More than a hundred films and series have been
shot in New York. Here's your chance to get to know the five most important
places in New York through films that at
these locations were filmed.
Here are some of the Big Apple locations that
are almost inevitable for both visitors and filmmakers:
The Adjustment Bureau - Brooklyn Bridge
The bridge connecting Brooklyn and Manhattan
is one of New York's biggest symbols. The walk across the bridge provides a
great view of the skyscrapers and the New York City Financial Center, but not
to neglect the very construction of the bridge that was completed in the
distant 1883. It is 1,825 meters long, with around 150,000 cars passing through
it every day. The middle part of the bridge is reserved for pedestrians and
cyclists.
I Legend - Washington Square Park
In this film, Will Smith spends his time in
Washington Park, located within the beautiful Greenwich Village. The park was
recently restored for a staggering $ 16 million dollars. Most of the buildings
around it belong to New York University, and a special attraction is the
triumphal arch built in honor of George Washington. The park is a center of
cultural events and a favorite gathering place for young people.
Die Hard 3 - Central Park
Over a hundred large movie scenes have been
filmed in Central Park, and the most famous is the one in which Bruce Willis
takes a taxi through the park to reach the finish line and save the world.
However, "New York Lungs" are not intended for car racing, but for
sports activities, concerts and peaceful walks. If you have the time, explore
the lesser-known northern part of this green oasis.
Black Swan - Lincoln Center

Although most of the scenes in the Black Swan
Oscar winner take place between the four walls of the ballet hall, the scenes
filmed in the open are not to be underestimated. The Lincoln Center houses
cultural institutions such as the Metropolitan Opera, as well as numerous other
small and large theaters and concert halls. The promenade and facade have also
been recently restored.
Ghostbusters 2 - The Statue of Liberty
Visiting New York would not be complete without
a visit to the Statue of Liberty. Lady Liberty has been in the same place since
1886, and tourists can view it with boat tours. In2012, access to the interior
of the statuue was not allowed due to renovation.
