Although the \u201cHeart of Dixie\u201d state is over 2000 miles away from Hollywood, and what feels like one million miles away when it comes to the types of worlds the states exist in, there are quite a few reasons why many movies, whether it’s in part or as a whole, have been shot in the state known for its Southern hospitality.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Alabama was the site for various important moments in history, many of them tying into the Civil Rights Movement from 1954-1968, such the Rosa Parks Museum and Martin Luther King Jr.’s church. The first rocket to go to the moon was built in Huntsville and the first electronic trolley system ran in Montgomery in 1886.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And contrary to what you might think, it was actually Mobile, Alabama that first brought Mardi Gras to the United States, not New Orleans. And the Yellowhammer State only needs its own natural resources to produce iron and steel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Not only are there beneficial incentives offered for movie studios to come into Alabama, but the twenty-fourth most populous state really has it all, from open beaches to bustling cities; chances are, if you are searching for a certain \u201clook\u201d for a shot, there’s a spot in Alabama that has it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This is why, for some movies, it\u2019s rather obvious or expected that there were scenes filmed there, such as 2014\u2019s historical drama, Selma, which focuses on the voting rights marches along the 54-mile route from Selma to Montgomery in 1965.<\/p>\r\n
