They haul them around to ALL the sites where the film was shot; I hear 21 different sites.
I have never seen it......I guess I should, just to see how well we fare in the film.....
When the tours began there were interviews with some of the 'tourists' who were all sighing at how beautiful it is.
One lady said she had come on pilgrimage, my words not hers,
**rolls eyes**
from Philadelphia......Others had come from equally long distances. I cannot imagine given it is after all a film, not RL,
but what made me really pause were those who flew all the way to NZ to get in touch with LOTR.
:P
Recently a friend came from VA and when we were in the Columbia gorge, a national heritage site, I pointed out
Viewpoint Inn and then told her it was one of the locales for the film Twilight.
I can see why they used the inn and then further east in the gorge, Multnomah Falls. They are breathtaking.
I guess the location people for the film went nuts here in Oregon looking for just the right sites.
