    About this ebook

    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.

      Film locations familiar to millions of filmgoers. One beautiful color photo per page with an expanded caption, the book tends towards recent movies but also offers older locations. Examples include the Bradbury Building from Blade Runner and Vasquez Rocks from Star Trek, Devil's Tower from Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and the Vienna ferris wheel from The Third Man. Alongside from more recent fare are the restaurant from Seinfeld, the castle interior from Downton Abbey, and Jordan's Wadi Run from The Martian. Good range with more than 100 locations. Gotta fun.
