Famous Locations
Did screenshotyou know that Saving Private Ryan's Omaha Beach scenes were actually filmed in Ireland, not France? And while Star Wars was set in a galaxy far, far away, Tunisia and California's Death Valley stood in for Luke Skywalker's home planet of Tatooine. These are just a few locales made famous in the movies, and you can find them -- and many more -- profiled here. Discover the English castles, libraries, and cathedrals used as Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the first Harry Potter movie. View the wide range of exotic locales for every James Bond film, including the upcoming Die Another Day. Poke around historic buildings like Hatfield House, built in 1611, which has served as the fictional home of Michael Keaton in Batman, Judi Dench in Shakespeare in Love, and Angelina Jolie in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. Take a look around -- maybe there's a famous location near you. (in Film Trivia)
