LOCATION, LOCATION What do these places have in common: Temple Church in London, the Louvre Museum in Paris, the deserts of Tunisia and Krakow in Poland? They are all locations for successful films. Some of the scenes in The Da Vinci Code are set in Temple Church in London and in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The deserts of Tunisia were used in two of the Star Wars films, and Schindler’s List was made in Krakow. Film fans often visit the location of their favourite films. This has created a new form of travel called ‘movie tourism’. Certain cities are capitals of movie tourism. For example, New York is used in hundreds of new films every year and attracts movie fans from all over world. London is also a very popular location for films including romantic comedies and action films. Brigit Jones’s Diary was filmed in London. The James Bond film Die Another Day also has scenes in London, as well as Hawaii and Iceland! Some travel agencies offer organised tours to movie locations. Director Peter Jackson chose New Zealand for The Lord of the Rings films because of its beautiful waterfalls, lakes and mountains. Now film fans can go on tours of these locations, travelling by coach, on foot and by plane. Harry Potter fans can book trips to visit buildings in Oxford, Gloucester and London – the locations for scenes in the first two Harry Potter films. So why do people visit film locations? Sometimes people are attracted by the beauty of the scenery. Others like to imagine that they are actors on location. But for most film fans, seeing the location of their favourite scene brings back very happy memories. Which film location would you like to go to?
