Who could forget \u201cBull Durham\u201d with its central setting, Durham Athletic Park, the famous scenes of Chimney Rock in \u201cThe Last of the Mohicans,\u201d and the atmospheric \u201cDirty Dancing\u201d backdrop of Lake Lure?<\/span><\/p>\n

For travel lovers, cinephiles, and TV fiends alike, visiting fictional locations featured in movies and television is a blast. Joining many famed on-screen regions, North Carolina<\/a><\/strong> offers exceptional backdrops with its mountains and ocean shoreline.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the North Carolina Film Office, \u201cNorth Carolina is world-renowned as a film-friendly state with minimal permitting and ready assistance throughout your production.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You may be surprised at just how many iconic shots from TV and film originated in North Carolina. Heading to the Tar Heel State in the future? Consider stopping by some of these gems throughout the state that brought life to beloved films and shows, past and present.<\/p>\n

Modern Blockbusters Filmed in North Carolina<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Hunger Games\u201d<\/h3>\n

DuPont State Recreational Forest
Historic Henry River Mill Village<\/h4>\n

In the first installment of the \u201cHunger Games\u201d film franchise, DuPont State Recreational Forest<\/a><\/strong> became the Panem wilderness where Katniss Everdeen is tasked to survive a fight to the death among two dozen total tributes. The forest includes the pond where Katniss finds a camouflaged Peeta, alongside Triple Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and the covered bridge at High Falls.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/div>\n

Halfway between Charlotte and Asheville is <\/span>Historic Henry River Mill Village<\/a><\/strong>, also known as District 12, home to Katniss and Peeta. Among the many defining structures that shaped the setting for the big screen, the village Company Store served as the Mellark family\u2019s bakery. On organized tours, a guide will take you into the Everdeen\u2019s home, where Katniss awakes at the beginning\u00a0 before the reaping scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also learn about this textile mill village, built in 1905 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bonus:<\/strong> DuPont State Recreational Forest was also used in the filming of \u201cThe Last of the Mohicans.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri\u201d<\/h3>\n

Sylva, NC<\/h4>\n

With a population of less than 3,000, <\/span>Sylva<\/a> <\/strong>was the memorable filming site for \u201cThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.\u201d Released in 2017 and taking home the Oscar for Best Picture the following year, this crime thriller prominently showcases downtown, including the Jackson County Courthouse.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was incredibly kind and a pleasure to work with,\u201d said Nick Breedlove, Jackson County\u2019s director of tourism. \u201cInitially, we assumed it would be a small production, but as truck after truck rolled in with equipment, it quickly became apparent that this was a much bigger operation than we had imagined.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding Ebbing<\/h4>\n

\u201cPeople still show up looking for Ebbing. They\u2019ll be walking along West Main Street, then stop in front of the old police station because something looks familiar. That\u2019s the building Mildred (Frances McDormand) firebombs in the movie. There\u2019s no plaque, no big sign.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, tourists find it on their own, Breedlove said, and you can watch the moment it clicks in their heads.<\/p>\n

\u201cNearly a decade after filming, folks are still making the trip, and they leave having eaten at our restaurants and spent a night or two; a good movie continues to drive people to the places it was filmed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Bonus:<\/strong> The pivotal scene in \u201cThe Fugitive,\u201d starring Harrison Ford \u2014 when the train strikes the prison bus \u2014 is set just outside Sylva. The wreckage is still there and can be seen while riding the <\/span>Great Smoky Mountains Railroad<\/a><\/strong>, boarding in Bryson City.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Most Famous North Carolina Filming Locations<\/h2>\n

Biltmore Estate \u2013 Asheville, NC<\/h3>\n

Dating back to 1956, Asheville<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s most popular attraction, <\/span>Biltmore<\/a><\/strong>, plays center stage in a series of movies shot on the estate and in the acres of virgin forest surrounding the mansion<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Swan,\u201d starring Grace Kelly, was the first movie filmed here. The latest, \u201cA Biltmore Christmas,\u201d was filmed in 2023<\/span><\/p>\n

The 1994 film \u201cRichie Rich,\u201d featuring a young Macaulay Culkin, shows much of the Biltmore interior. Many filmmakers take advantage of the estate\u2019s 8,000 acres, including formal gardens, nature trails, the French Broad River, Deer Park, and woodlands.<\/span><\/p>\n

The list goes on: \u201cForest Gump,\u201d \u201cThe Last of the Mohicans,\u201d and \u201cPatch Adams\u201d all filmed scenes here.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wilmington, NC<\/h3>\n

\u201c<\/span>Wilmington<\/a><\/strong> is a great place to shoot for multiple reasons,\u201d said Johnny Griffin, director of the Wilmington Regional Film Commission, Inc. \u201cIt has the generic look of \u2018any town USA,\u2019 a mild climate, extensive world-class crew, and state-of-the-art soundstages. We offer a great quality of life, a 25% NC Film Grant program, and a 40-year history of working with productions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Touring Wilmington<\/h4>\n

