Author Topic: World Trade Centre Peter Berrett Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Victoria, Australia Registered: Nov 2000 posted 07-04-2006 05:23 AM                        Hi all This film hasn't opened yet but I have a question unrelated to a reveiw of the film which I would like an answer to. Is this a remake in any way of Towering Inferno? This question is asked in all seriousness as there must be a temptation to rework a lot of the old film's plot into the new film. I understand that Towering Inferno was actually filmed in the Twin Towers as well. Regards Peter  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

It is the story of two Port Authority officers who get trapped in the rubble after one of the towers collapses  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-05-2006 01:16 PM                        quote: Peter Berrett I understand that Towering Inferno was actually filmed in the Twin Towers as well. No... It was filmed entirely in California. Fox sound stages were used for the action scenes. Other scenes (lobby shots, office shots, etc.) were filmed in San Francisco, where the story takes place. A bank was used for exterior shots and a hotel was used for lobby scenes. Many of the firemen seen are real San Francisco firemen.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-05-2006 10:10 PM                        Edit: Moved to the actual review thread for this movie.  |  IP: Logged
