From Dystopian Games to Bite-Sized Waffles: Georgia's Diverse Filmography
Georgia's got more than just peaches (although, let's be real, those are pretty darn amazing too). The state boasts a surprisingly diverse landscape, from lush forests to bustling cityscapes, making it a chameleon-like chameleon (wait, is that redundant?) for filmmakers. So, which blockbusters have graced Georgia with their presence?
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
The Hunger Games Trilogy: Ever wonder where Katniss Everdeen battled for survival? Look no further than Georgia's rolling hills and dense forests. Fun Fact: Apparently, some fans got a little too enthusiastic and tried to visit the fictional District 12. Let's just say, it wasn't exactly a thriving metropolis.
Stranger Things: Hawkins, Indiana, might seem like a sleepy Midwestern town, but it was actually filmed in various locations around Atlanta, Georgia. Warning: Don't be surprised if you see flickering lights or hear creepy synth music while exploring these spots.
Driving Miss Daisy: This heartwarming classic took viewers on a scenic journey through the Georgia countryside. Buckle up for beautiful vistas and a story that will melt even the iciest of hearts (though, maybe not the Demogorgon's heart... that thing's probably pretty darn cold).
Fast & Furious 6: Georgia likes to keep things interesting, and what's more interesting than high-octane car chases? Vin Diesel and the crew brought their brand of vehicular mayhem to the streets of Atlanta. Side Note: If you're planning on attempting your own street race, remember, they're professionals. Leave the wild car stunts to the movie stars.
