Tom HallThe Hobbiton Movie Set is a near-perfect example of ride-free world-building was constructed in 1999 as a temporary film set for The Lord of the Rings, then later rebuilt and expanded for The Hobbit movies (you´ll recall that director Peter Jackson lives and works in New Zealand).

Tunisia´s many Star Wars locations

George Lucas famously relied heavily on Tunisia´s atmospheric towns for many filming locations, and they´re mostly cluster in the deep south and on Djerba Island. What you'll see is a mix of actual backdrops and leftover film sets. The most atmospheric base is Tozeur (pop. 41,000), about seven hours southwest of Tunis. From here you reach the salt flats of Chott el-Djerid, where the Lars Homestead exterior was filmed for A New Hope and revisited in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith.…

Discovering Superman in Metropolis, Illinois

SeeMetropolis.com The Man of Steel famously hails from the fictional city of Metropolis, and in the early 1970s the leaders of this charming town of some 6,000 nestled along the picturesque Ohio River in the far south of Illinois decided to go all in on the name coincidence, launching "Project Superman" to create various sites and celebrations playing up the connection. Yes, it´s a bit gimmicky and contrived, but it´s also good clean fun, and no visit here would be complete without checking out…

I just saw "Nosferatu" - creepy! And loved the goth ambiance, part of which was boosted a lot by where it was set: Prague. And the next time I go back there I´ll look at the city with different eyes! https://travelnoire.com/where-was-nosferatu-filmed

Reading about Kevin Costner leaving "Yellowstone" and came across this WaPo piece about how the show - now filming its last season in Montana - has been driving lots of tourism to the park and all of Paradise Valley: https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/2023/10/05/yellowstone-show-t...

The Duttons are fake, but the ‘Yellowstone’ tourism boom is very real

Fans are coming to Montana to live their best cowboy life. That comes with positive economic effects, but misconceptions, too.
