After seeing The Hunted (a while ago), I realized that I"m happy movies aren't often made in my area. Its always neat when you know that a movie was made near you but if the areas are recognizable, it ****s it up for you. For those of you who don't know, The Hunted is filmed in Portland, Oregon. Its weird because Tommy Lee will be chasing Deltoro near the Portland opera house and next thing you know they are down by the Waterfront in Portland and trust me, they are not within walking distance of each other. I just found it annoying. Have any of you experienced something like this?

Krosus
Just one film.
New John Malkovich flick based on a true story called.
''Colour me Kubrick'' - still filming
They filmed it in the Slummy area of town i work called Hightown in Luton, all about a guy who impersonates Kubrick. Based during his filming of eyes wide shut, sounds pretty boring to me but ya never know.

roundisfunny
"A League of Their Own", starring...well, you know.

"Hard Rain", starring Christian Slater & Morgan Freeman.

"Soul of the Game" (HBO), starring Lee Ermey & Mikelti Williamson
I got to be an extra in this one, and met Lee Ermey. Nice guy.

"A Horse for Danny" (TV), starring Robert Urich and a pre-pubescent Leelee Sobieski.
Some friends of mine took a video camera and got to talk with those two stars. Pretty thrilling for them.

Yeah i think i remember one something like that being filmed here with all the guys in black sunnies,hmm. Oh and dont forget that one about those people having wars in space or something. In a galaxy far far away or something? big grin

They also filmed Mission Impossible 2 here. That was quite annoying cos there's a scene that's supposed to be in Spain and its just in a SYdney home.

Oh and Moulin Rouge!

And some new one they're filming just outside Sydney in the bush starts with S or something cant remember.
There's more too but they're ones I dont know the names or are either crap so theres no point remembering them.

I live in a prison town in East Texas where a lot of prison films like A Perfect World and The Life of David Gale have been filmed.

Also, The Chase (Charlie Sheen and Kristie Swanson) was filmed on the Hardy Toll Road near where I live.

Harrison Ford came to the University in the state capitol where I live to consult some professors for that movie that he did with Brendan Fraser about the childhood illness. Apparently the professor here either was the person Ford portrayed, or one of the leading doctors in the study.

Also, most of "Elizabethtown" with Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst was filmed in Nebraska, and parts of "O Brother, Where Art Thou," as well as that film, gah, I can't remember the name, the one with Jack Nicholson and Kathy Bates and the infamous hot tub scene?

Nebraska is mostly farmland, so we're used a lot when wide, flat, open spaces and small, homey cities are called for.

Omega Vision
The Truman Show was filmed about five miles from where I live.

Most of the movie was filmed near me as well (Portland, OR). I know one person who was an extra in the background and another who was some sort of set assistant for that movie.
