Well that new movie "The Assasination of Jesse James by..." starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck has some scenes that were shot in Ford Edmonton Park!

Hi everyone,

I saw "In Her Shoes" with Cameron Diaz and Toni Collette last night, and I recognized about half the places in it. One scene, where Toni Collette was with her friend in a small cheese/food shop and they were then walking down the street of an outside market, was filmed DIRECTLY around the corner from my house (literally less than a city block away).

Another scene, where Toni was with her "fiancee" at a cheesesteak place, was filmed about 5 blocks away from my house.

So I was just wondering, has anyone else seen movies filmed so close to their home? Not just in the same city, but actually close to their house?

Thanks

We have had a few TV programmes filmed near us.

I don't know if this counts, but a few years ago I was at a hotel in Chicago and they were filming something in the lobby (i remember thinking it was strange because all of the people in the movie were wearing these puffy dresses and feather hats.) I have no idea what they were filming or what it was, but my brother and I were having fun walking back and forth in the backround. lol

Ghost Rider (yet to be released) starring Nicolas Cage was filmed in Melbourne last year.

The film was being shot around the city. Parts of the film were shot over the foot bridge linking Southbank and Flinders St Train Station, so there were all these American-styled police cars on the bridge. I think part of the film was also filmed in the walkway underneath the station.


Mr Nice Guy/A Nice Guy with Jackie Chan was also filmed in Melbourne many years ago. You get to see many parts of the city too, including Queen Victoria Market, Luna Park, Melbourne Central and Swanston Street.
