Interesting thing, Ive never noticed that, I wonder how the crew worked in those films, I know that the worst places to film are cemeteries and hospitals. Everyone is in a very bad humour, it makes you feel sick.
Yeah...Highgate cemetery has become yet another tourist attraction which means a cemetery that should be free for all to visit now charges an entry fee.
Funny you should mention Highgate Lesley, i've always been fascinated by the thought of that cemetery, i've always wanted to have a look round, but sadly now, it's only by tours that you can visit highgate, you use to be able to go there and look at the famous graves, and it's got a reputation of being haunted which i love, talk about people cashing in on things like that, they have spoilt the beauty of it, now that you have to pay to have a guided tour of walking around the cemetery
Cemeteries also feature in 8MM, Red Rock West, Zandalee and The Wicker Man!
I know Nic likes cemeteries...he was photographed a Coppola years ago during a walking tour around a cemetery...New Orleans I think it was????
Yet another Nic connection for me because I'm with you Kim...cemeteries don't freak me out at all...I look upon them as peaceful parks! We have some very famous, old gothic cemeteries in London...Highgate and Nunhead to name but two...and I bet Nic would love to walk around those!
That's quite interesting, i've never really looked at it that way, i mean the cemeteries in the films, you don't realise it until you see quite a few of his films, if there is a sort of liking to cemeteries, funny though, i don't dislike cemeteries at all, i find them peaceful, sad and interesting in a way and i like reading the gravestones as well, i'm not morbid just weird...
I remember reading earlier about how there seemed to be a lot of mirrors in Nic films and it got me thinking. I noticed that quite a few of his films have cemeteries in them.
Face/Off - shooting toward the end. Windtalkers - battlefield graves. Ghost Riders - outside the caretaker's shack. National Treasure - inside the catacombs.
Don't know what to make of that. Just thought that it was interesting, seeing that there are a lot of other non-Nic movies out there that have cemetery settings, but they are usually put in for commemorative purposes, when characters go to visit someone they know. The appearence of cemeteries in the above mentioned films seem to be more random.
