Where did they film (insert movie title)?
The Redwood Coast has a long association with Hollywood going back to the era of silent movies. But in more recent years, a number of high profile film projects have used our locations. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park was transformed into the forest moon of Endor in George Lucas’ Star Wars saga, Return of the Jedi . The Victorian Village of Ferndale has starred in two major motion pictures, Outbreak starring Dustin Hoffman and Morgan Freeman, and The Majestic starring Jim Carrey. And Steven Spielberg chose numerous Redwood Coast locations to portray a dinosaur-infested island in Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World . Patrick’s Point State Park was the setting where a motorhome gets pushed over a cliff; Fern Canyon was where a character gets pursued and devoured by a pack of little Compsygnathus dinosaurs, and private land in Fieldbrook hosted the famous Dinosaur Round-Up.
