This is the Actual Island on Which Tom Hanks Filmed 'Cast Away'

Where: Fiji
March 27, 2013 at 10:26 AM | by | Comments (0)

Last week, we dished on Air Pacific's brand new airplane, new look as Fiji Airways, and even mentioned how to test out the fresh bird. Just the thought of Fiji seems exotic, pretty far away, and difficult to get to. Exotic, yes. Far away, sure. Hard to get to, not at all. This week, we'll be looking at what there is to do once you do make it to the way out to the middle of paradise.

This photo is not your typical shot of a tropical South Pacific island. Nope—it was taken from onboard a zippy catamaran trip going from Nadi to Tokoriki, and that island in the distance may be a tropical South Pacific deserted island, but for a time it was the center of Hollywood's universe. It's practically a movie star.

Yep, you heard it right, that island is just as much a celebrity as, say, Tom Hanks. If you think it looks a little familiar that's because it's the actual island from the 2000 box office blockbuster movie, Cast Away.

March 15, 2013 at 2:50 PM | by | Comments (0)

The protagonist of the new Vegas-set movie The Incredible Burt Wonderstone may be a fictional character, but he got plenty of help from the real deal for the film.

Many scenes in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, the new Steve Carrell/Jim Carrey movie about an up and coming street magician who makes the more established acts look stale, were filmed on the Las Vegas Strip, including the now famous suspended, see-through box stunt that was filmed above Las Vegas Boulevard outside of Bally’s last year.

'The Hangover: Part 3' Goes to Tijuana. Or Does It?

March 11, 2013 at 2:35 PM | by | Comments (0)

Warner Bros. finally released the trailer for The Hangover Part III last week and it sees The Wolfpack return to Las Vegas, get chased through the desert, and end up in Mexico.

But just because the gang winds up in Mexico, doesn't mean they actually filmed there. Most of the Tijuana, Mexico in the movie scenes were actually filming in downtown Nogales, AZ, which was transformed to look like the the U.S./Mexico border.
