Search for Movie fans of gold in California Vacation
Are you a movie fan who likes to take interesting vacations? Did not would be fun to take a trip to Southern California to Watch Movies filming locations?
California is rich in the history of cinema with many points of interest you can visit the filming. If you've never been to Universal City, this is a good place to start. Here you can go behind the scenes and watch sets used repeatedly in the Films. After his tour, walking tour universal city with restaurants and shops.
However, throughout the world visit these places of interest and you and I are serious fans of cinema and want something more interesting.
The best place for the film and western fans in the City History Museum Gene Autry of the witch of the American West is part of the Autry National Center at 4700 Western Heritage Way to Interstate 5, near Griffith Park. Let me tell you people this Museum has the most amazing things you've ever seen. Some exhibitions are film history and many of the exhibits are real life. the true story of Annie Oakley and the actual weapon used to, for example, will say: "Hey, this girl was the real deal."
After the museum from and is at the Griffith Park to take the unit to Griffith Planetarium and see the place where James Dean Rebel Without a Cause. Remember that the school trip and the climax shooting. Studies many movies filmed here in this huge city park. Remember the scene in The Rocketeer in front of the planetarium when he fights the bells and flies to the dirigible. Other movies offered by the Centre include Steve Martin Hollywood satire Bowfinger, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle, the film Dragnet spoofy 1987 with Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd.
If you like adventure and do not care much about the driving, there are many famous film locations scattered throughout the southern California. These houses, shops and shopping centers like the Puente Hills Mall 1600 Azusa Ave., City of Industry, California, where in 1985, Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered machine DeLorean "time" invented by slightly mad scientist Christopher Lloyd.
Some places can be found on the Internet. Some are no longer there, but have been born again, like the ruins of a demolished steel plant in Fontana, a suburb of San Bernardino 10 east Los Angeles, where scenes from the Terminator Route, and future resistance hero John Connor were filmed, is now the California Speedway. Here you can see where Lindsay Lohan made The Movie Herbie Fully Loaded and competed with the Volkswagen bug with a mind of its own in this racetrack.Not far away in the Lake Arrowhead area is where Lindsay made his first The Parent Trap movie. You can drive around the lake (Lake Gregory is not the arrowhead) and found many scenes in the film.
North of Los Angeles Highway 14 is in an area known as Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park. Hundreds of movies and commercials are made in this area since they started making films including Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, "the planet Vulcan: Vasquez Rocks has been used in hundreds of Westerns and science fiction films. The Flintstones, Bill and Ted's Bogus journey, Mel Brooks Blazing Saddles, and many others to mention. It is unusual in the middle of the desert, but well worth watching. All the people of Flintstones was built and opened to the public for a while. Just remember that it is a park and after filming the contrary, the sets are removed but the rocks crazy are interesting. Take pictures and compare them with the films to be discussed later.
While in the area, you should visit the Shambala Reserve for the movie and other animals not far from Soledad Canyon in 6867 in Acton. It was started by Actress and conservationist Tippi Hedren is the beautiful blonde in Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds (and 67 other films). Mr. Hitchcock once said, "Tippi Hedren is really remarkable." I did not know how right he was even for different reasons. Tippi has Much time and effort to charitable causes. Trust me, you have a great time and Tippi sure to leave a small donation to help feed Large kittens.
If you plan a trip in October and you do not mind a walk in the desert, you may want to visit the Film Festival Lone Pine. Held every year in October. This year the dates are October 6. Seventh. And 8. Taking place in and around the town of Lone Pine California, where the film has continued every year since 1920. And doubles players appear without warning every year. The area is safe Hollywood favorite movie location for 85 years. About 400 feature films has scenes filmed here. It is a huge wilderness area in the foothills of the Sierra. During the festival, set up hundreds of little stands with photographs of movie them in the exact spot where they filmed the scene. One of my favorites is the large rocks where Randolph Scott Richard Boone held in The Prisoner T. Added This is where westerns John Wayne made many and, indeed, his last public appearance was here in the Great Western Commercial Savings Bank.
You never know that may appear on this event. Sometimes the actors are filming in the area and only appear. I turned to see why my wife was taking pictures and I saw Fred Dryer and Hugh O'Bryan standing by my side. You should see the picture he took of Robert Blake. Because it is not saturated, it is easy to talk to someone famous. I have stood on a street corner and talked with Gregory Peck and John Mitchum, without anyone bothering us. I talked to Robert Blake and saw him and Dale Evans (Yes Dale Evans) sitting on the table. I do not think he cared about by their language, but she did not say. She told us stories about her and Roy to make films in Lone Pine. Blake complained about how bad being a child star, but also told some funny stories.
East of Los Angeles near Palm Springs is an old historic town called West Pioneertown. Gene Autry and Roy Rogers built the place to make westerns. The old Western-style Salons and shops that were once pillars of movie cowboys were in danger with the brush fire this year, but firefighters saved them. Your city is using for movies and the last time I checked it was open to the public. It's in the high desert near Palm Springs.
Since we are near Palm Springs guess what? Even the streets here are named after Movie Stars. My son and I a ever sat in a golf course from here to make stupid questions to the stars while playing golf. I thought it was funny when he asked Don Knots "Who is Don Knots?
PS Do not forget to research locations and events. In the case of most film festivals, it is difficult to get a hotel booked within months in advance. We stayed a few miles from Big Pine. Visit my website http://www.TravelNetMall.com and prepare for the best vacation!
