmed extensively in DC and Maryland including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge which I cross every summer on the way to the beach. In San Francisco, I spent only 2 hours in the city but saw Alcatraz and the hotel from The Rock where Sean Connery throws the guy off the balcony As well as the Golden Gate Bridge (closing scene from View to a Kill was amazing.) A lot of films are also made in Baltimore which is close to me. I've actually never been to Los Angeles besides LAX.
But my favorite filming locations are the following:
1. College Park, MD They filmed National Treasure 2 on my campus and casted some students as extras in a background and Nicholas Cage was on campus.
2. Las Vegas. Both the Strip and downtown Las Vegas. Been to the city twice and loved it both the tourist parts and the normal parts. The night scenes are always breathtaking in any movie and Vegas is just a wonderful town.
3. Miami/Florida Keys....great natural beauty, very fun atmosphere, beautiful city, nighttime, palm trees, tropical plants, lovely beaches.
Never been to these but....
4. Moscow, Russia - always gives out a feel of mystery and intrigue mixed with danger...effective for any suspense movie Cold War era or modern day (Bourne Supremacy for example, The Saint, countless others)
5. Morocco - same reasons as #3...especially since Morocoo always stands in for mysterious, adventurous places....has been a stand in for Beirut, Baghdad, Tehran, Mogadishu, and Yemen
6. Mexico - same as #3 and #4....this time drug cartels, CIA, etc etc etc....especially the border towns' lawless atmosphere creates some great settings (though I reallyl wish they would make movies in Cancun with those excellent beaches)
Roslyn, Washington standing in as Cicely Alaska for my favourite tv series of all time "Northern Exposure"
Christ Church College, Oxford, for Hogwarts in HP movies
Glen Coe and Rannoch moor in "Rob Roy"
skoe is super lucky to live in Vancouver, the "other" Hollywood. My dad worked on the set of the first Look Who's Talking in Vancouver and he loved it.
The best movie locale I have been to would have to be Salzburg Austria (Sound of Music) there are such breathtaking views and contrast of scenery that you could ever imagine. They still do a bicycle tour there so you can go exactly where they did (Julie Andrews and the kids). The local castles are captivating, as are the salt mine tours. This movie is still a fave for me and now my son as well. Some movies are just timeless.
Around my home state of Texas. Lots of great movies filmed there.
1. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (the original)
2. Dazed And Confused (in Austin)
3. The Sugarland Express
4. Fandango (an old Kevin Costner movie, his movie debut)
5. Reality Bites (in Houston)
6. Wooden Watermelons (in Beaumont, my hometown!)
Movies that are shot in New Zealand like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Bridge to Terabithia and the Last Samurai are always so beautiful.
Orlando always seems to draw silly movies to shoot here like Ernest Saves Christmas, Waterboy (shot at my college Stetson while I was going to school there), Duece Bigalow, Problem Child 2 and most recently, Larry the Cable Guy:Health Inspector. Go Orlando! We are so proud
