Don’t forget, I’ve been keeping up with the movie set travel/travel inspiration over at my “day job” on Jaunted.com. Here’s a look at what I’ve been up to.
Public Enemies, starring Johnny Depp and Christian Bale, opens nationwide on Wednesday to the usual Hollywood hype, but what sets the movie apart is that is was actually filmed where the real-life action once took place. Based on the life of gangster John Dillinger, who hid out for a short time in Northern Wisconsin until an FBI raid in 1934, the movie filmed in the dairy state.
The Proposal stars Sandra Bullock as a Canadian citizen, working in America, who is about to get deported. To avoid deportation, she forces her assistant, played by Ryan Reynolds, to marry her. The two then fly to Alaska to visit his family and break the news. The catch is, the movie was never actually filmed in Alaska, instead the Massachusetts coast stood in for the last frontier.
Pelham 123 stars Denzel Washington as a New York City subway dispatcher who finds himself up against a bitter ex-con (John Travolta) that hijacks one of his trains. The movie takes place and was filmed primarily within the NYC subway system, giving the rest of the world a look at the underbelly of New York City. Read more about the movie and the subway here.
