I love learning about where films were made. Wondering about some of the 2010 Predators filming locations? You probably already know that Dripping Springs is one of the coolest small towns in Texas. After all, it’s home to Hamilton Pool, which is among the most popular swimming holes in the state. What you may not be aware of, however, is that Hamilton Pool (and therefore Dripping Springs) was one of the filming locations for the iconic 2010 movie Predators. Learn more about the film (and which scenes were shot there) below:
When you visit the small town of Dripping Springs and see its humble City Hall building and quaint town square, you'll find it hard to believe that anything big could've happened here.
But that couldn't be any further from the truth. If you ever wondered or anyone has ever asked where was Predators filmed for many parts, know that it was actually in Dripping Springs! Parts of the successful 2010 film were done here and we're going to show you the sites where it all went down.
Predators stars Adrian Brody, Laurence Fishburne, Walton Goggins, Alice Braga, and Topher Grace.
Action-packed from beginning to end, the movie pits humans against the alien race on a foreign planet that acts as a warzone for the two tribes. So, what Predators filming locations were in Dripping Springs? Well...
Formed thousands of years ago by the collapse of an underground river, this stunning grotto has been a favorite among locals and tourists alike since the 1960s.
What most people don't know about Hamilton Pool is that it served as one of the filming locations for Nimród Antal's Predators, a 20th Century Fox film that grossed nearly $130 million.
The scene in which the characters emerge from a pool of water was shot here. The landscape here can only be described as otherworldly, so it's befitting for an alien movie and a fun fact when it comes to where was the movie Predators filmed.
Canyon Lake Gorge and McKinney Falls State Park were also Predators filming locations.
