What it is:
A travel guide to movie and television program locations in Southern California.
Why we love it:
This unusual travel guide is perfect for both movie buff visitors and Southern California residents. It's not only a fascinating guide to film locations in the area but it's also loaded with information about places to visit, restaurants, hotels, parks, and attractions. Author, Harry Medved, interviewed dozens of production designers, location managers, and actors to pinpoint filming sites from Malibu to Mammoth and Lone Pine to La Jolla. Where was the Kill Bill desert chapel? Or Dr. Evil's compound? Or the Star Wars sand dunes? Quotes from producers, directors, local historians, and location scouts are sprinkled throughout the lively text, along with photos and useful maps.
