Out Islands of the Bahamas are Popular Movie Filming Locations

The Out Islands have long been attracting producers to film their movies on these tropical island locations. Movie blockbusters such as Al Pacino's "The Insider" and Pirates of the Caribbean II & III shot part of their movies on The Out Islands.

“The Bahamas offers a variety of location options to satisfy the most challenging film projects, from steamy jungles, to mangrove swamps, to great gingerbread houses and tantalizing Victorian and Georgian Architecture.” said Craig Woods, Commissioner of the Bahamas Film and Television Commission. “The Bahamas is a film-friendly location with trained Bahamian crew who have worked on both large scale studio films as well as small independent productions. With the closest island, Bimini, only 50 miles from South Florida, or 2 hours by fast boat, The Bahamas provide the "HOT" look motion picture productions want."

Upcoming blockbusters that are using The Out Islands as their movie filming location are: “Matrimonio alle Bahamas" starring Massimo Boldi and "Fool's Gold" starring Matthew McConaughey, Kate Hudson and Donald Sutherland.
