Hollywood in the Heartland: Movies (Maybe) Filmed in Columbus, Ohio

There have been attempts (some more successful than others) to capture the magic of Columbus on the silver screen.

| What Movies Were Filmed In Columbus Ohio |
Lights, Camera, Maybe Action?
Let's be honest, Columbus isn't exactly drowning in A-list blockbusters. But hey, there have been a few! Dark Waters, a legal thriller starring Mark Ruffalo, features some recognizable Columbus scenery. Though some eagle-eyed viewers might argue a courthouse interior could be filmed anywhere, right?
There's also Liberal Arts, a charming indie flick starring Zac Efron. While the plot revolves around a college reunion in Ohio, some scenes were actually filmed in...New York. But hey, at least they got the state part right!
Buckle Up, It's a B-Movie Bonanza!
Okay, so maybe Columbus isn't exactly attracting Oscar contenders. But fear not, there's a whole world of delightfully weird B-movies out there! We're talking about films like I Am Wrath (think Liam Neeson with a vengeance, Ohio style) and the delightfully bizarre Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken! (intrigued? Don't be – trust me).
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
Look, these movies may not win critical acclaim, but they provide endless entertainment for those rainy days when you need a good laugh (or maybe a good cringe).
So, What Movies WERE Actually Filmed in Columbus?
This is where things get tricky. There seems to be a bit of a disconnect between movies set in Columbus and those actually filmed here. The Jesse Owens Story certainly chronicles the life of the legendary athlete, but filming locations remain a mystery. Goodbye, Columbus may have the city in the title, but it actually set up shop in California.
Hollywood, we see you! We know Columbus has charm, quirky neighborhoods, and a killer skyline. Maybe next time you're scouting locations, give our fair city a real shot.
