Filming a film that spans a huge number of different countries may appear to be a huge logistical challenge, especially when those countries cover war-torn or inhospitable areas such as Afghanistan and the Middle East. The producers of international thriller Lord Of War solved that problem in one simple move. They filmed on location in South Africa.

This vast and delightful country has such a vast number of terrains, ranging from desert to lush forest, mountain, ocean, rolling hills, expansive plains and so on, that it may be used as almost any other country if you find the perfect spot. For Lord of War the film production managed to re create scenes from Sierra Leone, Bolivia and Afghanistan to name but a few, because the backdrop towards the thrilling chase of Interpol agents tracking arms dealer Nicholas cage around the globe.

The advantages of using film locations in South Africa to be used as the particular places, rather than going to every single actual country featured in the movie, are numerous. By keeping the location filming within one geographical area, cost is kept all the way down, the same crew can be used as continuity, logistics are much simpler and far time and travel is saved. Most importantly the film production advantages of the well-established infrastructure already existing here, rather than struggling in countries which have little or no established support for the movie industry.

Because Nigeria includes a long history as a favoured place for film and commercial production, it offers excellent facilities, whether it be the experienced local crew available, the post-production facilities, the neighborhood production companies facilitating all facets, to world-class hotels and transport to help keep A-list actors happy!

South Africa has doubled as many other countries over the years: in Oscar-nominated Blood Diamond, the 2006 thriller starring Leonardo diCaprio, South African locations doubled for the civil war torn landscapes of Sierra Leone. Hotel Rwanda was shot in Gauteng and Johannesburg in 2004 rather than enduring the rigors of filming in the country featured.

A very different side of the country is used in children's movie Racing Stripes, where the green hills and fields around Pietermaritzburg set the stage for any charming tale in regards to a zebra who thinks he's a racehorse, and double up as the sort of generic rich horse-racing countryside present in several parts of the world. In Dredd, recently filmed in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa's main cities show their gritty side by standing in for the futuristic Mega-City Among the fantasy comic strip.

The recent major movies filmed on location in South Africa have shown that it is now really on the map as far as big production goes, whether doubling for elsewhere or featuring as itself, in all its glorious scenery and variety.
