Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Braveheart, James Bond, Unforgiven, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jurassic Park... If you every wondered where these famous movies (plus 400 others) were shot, then this is the book for you!This book contains 27 Chapters, each one focusing on a different part of the world. Each chapter begins with a map of the designated region, and shows popular destinations in which films were shot. Chapters are often divided into smaller portions. For example, Chapter 1 is North America. This single chapter contains sub-locations, such as the Pacific Coast, Wine Country, Death Valley, Rocky Mountains, etc.The text itself reads like a tour guide book, giving a brief history of the region and then highlighting various places of interest within that area. Movie titles are scattered throughout in bold font, but it is not very organized. Fortunately, if you are wondering where a specific film was shot, there is an index where you can look up film titles and see exactly what page they are on.The photos in the book are gorgeous, and there are 2-3 images on every page. Some of the shots seem to be original photographs, though most are images directly from movies. Most of the photographs include captions, telling you which film the photo was taken from and where in the world that scene was shot.Overall, the book's layout is just average and the text felt a bit disorganized. But the photos are plentiful, and I enjoyed seeing where some of my favorite movies were filmed. All landscapes are covered, from deserts to the tropics, from the Australian Outback to the Swiss Alps. I recommend this book to anyone who is a movie lover!Also, if you are less interested in landscapes and more interested in cities and architecture: On Location: Cities of the World in Film
A well produced book, nicely presented. The colour pictures are a nice addition to the information given about the locations.
