Filming Locations!!!

[MacLeod]

Well, I may not have been in show business for as long as you have. But I'm a quick learner. And right now, I'm going to give the audience what I think they want.

Ah "The Running Man" a bit of 80's Cheese, but reasonable cheese.

I love hunting film locations and don't often get the chance to show them off!

The location for the base in Torchwood at Cardiff Bay

Wells, which doubled for the town in Hot Fuzz

and The shop from Clerks

back when I used to travel to Los Angeles more regularly I visited a fair number of places, my favorite being the bat cave from the Adam west TV series.

When I attended Cornell back in the 1980s they filmed the exterior winter scenes for "the sure thing" there.

I was the overnight security officer for the Driskill Hotel in downtown Austin when they filmed the Billy Bob Thornton / Dennis Quaid version of The Alamo there. The previous year, it was used for a few scenes for Miss Congeniality.

I saw some of Spy Kids 3 bein' filmed on Congress Avenue in front of the Paramount in Austin one mornin', too.

I was an extra for an episode of NBC's Friday Night Lights when they filmed an "game" at the Longhorns' football stadium.

And that's all I can think of at the moment...

Sherlock is being filmed in Bath on a week Monday around the corner from where I am studying, so I might pop along to see it.

Plus I'm not far from Lacock and a few things, including three of the Potter films were filmed at the abbey there.

That's a great hotel. A few years ago I was visiting Austin and, while I didn't stay there, we had drinks in the bar. Ended up talking to a couple of screenwriters (don't recall their names or what they were working on). Always wanted to go back and visit it again.

I was just in NYC and walked past the NY Public Library, where they filmed the beginning of Ghostbusters. I was there in April and it looks the same.

I walked past the Solow Building, where Superman catches the burglar outside the window in Superman: The Movie. In fact, the Solow Building is basically across the street from the library.
