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.
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.
Leap of Faith turned Plainview into Rustwater, Kansas, and the name stayed up for 24 years.
Plainview played Rustwater, Kansas for eleven shooting days in 1992, after two months of preparation, and the water tower kept the fictional name until 2016.
