Georgia is becoming its own little Hollywood, or perhaps it already has been. We’ve been taking the movie scene by storm by having dozens of movies filmed right in our backyards! Can you guess what famous movies or shows were shot here? Here are our picks for some of the most notable Georgia places seen in movies:

1. Swan House in "The Hunger Games."

They shot the popular Hunger Games trilogy, in part, all throughout Atlanta. The "president's house" is actually the historic Swan House, built in 1928.
2. The Atlanta Motor Speedway was the site of the Quarter Quell Chariot Parade in "The Hunger Games."

3. Morris Brown College in "The Walking Dead."

The Walking Dead is a wildly popular show filmed almost entirely in Atlanta. This old, abandoned college was the site for a shot of an abandoned veterinary campus in season four.
4. Grantville, a small Georgia town in the northwest part of the state, was an ideal place to shoot much of the post-apocalyptic scenes in season three of "The Walking Dead."

This movie's "battle between the news stations" took place in Woodruff Park in downtown Atlanta. There are many shots where the Flatiron Building can be seen behind the actors. What is it that's so much fun about recognizing places in movies? We don't know, but it's pretty great.

Did you recognize any of these places? How many places throughout the state do you know of where they shot movies or TV? Let us know in the comments!
