Somewhere in suburban Atlanta, a street was dressed for the 1980s to film David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street. Principal photography ran ten weeks across Atlanta, London and New Orleans, with Atlanta providing the suburban realism, London providing the soundstage interiors and the VFX infrastructure to put dinosaurs inside them, and New Orleans finishing the picture.

Director Evan Miller had a simple and uncompromising rule for his debut feature: film where the story actually happens.

The film was also shot in Wimberley, Texas, in winter 2024.

The Chain Bridge in Budapest was closed on February 9, 2025, while a stuntman hung from a helicopter above the Danube. Two weeks later, John Cena was posting Instagram videos from the streets of Casablanca. Two months after that, high-speed explosions were detonating on a sealed section of Slovakia's D1 motorway. Matchbox: The Movie – the Apple TV+ action comedy based on Mattel's toy car franchise, filmed across four countries in the first half of 2025.

No press release, no acknowledgement, not even a working title. And yet for months – from August 2025 to February 2026 – Greta Gerwig filmed one of the most ambitious productions in Netflix history across the streets of London, Manchester and Bradford.

Getting a film crew to Rapa Nui is not simple. The island sits more than 3,500 kilometres from mainland South America, accessible only by carefully coordinated flights. Cameras, props and period vehicles had to be transported from Santiago in advance. And once you arrive, you are filming next to some of the most culturally sensitive archaeological sites on earth. The production of Wild Horse Nine got there anyway. In early 2025, Easter Island became a film set.

New York, yellow taxis, NYPD vehicles, American flags. On the last weekend of July 2025, pedestrians walking down Bothwell Street in Glasgow could have been forgiven for thinking they had taken a very wrong turn. The city centre had been transformed, street by street, into a convincing approximation of Manhattan. Spider-Man was back. And he was in Scotland.

The story is set in Miami. The cameras were mostly in New Jersey. Netflix's 72 Hours – Kevin Hart's comedy about a 40-year-old executive accidentally added to a Gen Z bachelor party group chat – opens July 24, 2026, and pulls off a convincing geographic illusion. Filming ran from April through August 2025, across several New Jersey communities and a brief but essential stretch in actual Miami.
