My girlfriend and I went to see "Death Sentence" last night. There were plenty of instances where we recognized that the movie was filmed in Columbia, so that was cool. The movie itself was okay, but not like I expected it to be based on the previews. It was action-packed, but also very dark. I am curious to know what others think.

I am also looking forward to the George Clooney and Renee Zellweger movie that was filmed in Greenville. Any idea of when it is supposed to be in theaters?

I will likely go see that tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the information about locations noticeably used in the movie.

Here is a photo from East Court Street taken during the filming of the Chicago scene:

Anyone know what is filming on Knox Abbott? The Silver City Comic Books store is made up to look like a 50s drive in and the parking lot is filled with 50s era cars. They have equipment trucks down Knox Abbott. They started yesterday morning and they wer still there this morning when I went by.

The Seattle Film Institute has been on a nationwide search for a second location and chose Greenville, naming the new location the Carolina Film Institute. Here is the article from the Greenville News:

The view of why Greenville was chosen by the institute was good to hear:

Film Institutes of America selected Greenville as the location for its first expansion after engaging in a nationwide evaluation. Greenville was selected for three main reasons. As a regional center, Greenville is within easy striking distance of an impressive list of cities including Atlanta, GA, Memphis, TN, Raleigh-Durham, NC, Charleston, SC, and Jacksonville, Fl. Greenville is also at the geographic center of states that have incredible incentive programs for filmmakers. Nationwide, it's hard to find incentive programs that are much better than those offered by South Carolina, North Carolina, and Louisiana. Finally, Greenville, SC was chosen as the location for Carolina Film Institute because of its cosmopolitan atmosphere and its livability-it's a true destination for students from both the region, across the United States or around the world
