It will be a proud and exciting moment when Hollywood choose Malaysia as film location. Most of us will remember the Entrapment starring Sean Connery and Catherine Zeta Jones. Film like this is the best because many of the scenes featuring Malaysia recognizable landmark like The Petronas Twin Towers and Malaysia LRT.
Other that Entrapment, I think International movies that we can remember is Anna & The King, shot somewhere in Perak. Jackie Chan film Police Story 3: Super Cop, few others Hong Kong movies, Bollywood like Yaadein and Don 2.
In the News here, and International Independent film has chosen Malaysia’s natural forest environment and heritage buildings for his movie Against The Wind, to be released in 2012.
Another notable movie was the oscar award winner ‘Indochine’ that had many scenes shot inside Cheong Tze Fatt Mansion (The Blue Mansion) in Penang. It was starring French Actress Catherine Deneuve & it is still a boon for tourists wanting to visit this glorious Georgetown Mansion on Leith Street.
