I got tired of searching “where was this filmed” and landing on listicles, so I built the map instead. Search a title to see where it was shot, or search a place to see what was made there.
2,538 locations, 4,214 films and series. It is all built from Wikidata, one statement per pin, so every card links back to the source and you can check me.
It is honest about what it does not know, which no listicle is. 938 productions are recorded only at country level and the page says so. Gladiator is Malta and Morocco and nothing finer. Casablanca resolves to California. It also never claims which scene was shot where, because filming records do not carry that.
430 video games are on there too, placed by where they are set rather than shot, because a game is filmed nowhere.
Yep, I lived in Brantford while they filmed Silent Hill and it’s not on the map
We were all really excited that they cleaned up the creepy fake people added to the abandoned storefronts to make downtown feel nicer.
That must be so cool to witness it! I will see if I can add it and you will be cited of course in the change log. Thanks for mentioning it:)
Ahhhh I don’t want to be cited, but it’ll be on IMDb or many articles I. The Brantford expositor
I see, I will not cite you then;)
It’s also on Wikipedia, which has a section with every city it was filmed in
That was probably fun for a week or two though I’d imagine. Leaning into a little horror fun. I’m a sucker for Halloween though so maybe just me
They had these colourful human silhouettes in all the closed businesses to make it feel lively. But the problem is when the whole street is just silhouettes it does not feel lively, it’s creepy and weird. And not in a Halloween way.
