CELEBRITY Filming Locations – Manhattan, Atlantic City, Queens

No Comments

Celebrity remains Woody Allen’s most sprawling film. With over 200 speaking parts, it has so much going on that works together to paint a picture of fame. Along with the variety of characters and storylines comes a variety of locations. It’s still only New York or a couple of hours away – although Allen ventures as far as Atlantic City and Nyack.

Allen and the team picked some incredible locations. From an abandoned greenhouse used as a high class fashion catwalk with a stunning backdrop to funky Soho hangouts to shooting in the Empire State Building – Allen and his team showed many sides of New York.

As usual, there’s a few we don’t recognise. If you can help us, get in touch.

Here’s the filming locations for Celebrity.
