Parts of the 2008 movie 'The Incredible Hulk' were filmed in Belleville, Ontario (my place of birth) and at the famous airbase in neighbouring city Trenton, Ontario

That was a BIG deal at the time because not much really ever comes around here.  Avril Lavigne has pretty much written this area off because she's only been back once to perform since she's made it big

The new movie, Adventureland was recently filmed at Kennywood Park, near Pittsburgh, Pa.

Here's a list of a few in the Tampa Bay area:

"Cocoon," is the most popular movie made in Tampa Bay, according to Tampa Bay Business Journal readers.

There's also "Summer Rental" with John Candy, "Ocean's Eleven" with George Clooney and even "Lethal Weapon 3," which gave the former Sereno Hotel in St. Petersburg a cameo demolition.

The Punisher made Tampa look good, when light enough-- action and a lot of good Tampa shots.

The "'My Girl" house is in Bartow, FL.

Parts of "Edward Scissorhands" was filmed on location in Lakeland of the vintage '50s-'60s shopping center.

"Silver Moon" with Ed Harris and Madeline Stowe.

As far as pure local films ... written, shot and produced here ... "Descansos."

I also noted on some thread somewhere awhile back that a friend and I were uncredited extra reporters in a scene of "Armageddon", filmed at the Kennedy Space Center, over in Cocoa, FL, on the East coast of FL.

Over in Orlando there has been a lot more filming:  They blew up the old Court House downtown in the one of the 1st scenes of Lethal Weapon 3. Then they built the new one after.  Perfect.

They were filming the Ace Ventura Pet Detective Jr movie at Universal Studios while we were there-tons of it was filmed in the Jurassic Park portion of the park.

Jurassic Park 3 had scenes filmed at Universal too.

I know there are a lot more, but this is long enough.  :)

In 1991 "The Vagrant" had a scene that was filmed in the office building I worked in at the time.  I've never seen the film. :P


I still haven't seen this :D

Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure had scenes shot at Metrocenter Mall in Phoenix and the Circle K ("strange things are afoot...") is in Tempe.

Part of AZ Loop 202 (Mesa - Red Mountain Freeway) was used for the scene on the freeway in The Kingdom.

Jeff I don't know how you missed this... unless you haven't seen little miss sunshine... in the film the when the family is traveling to "Redondo Beach" (or whereever they were going for the pageant)  the bridge they film when they first see the hotel... and the hotel are actually located in Ventura CA which is close to where Jeff and I live but closer to Jeff than to me...



When I lived in Stockton parts of The Sure Thing were filmed at UOP
When I lived in Salinas Turner and Hooch was filmed in Monterey
Sideways was filmed in the near me
and well  our substation was used as an exterior shot in an episode of the Mentalist
and a UCSB campus map was used in a shot of Medical Investigation (it was used to represent some university in the East Coast... this makes me think someone on the production staff is also UCSB Alumni!)  8)

oh and this is doesn't quite fit but its totally random and weird!  anyone remember Sante & Kenny Kimes? they were mother & son murder team?  Kenny lived in Santa Barbara and rented a room from one of my co-workers. When lifetime made a tV movie about the team (it was kind of lame) they actually inserted my co-worker (as a character - not the man) into the film. They used my co-worker's name and gave his 'character a couple of lines.... funny thing tho.. he (my co-worker) had no idea he was being portrayed in this film...someone forgot to get his permission or, perhaps because he signed a release when he was interviewed by Dateline or 48 hours or whatever he gave up those rights because they essentially pulled his lines from that interview...

^ That's an excellent list, but I haven't seen any of those films you mentioned.

I also found out that the same house was used in a scene from the 2000 movie Charlie's Angels (which I've never seen), which also starred Drew Barrymore! Her character wasn't living there, though.

I did, however, get a chance to finally see this movie last month, and I kept watching for the scene in which she landed (albeit nude) in the backyard of ET's house. I described what was going on there in the "Inside Jokes" thread in More Than A Decade.

too bad... Little miss sunshine is a really funny dark comedy... you know that train bridge in ventura? its that bridge...its unmistakably identifiable.

Yes, I know of a couple of them...including one that goes over Highway 101 just before the California Street exit. :)

that;s the one...

I don't remember the name of the film, but a horror movie was shot a few years ago in a rather creepy house in my city.

I don't know when filming will start, but there is soon to be a big Denzel Washington film (about a runaway train) to be filmed in the town where I grew up (total population less then 5,000 people.)  So it's big news!  Just read it in the online television station news webpage thing.

Connecticut is used as a film location.  I can't recall anything specific though.

I looked up Haunting in Connecticut but apparently that was filmed in Canada.

mmmm denzel....now there's someone I have to meet!  :)

There is series on the BBC called New Tricks and that is filmed in west London, I am always watching out for them, I found and seen the Base, but never the locations at the time of filming. Watching on tv, I do recognise the locations used.

On the journey down to see my family, we saw some filming for a new movie in London, the title will be London Boulevard, my son saw Colin Farrell and I saw David Thewlis.

  Was told by my boss today that a movie producer visited the plant where I work to check the place out.  Word is that a scene/scenes from a Clint Eastwood directed movie called "Hereafter" may be shot there.  They were looking for an industrial-type setting in an old-style building (C&H's main structure was built in the late 1800s and expanded in the early 1900s)...

  The film is to star Matt Damon and his scene in the plant is to involve him driving a forklift...

  Alll I can find about the movie is this - http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117995852.html?categoryid=13&cs=1

  "...it is described as in the vein of "The Sixth Sense."

  Pass...

Several scenes from the movie Speed were filmed on highways and other public works facilities that are quite familiar to me. At one point in the film, the I-105 Freeway is mentioned. At the time the movie was filmed, said freeway was under construction and almost finished, but not quite open to the public as of yet. However, the city of Los Angeles gave the filming crews permission to use the highway for the needed scenes. There is also a scene at LAX, an airport which I've been to a few times (most recently in 2002); however, one particular airport scene was actually filmed several dozen miles north, in Mojave.

Watched Sherlock Holmes last week and the bits on the spiral staircase were filmed at my work. All we got told at the time was there was some filming going on after hours but not what!
