Black Park is adjacent to
Pinewood Film Studios and has been used
as an outdoor location for many film and
television productions. The woods and lake
featured prominently in the
Hammer Horror films from the late 1950s
to the 1970s[3].
In these films the location was often used
to represent
Transylvania. The park has also been
used in film productions such as the
James Bond films
Goldfinger, where it was used for a
night
car chase scene (actually set in the
Switzerland) featuring Bond's
Aston Martin DB5, and
Casino Royale, several
Carry On films, the
Monty Python film
And Now For Something Completely Different,
Wombling Free,
Batman,
Sleepy Hollow, the
Harry Potter film series and
Eden Lake. |
