As I’ve mentioned, I have been writing a Movie Set Travel Column each week over at Jaunted.com. Here’s a look at the settings and locations for Push, Watchmen, and Sunshine Cleaning.
The best thing about Push is definitely the location. Set and filmed entirely in Hong Kong the gorilla-style film techniques used to capture the authenticity of the city totally pay off. If you find yourself wanting to catch the next flight to Hong Kong after watching the movie (which you will) here’s what to do when you get there.
Watchmen, aka the movie with the giant blue penis, is set in NYC but was primarily filmed on a sound stage in Vancouver with only a few days on location in L.A. and New York. Here’s your guide to Vancouver, Watchmen style.
Sunshine Cleaners stars Amy Adams and Emily Blunt as sisters who start a “biohazard cleaning service”, in other words, they clean up crime scenes and suicides. The movie is set in Albuquerque, NM where it was also filmed. Check out my Sunshine Cleaners guide to Albuquerque, minus the blood and police tape.
