The Texas Round-Up
Notes from working in Texas film.
The Best Performing Movies Shot in Texas; just the numbers.
Shot in Texas: the 50 ranks every feature with more than half its principal photography in Texas by worldwide gross, counting down from 50 to 1 through August 2027.
The Alamo built the largest film set in North America outside Austin, and then lost the release.
Fifty-one acres and seventy structures near Dripping Springs, a January to June 2003 shoot, and what the record actually says about why the picture did not find its audience.
Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino ran two features through one Austin studio in five months.
Planet Terror and Death Proof were shot back to back at Troublemaker Studios in 2006. The locations, the dates, and the one sequence that had to leave Texas.
