Location scouts search far and wide for the perfect spot that will ground the story in a time and place. Sometimes, this doesn’t always match the location in the story however, with filmmakers using the deserts of Arizona to look like outer space, or turning Hollywood lots into Northeastern forests.
States like New York, Georgia, and even North Dakota have provided stunning backdrops, helping filmmakers tell stories that will forever hold a place in cinematic history. Whether characters are traipsing through snow or riding Harley-Davidsons across sun-soaked highways, these movies wouldn’t be the same without the beautiful terrain from sea to shining sea.
