Many movies don’t want to limit their filming to just a studio. A lot of movies really choose real places to film in. Boston has been featured in many movies over the years.
We are here to show you some of the most star-studded movies that shot scenes in Boston!
The Social Network (2010)
If you want to know the origin story of Facebook, then you should watch The Social Network. As many of you might know, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg spent time studying at Harvard University but the movie wasn’t really allowed to film in the Ivy League school.
Wheelock College was basically “Harvard” in some parts of the movie. Other Massachusetts locations they filmed in were Community Rowing Inc., Milton Academy, and Phillips Academy.

Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)
Actor Kevin James starred in the comedy, Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The movie was set in New Jersey but most of it was really filmed in Boston. The mall in the movie was Burlington Mall. Shooting in such a public place like a mall can be tricky since many people might be taking photos or videos.

Thankfully, the movie didn’t encounter any problems because they filmed at night when the mall was closed to the public. Other scenes were filmed in Braintree’s South Shore Plaza.
