Discover the ultimate collection of film and TV locations with the next
instalment in Lonely Planet's Spotter's Guide series. Featuring
locations from more than 100 of the most iconic scenes ever committed to
film, we'll show you where incredible moments from Indiana Jones,
Star Wars, Thelma & Louise, Game of Thrones and many more
favourites were shot.
Whether you're sat in the dark of your local cinema, or curled up on the
sofa, each film has the rare ability to transport you to amazing
destinations around the globe. Inside this book, you'll be able to
explore the real-life locations for some of the most famous productions
of all time, filmed in countries including Canada, Australia, Jordan,
Croatia, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Tunisia and India. Many of these
locations effortlessly played themselves, while others were disguised as
hostile, alien deserts, futuristic cityscapes, or Jedi hideaways.
While a film's job is make you forget you're watching one, there are
certain locations that can transport you right into the world of a
movie. If you want to feel like 007 with a license to kill, you can take
a boat out to James Bond Island, otherwise known as Khao Phing Kan, in
Thailand, home to The Man with the Golden Gun. If you want to follow
in the footsteps of Holly Golightly, then enjoy a coffee and a Danish
pastry outside Tiffany's in Manhattan. Or perhaps you'd like to
celebrate something momentous by running up the steps of the
Philadelphia Museum like Rocky Balboa.
Whether you're a film buff, a travel addict, or both, this book will
help to convince you that CGI is never a substitute for the real thing.
