Dominic
Senaís flashy thriller uses scuzzy landscapes around
Atlanta, Georgia,
and the Alabama Hills,
above Lone Pine, central California.
The Hills, striking rock formations set against the
dramatic backdrop of the snowcapped Sierra Nevada range,
have featured in countless movies, often doubling for
'India' and the Himalayas in such films as Gunga
Din, King
of the Khyber Rifles and Lives
of a Bengal Lancer, as well as Western landscapes
for How the West Was Won
and Joe Kidd.
An annual Lone
Pine Film Festival celebrates the area's cinematic
legacy, and even the place names reflect the importance
of the movie industry. The track leading up to the most
frequently used area is called Movie
Road.
The desert cafÈ is the closed and boarded-up Ludlow
CafÈ, Ludlow on I-40, about 30 miles east
of Newberry Springs (site of the Bagdad
Cafe), in the southern California desert. More
desert scenes were filmed further west on I-40 at Amboy.
The old 'Bradbury Textile Warehouse', the 'Pittsburgh'
murder site, is actually Murrays
Mill, 1200 Foster Street, Atlanta, previously
the E Van Winkle Gin and Machine Works, and now a listed
historical site.
