So many times we are led to believe that movies are actually filmed in the location mention in the movie. Not so. Movie Producers often seek to find the cheapest place to film a movie, not necessarily the right place. For instance, remember the TV show Northern Exposure, set in Alaska. This was actually filmed in Washington State in a tiny town called Roslyn. “Message in a Bottle” starring Kevin Costner was set in the Outer Banks, but was filmed in three different locations in Maine. “High School Musical”, set in New Mexico, was filmed in Utah.

Next time you watch a movie, and want to know where it is filmed, wait for the ending credits and see which cities get thanked!
