If you’re like me (and any of a bajillion other nerds out there), you saw this first film in the preposterously successful Star Wars franchise and were easily convinced that Tatooine was just some barren wasteland of a planet (in a galaxy far, far away). But as it turns out, those scenes were actually just shot in the convincingly barren Djerba, Si...
Stripped of his rank and left for dead, Gladiator protagonist Maximus Decimus Meridius is carted off by slave traders to the Roman province of Zuccabar, where he embarks on a series of epic training montages to become the infamous gladiator. In reality, you can visit “Zuccabar” (aka Aït Benhaddou) in Morocco’s Hollywood, Ouarzazate. If those burnt-...
A British cult-classic, Monty Python and the Holy Grail is a textbook example of movie magic at work. Apparently, the film’s producers originally secured the rights from the National Trust in Scotland to shoot at a variety of Scottish castles, as well as special permission to shoot at the Doune Castle from the Lord of Moray. At the very last minute...
The third film in Daniel Craig’s James Bond incarnation, Skyfall opens with an intense motorbike chase scene across the rooftops surrounding Eminonu Square, and then through the Grand Bazaar in the old quarter of Istanbul, Turkey. According to local reports, on the first day of shooting the chase, Craig’s stuntman lost control of the bike — and sma...
Nothing says “authentic Old West America” like… Spain? As odd as it sounds, apparently outsourcing our tumbleweeds and swinging saloon doors to locations in Italy and Spain was the common practice for nearly every (now famous) spaghetti Western produced in the 1960’s and 1970’s. If you’re itchin’ to get some dust on your spurs and experience the Am...
In the third and final film of Christian Bale’s stint as the Dark Knight, Bale’s Bruce Wayne finds himself trapped with a broken spine, deep inside a prison pit in some faraway land. After (ostensibly months of) rehabilitation, Wayne manages to liberate himself from the pit, and emerges to find himself at the foot of the impressive Mehrangarh Fort ...
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the 2008 ABBA-inspired film Mamma Mia! that is set in Greece, was largely shot in Greece (even though producers took other liberties, like filming scenes set in New York in London, for example). Filmed largely on the Greek island of Skopelos, and in parts of nearby Damouchari in Pelion, Mamma Mia! was shot almost entirely wi...
Featuring some of the most quintessential and archetypal “camels crossing the desert” scenes in the history of film, Lawrence of Arabiamay be single-handedly responsible for my insatiable desert-lust. Though producers hit a number of dune hotspots around the world (including the Imperial Sand Dunes in California, and Ouarzazate in Morocco), the maj...
While the temple may not be filled with booby-traps or contain the holy cup of Christ, the cliffside facade at Al Khazneh (featured in the climax of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade) really *does* look like that, and can be found in Petra, Jordan. As a direct result of the film’s success, tourism to the region has exploded exponentially, and the ...
The first in a remarkably successful 4-film franchise, Pirates of the Caribbeanwas actually shot largely in the Caribbean…who knew? If you’ve seen the film, you probably remember the scene where Captain Jack Sparrow and Elizabeth Swan find themselves marooned on a deserted island — the same island where Jack is later forced to utter the most quotab...
