Okay, so, I’ve been digging into this whole thing about movies filmed in Georgia. It’s way bigger than I thought. Seriously, this state’s like a mini-Hollywood or something. I got curious after watching a couple of films and realizing they were shot there.
First, I started with a simple search. I just typed “movies made in Georgia” into the search bar. Boom! Tons of stuff popped up. I found a bunch of articles and lists. It was overwhelming, to be honest. I mean, who knew there were so many?
Then, I started going through some of the lists. You got your big names like “Avengers: Endgame”. I mean, that’s a huge one, right? Everyone’s seen it. Apparently, a good chunk of it was filmed in Georgia. That’s wild!
I also found out that the state’s been used for all kinds of movies. We’re talking about everything from those old-school car movies from the 70s to movies about big historical events. It’s not just about the big cities like Atlanta, either. Places like Savannah are also super popular for filming. They talked about “Forrest Gump” and how that bench scene made Chippewa Square famous. I learned the actual bench is in a museum now, which is a cool fact.
- “Anchorman” which was also filmed here, is considered a classic Adam McKay film.
- Georgia is now the top place in the world for making big movies, beating out places like California and the UK. That’s insane!
- The state gives these big tax breaks to film companies. That’s why they all go there. Cheaper to make movies, which means more money for the studios.
- It’s not just about the money, though. They say it creates jobs and builds up the film industry there. Good for Georgia, I guess.
Some Cool Things I Found
I spent a good few hours just reading and watching videos about it. It’s honestly fascinating how much of an impact this has had on Georgia. The whole thing started making me want to visit some of these places. Road trip, anyone? It’s like a whole different way of seeing the state, through the lens of all these movies.
So yeah, that’s my deep dive into movies made in Georgia. Way more than I expected, and definitely something I’m going to keep looking into. Maybe I’ll even make a list of movies to watch just based on their Georgia locations. Who’s with me?
