Audiences have been mesmerised by the 3-D beauty of James Cameron’s latest blockbuster, which is nominated forBest Film…

Set on the pristine, forest-covered planet of Pandora, it’s thrilling to realise that, unlike its Na’vi inhabitants, the real place does exist — if a little less digitally enhanced. The stunning landscapes were shot on Kauai island, Hawaii…

This 552 sq mile island has all the requisites of paradise: palm trees, aquamarine sea, waterfalls, canyons, ravines, rainforest and dramatic cliffs. Go there and dream.

A Single Man - Los Angeles

Tom Ford’s acclaimed movie debut is shot in soft, muted, retro colour tones that bring its 1960s’ West Coast locations beautifully to life. The story of a gay man grieving over the loss of his lover features a flashback, in black and white, to a rocky beach that was filmed inland at Vasquez Rocks Park in Los Angeles County. The rock formations are part of the San Andreas fault. They have been used often for film and TV locations, including, most famously, Star Trek.

Inglourious Basterds  - Potsdam

Quentin Tarantino’s film about a Jewish attempt to assassinate the Nazi leadership in the Second World War was filmed at the legendary Babelsberg Studios, Potsdam, in Germany. Babelsberg is the world’s oldest large-scale film studio, where numerous classics, including The Blue Angel with Marlene Dietrich and Fritz Lang’sMetropolis, were filmed. Attractions at its “film park” include a stunt show and a TV studio where children can test their skills as a newsreader or cameraman.

Crazy Heart  - Santa Fe

Relive part of the movie while you ride horses, swim, play tennis or relax at the 450-acre Bishop’s Lodge Ranch, Resort & Spa where part of the film, which stars Jeff Bridges, was shot. The New Mexico town provides another interesting link to the Baftas tomorrow: Cormac McCarthy, who wrote the Pulitzer prize-winning novel upon which The Road (Best Cinematography) is based, lives here.

Up in the Air – United States

George Clooney is shortlisted for Best Leading Actor and Up in the Air is also a frontrunner for Best Film at the Baftas. You don’t need to spend as much time in the air as George Clooney does as he plays an emotionally washed-out character who travels across the US, but in real life, a US plane-hopping trip can be a lot of fun. ” (via  timesonline.co.uk)
