Question 1

What movies were filmed in California?

Accepted Answer

After you see Space Jam: A New Legacy this summer, check out where some of the action of the classic 1996 Space Jam took place at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The Forum is a multipurpose events center, and it's also where Michael Jordan and Bugs Bunny shot hoops together on the court. Always Be My Maybe is a rom-com about an (almost) couple reuniting 15 years after they pursue different life paths. The film was shot in several locations across the West Coast of the US and Canada but, lucky for you, there are several iconic Always Be My Maybe filming spots you can check out in the Bay Area. Head to the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco to see Keanu Reeves's penthouse, or you can go to the Richmond District to visit Sasha's (played by Ali Wong) childhood home. There's also a cameo of The Palace of Fine Arts, which is free to visit 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Question 2

What TV shows were filmed in California?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to drama, Jane the Virgin has got to win a prize for squeezing pregnancy, murder, long-lost siblings, and love triangles into one series. To relive all those fun plot twists, you can check out the filming location of the fictional Marbella hotel at the Ritz-Carlton in Marina del Rey, California. The Ritz-Carlton was used for exterior shots, so picture Jane and Rafael walking outside as you enjoy the grounds and gardens. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is a family favorite but, contrary to popular belief, the mansion where Will Smith stays with his wealthy extended family is actually located in Brentwood, California—not Bel-Air. Even so, fans are welcome to visit the architectural masterpiece during the day, and Los Angeles residents are now welcome to stay overnight. Smith announced in September 2020 that guests can rent his old room in the private wing of the Banks residence.

Question 3

What movies were filmed in Ohio?

Accepted Answer

And visiting Wakanda won't require a passport, as you can go to the Chattahoochee Hills Bouckaert Farm in Fairburn, Georgia, to see where the epic battle between T'Challa, Killmonger, and their armies was filmed. Doctor Sleep gives Freddy Kruger a run for his money, and fans of Stephen King's book-turned-movie franchise can visit several locations across Georgia to see where some of the film was shot. In Atlanta, Georgia, head to the historic Plaza Theatre where scenes depicting murders by members of the True Knot cult were filmed. The cinema opened in 1939 and still screens older movies, so you can check out the latest show before heading out.

What TV shows were filmed in Georgia?

Vampire fans probably already know this, but you can also eat at the Mystic Grill in Covington, Georgia. Aside from being featured in Doctor Sleep, the restaurant was a staple for Elena, Damien, and Stephen from the Vampire Diaries series. The God of Mischief is quickly becoming one of our favorite antiheroes with the release of Marvel's new series Loki on Disney+, so here is a list of all the places you can visit to get your real-world Loki fix. To see Stark Tower where the series begins, head to The Proscenium located on Peachtree Street in Midtown Atlanta, Georgia. You won't need a tourist visa to visit the 1500s medieval church set in Aix-en-Provence, France, as the actual building, known as Westview Cemetery, is also located in Atlanta, Georgia. Consider checking into the Atlanta Marriott Marquis in downtown Atlanta to get a better idea of how the series used the space to bring the Time Variance Authority (TVA) offices to life. Lovecraft Country first aired in 2020 and the mixed-genre, historical fiction series is based off Matt Ruff's 2016 novel, which has the same name. Some of the most iconic filming locations featured on the show include Bisham Manor, which is located in La Grange, Georgia. There is a cameo of the mansion at the end of the first episode, and it's also the set for the Netflix series The Haunting of Hill House.

Question 6

What movies were filmed in Rhode Island?

Accepted Answer

There's plenty of drama on the East Coast as well. One of the lavish weddings in 27 Dresses was shot in Marble House in Newport, Rhode Island.

Question 10

What movies were filmed in Alabama?

Accepted Answer

Get Out is a Jordan Peele classic that shed's light on the awkward and unpleasant intricacies of interracial relationships in the US. Despite being set in upstate New York, the Armitage family home is actually located in Fairhope, Alabama. Cue the sunken place. Fans of the film can check out this house for free, so if you're in Mobile Bay, head east to see where Peele's 2017 masterpiece was shot.

Question 11

What TV shows were filmed in Illinois?

Lovecraft Country is also filmed in Chicago, so head to Illinois to learn more about the history of the city's African-American community. The intersection of W. 18 Street and S.
