Movie Locations: In Films Then and Now – Part 2

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the second part of our new column!

So here we go with some new movie locations:

Our first location is a classic one: the Flat Iron Building, 5th Ave between 22nd and 23rd St., Manhattan, New York City, which was used in the Spiderman movies and will probably be featured in Spiderman 4 as The Daily Bugle, the newspaper where Peter works. This building appeared in several other movies too,like I Am Legend, Armageddon and Hitch.

Let’s move on, because for the next location, we’re going to “go” to France! We’re in Paris, where the Grand Palais (close to the Champs-Elysee) plays the National Museum where the Pink Panther is stolen and where the SuperTeam meets up in The Pink Panther 2.

I think you all will recognize this one. We’re in Warner Bros Studios Backlot, where a strange shop (also seen in Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure) was dressed as the crazy barber-saloon that Zohan (Adam Sandler) opens in You Don’t Mess With the Zohan (you can notice above the sign SALON is still there). On this short block more than 50 productions were shot, including Spiderman, Road to Perdition, The Mask and Minority Report.

Here we are! Finally a Twilight location, eheh! We’re in Kalama, Oregon, where the Kalama High School was used as Bella and Edward’s high school in Twilight.

Our lasr location is from Stuart Little 2. We’re in the familiar stairs to Bathesda Fountain, Central Park, where Stuart and Margalo try to escape from the Falcon. In one shot they fly under the stairs and the big finale is, obviously, in the Bathesda Fountain.

So this is it for today, check back Monday for our next installment.
