Terminator & Indiana Jones Coming to NM

The latest Indiana Jones film is in Southern New Mexico near Roswell. Harrison Ford is said to look terrific. Nice to see a man age well!



"Love Ranch" has finished filming. Many New Mexicans were able to be extras when they filled the Tingley Auditorium for a seventies event. No shortage of old hippie and 70's outfits here!!



And the house just behind mine in High Desert that Kevin Costner just left reportedly now has Christain Bale here to make the latest installment of the "Terminator" film. He plays John Connor. This film will be called "Terminator Salvation: the Future" and will be the first of a trilogy. The filming begins in May and goes through August here in ABQ and up in Santa Fe. Production will be at our new ABQ Studios at Mesa Del Sol. The film is expected to employ more people than any other previously made in the state, according to Lisa Strout, the director of the NM Film Office. Warner Bros will release it in May, 2009. In the press release, the director, Joseph McGinty said NM has an arid look perfect for the American Gothic look or a post-nuclear dead world. What? Our enchanted state?? We beat out Budapest, Hungary!



The "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" pilot was shot here in ABQ too.



But, the real point is that my 'hood seems to be the place to be if you are here on location for the film. In addition to the house Christain will move into which was purportedly purchased by the studio, there are three other houses, beautiful houses, in the same area that are up for lease for housing of film bigwigs. Give me a call and I will arrange showings.
