The crowded checkpoint through which refugees flood is Wine Wharf, Xatt L-Ghassara Ta' L-Gheneb, on the south side of the Valletta peninsula in the Il-Marsa district. The ‘Jerusalem’ scenes were filmed around Valletta on the island of Malta in the Mediterranean, and ‘Atarot Airport’ is is Malta International Airport, at Luqa. With his family safely bunked aboard the Argus, Lane follows a tip to ‘Israel’, where strict border controls seem to be staving off the infection. It was originally intended to build the aircraft carrier deck at Bovingdon too but, in the end, a real ship – the RFA Argus berthed at Falmouth in Cornwall – was used, and renamed the USS Argus. As it turned out, the whole final third of WWZ’s ‘battle of Moscow’ sequence was jettisoned and a new ending filmed in Budapest, Hungary.
HD WORLD WAR Z MOVIE
The airfield was finally closed in 1972 and is now available to hire for movie shoots (Hagrid and Harry motorbike shots for Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part One were filmed here). Max Brooks has a zombie war on his hands, and apparently that was terrifying enough: World War Z is an easy, sea-level jaunt across the war-torn beaches. An operational RAF airfield built during WWII, Bovingdon was later used as a backdrop to films including 1961’s The War Lover, with Steve McQueen, and 1964 classic 633 Squadron. Sets for the ‘Philadelphia’ bridge, the ‘Newark’ projects and ‘Red Square, Moscow’ were built at the disused Bovingdon Airfield, on the B4505 between Chesham and Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire. The estate is an unlikely film star, having already appeared in 2009 Michael Caine revenge drama Harry Brown and having been besieged by aliens in Attack The Block.
The ‘Projects’ where the family flee the undead is the Heygate Estate in Southwark, south London. Still in Scotland, Lane drives the commandeered camper van past the petrochemical plant on Wholeflats Road, southeast of Grangemouth, an eastern suburb of Falkirk, as he tries to find out what’s happening.
The ‘Philly’ square in which they find themselves caught up in the mayhem is George Square, and that's not 'Philadelphia City Hall' but Glasgow City Chambers. The opening sequence of the zombie attack in ‘Philadelphia’ was filmed in Glasgow, Scotland, with Gerry Lane ( Brad Pitt) and his family, unaware of the impending chaos, stuck in traffic on Cochrane Street in the heart of the city. The locations for World War Z appear to range around the world, but the film was made, apart from second unit shots, in Europe.įans of the book will be disappointed that the geopolitical observation is largely dumped in favour of big-scale action sequences, and these are Danny Boyle-style ‘fast’ zombies rather than old-school George A Romero ‘slow’ zombies, but it’s great finally to have a film not afraid to use the Z-word.
