Hyatt Regency Houston Makes It Easy to Tour Hollywood Film Locations with Addresses, Directions

Houston, TX, July 14, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Did you know that some of Hollywood’s most memorable movies, including the 1983 Best Picture winner Terms of Endearment, have been filmed in Houston? Finding these film locations is easy when you visit the Concierge Desk at Hyatt Regency Houston. Simply ask for the Hollywood Houston Tour, a complimentary and easy-to-follow list of directions as well as addresses for your car’s navigation system.

Hollywood director and Houston native Wes Anderson chose St. John’s School -- his very own high school -- as the backdrop for the fictional prep school in his 1998 movie Rushmore starring Bill Murray. Movie buffs can also visit the house where Aurora lived in Terms of Endearment or recreate the lunch scene between Aurora (played by Shirley MacLaine) and Garrett (Jack Nicholson) at Brennan’s restaurant.

Brad Pitt and Sean Penn caused quite a stir in 2008 when they were seen shooting scenes in downtown Houston for their soon-to-be-released movie The Tree of Life, which is now in post-production.

Hyatt’s Concierge team will update the list of filming locations as new movies such as The Tree of Life are released.
