I wish I had a moon tower I could party at like in dazed and confused

One of the old Radiohead videos was filmed at Dick's Restaraunt in San Leandro... Does this qualify?

my city is always used in movies and dressed up (or down) to look like NYC.

 

ever seen that flick 16 Blocks with Bruce Willis and Mos Def?

I though it was new york untill they walked down a laneway

pst a REN throw. Then there was no question what city is really was.

Amistad was shot in my state somewhere...or some shit... The boat was here never really saw the movie i prolly should of thought this through a little more before i posted...

i saw my city in syriana

 

which was funny, because it wasn't exactly supposed to be here

and it was filmed all over the world.

 

buncha other movies have been shot here.

meh.

Hollywood of the North.. Couldnt go anywhere with out some movie set getting in your way.

The funniest thing about havin a movie shot in your city is knowing how fucked up the geography of the plot is...Like how a car will teleport from the north side to a bridge on the southside a mile away in 2 seconds, unbeknownst to the unsuspecting out of town viewer.

In the movie "The Heist" with Delroy Lindo and Danny Devito they dress up a little montreal street (the street that connects with the site for Montreal's first ever Meeting Of Styles ) as downtown New York and me and my boy got black outlines on this metal grate, theres a really still shot just before someone runs into the street to cause a diversion

I remember when they shot some of Road to Perdition in my home town

mystic river, boondock saints, a part in field of dreams, fever pitch, good will hunting....the list goes on...

Does that put more of your kind of work in your area ??

 

Or do they still bring the majority back to hollywood for post ??

Oh yeah ...

 

A bunch of scenes from Demolition Man were shot at skate spots I frequented about the time that movie came out !!!

exactly. studio execs and decision makers stay in LA.

 

my work is mostly TV based, so it doesn't effect me too much.
