More and more movies are being made in New Jersey thanks to recent tax breaks. That means more and more movie stars will be seen hanging around and filming in the Garden State. Some of the biggest stars of the movie could actually be the Garden State itself. Get ready to start seeing familiar places in pictures.
New Jersey already provides most scenery for “Walking Dead; Dead City”. Having read Dino Flamia’s post, I started thinking about the many New Jersey locations that would make great movie backdrops. Here are a few that we came up with:
