Author Topic: 50 Movies for 50 states John Lasher Master Film Handler Posts: 493 From: Newark, DE Registered: Aug 2001 posted 07-06-2009 10:40 PM                        quote: "Bobby Henderson" Another thing to consider is this: has any movie of significance been filmed or even set in Delaware? "Dead Poets Society" I believe was filmed entirely in the first state, I know two pivotal scenes were filmed at the historic Everett Theatre in Middletown. I believe they still have some call sheets and production stills on display in the lobby.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan."

It's a good movie, but I didn't even remember it being set in Delaware. I thought it was set somewhere in Connecticut or Massachusetts. Internet Movie Database says the entire movie was filmed in Delaware. These are the shooting locations: Everett Theatre - 47 West Main Street, Middletown, Delaware, USA (A Midsummer Night's Dream performance) Middletown, Delaware, USA New Castle, Delaware, USA Rockland, Delaware, USA St. Andrew's School - 350 Noxontown Road, Middletown, Delaware, USA (school) Westover Hills, New Castle, Delaware, USA (House of Leonard's father) Wolf Cave, Delaware, USA (exteriors - society meetings) quote: Sam Graham If you must tie actual shooting locations in for Oklahoma, I would have gone with "Twister". While much of Twister was filmed in Oklahoma, some parts of it were filmed in Iowa. A few scenes were even shot in Canada. I also spotted one strange piece of footage, probably stock footage, that was obviously filmed in Texas. Some Texas "Farm to Market" highway route signs were visible in the shot despite the movie being set in Oklahoma. I think The Outsiders is a better movie. Twister just seems more and more goofy every time I see it airing on cable. quote: Sam Graham My favorite pick of all is "Children of the Corn" for Nebraska. That's perfect. It's too bad that none of the movie was filmed in Nebraska, even though the story was set there. According to IMDB, nearly all of the footage was shot in Iowa.  |  IP: Logged