But that only scrapes the surface.<\/p>\n

\u201cCinespace Studios is a premier operator of production facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Toronto and Wilmington; another reason filming here is so popular,\u201d said Hannah Almeter, PR senior at Wilmington Communications. \u201cOne of the best ways to discover filming locations in downtown Wilmington along the Cape Fear River is to take the <\/span>Wilmywood Movie & TV Location Tour<\/a><\/strong>.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to John Hirchak, the tour business co-owner, the experience is made to be informative, fun, and comes with a \u201chuge \u2018wow\u2019 factor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do a lot of name-dropping, and our credit list is huge, so we have plenty to cover. Guests are usually blown away by the volume of things shot here, especially as we are a small city,\u201d he added, describing the tour as 90 to 100 minutes of \u201c<\/span>action-packed adventure through America\u2019s largest living film set.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Guests can see actual film locations and set pieces, sometimes complemented by behind-the-scenes stories from filming. \u201cDivine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood,\u201d \u201cDomestic Disturbance,\u201d and \u201cWeekend at Bernie\u2019s\u201d are just a few of the many films the tour has featured.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe show active locations, or locations in upcoming releases, provided they are within walking distance,\u201d Hirchak said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another way to tour the downtown area is <\/span>Springbrook Farms<\/a><\/strong> horse-drawn tours. Rescue horses plod along city streets as the guide points out different filming locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Airlie Gardens \u2013 Wilmington, NC<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re looking for one of the most popular filming locations from box office movies and top-rated TV shows, head to <\/span>Airlie Gardens<\/a><\/strong>. Here, you\u2019ll discover film locations featured in \u201cKing Kong Lives,\u201d Nicholas Sparks\u2019 \u201cThe Choice,\u201d \u201cBlack Knight,\u201d the \u201cSleepy Hollow\u201d and \u201cDawson\u2019s Creek\u201d TV series, and many more<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilmington on Screen: The List Goes On<\/h4>\n

The list of movies and television shows filmed here is extensive. Over the past four years, several productions have been filmed in and around Wilmington, including \u201cMerv,\u201d \u201cThe Confession,\u201d \u201cBoys of Summer,\u201d \u201cThe Supremes at Earl\u2019s All-You-Can-Eat,\u201d \u201cEric LaRue,\u201d \u201cAlong for the Ride,\u201d and \u201cScream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Other films include \u201cIron Man 3,\u201d \u201cI Know What You Did Last Summer,\u201d \u201cSleeping with the Enemy,\u201d and \u201cThe Secret Life of Bees,\u201d but the entire list is far longer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent Productions<\/h4>\n

Dubbed \u201cHollywood East\u201d and \u201cWilmywood\u201d over the years, Wilmington has become a hub for <\/span>set-jetting<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> the popular trend of visiting the real-life locations from popular movies and TV shows like \u201cOne Tree Hill,\u201d \u201cDawson\u2019s Creek,\u201d and \u201cThe Runarounds.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe destination \u2014 with over 400 credits to its name \u2014 also serves as the backdrop for \u2018The Summer I Turned Pretty\u2019 series, which is currently filming its latest film installment that continues Belly and Conrad\u2019s love story,\u201d Almeter said, nodding to two other recent additions: the series \u201cR.J. Decker,\u201d which premiered in March 2026, and the film \u201cDriver\u2019s Ed,\u201d released on May 15 of this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a seaside state park to picturesque Southern gardens, local landmarks have been transformed into the settings of classic productions.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Other On-Screen Locations in North Carolina<\/h3>\n

Charlotte, NC<\/h4>\n

\u201cTalladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Days of Thunder\u201d took advantage of <\/span>Charlotte<\/a><\/strong>\u2018s NASCAR spirit and tradition, highlighting the sport\u2019s enthusiasm. Film sequences were shot at Charlotte Motor Speedway, Rockingham Speedway, and Ricky Bobby\u2019s (Will Ferrell) mansion near Lake Norman.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another award-winning movie, \u201cThe Eyes of Tammy Faye,\u201d was filmed in and around Charlotte. Jessica Chastain won the Academy Award, SAG, and Critics\u2019 Choice Awards for Best Actress for her performance in the film\u2019s titular role. Several carefully selected city scenes portray the community 40 years ago, when the PTL (Praise the Lord) Club moved to Charlotte.<\/span><\/p>\n

Raleigh, NC<\/h4>\n

Movies filmed in and near <\/span>Raleigh<\/a><\/strong> include \u201cBull Durham\u201d and \u201cJunebug,\u201d both set in rural Chapel Hill. \u201cPatch Adams\u201d was partly filmed at the North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Southport, NC<\/h4>\n

Less than an hour south of Wilmington is the historic community of Southport, founded in 1792. With only around 4,000 residents, it served as the perfect backdrop for several movies, including Nicolas Sparks\u2019 adaptations of \u201cSafe Haven\u201d and \u201cA Walk to Remember,\u201d \u201cThe Secret Life of Bees,\u201d and \u201cUnder The Dome.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
