You might think that the producer and director of Big Little Lies would know exactly where to look to film HBO’s new hit series Big Little Lies. But it turns out that Jean-Marc Vallée had never been to California’s stunning central coast when he and the HBO’s series’ producer and locations manager Gregory Alpert set off on their first scouting trip. Writer-producer David E. Kelley, who adapted the Australia-based novel, selected Monterey as the setting because of its physical beauty, demographic mix, and proximity to Silicon Valley. But it was the coastline’s ruggedness and power that sold Vallée, who was

Viewers may have tuned in to Sunday’s premiere of Big Little Lies on HBO for the all-star cast, which includes Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, and Shailene Woodley, but the series’ surprise breakout isn’t a character, it’s the stunning settings.
The show, based on Australian writer Liane Moriarty’s bestseller, is set on California’s picturesque Monterey Peninsula, and the well-to-do characters, including Witherspoon’s professional pot stirrer, Madeline Martha Mackenzie, Kidman’s lawyer-turned-mom, Celeste Wright, and Laura Dern‘s high-powered exec, Renata Klein, have a truly stunning real estate portfolio between them.

He’s photographed naked women for Roger Corman, made a movie called Mutant Vampire Zombies from the Hood!, helmed an Asylum mockbuster that spawned a major studio lawsuit, nearly made a mega blockbuster for a major studio, and, best of all, his name really is Thunder.
With The Asylum’s lawsuit-inspiring mockbuster American Warships premiering on Syfy this weekend (May 19th at 9/8 Central) and hitting DVD shelves next week (May 22nd), I chatted with its writer-director, Thunder Levin, about the trials and tribulations of making an Asylum mockbuster, graduating from the school of Corman, and navigating the pitfalls of the b-movie scene filmmaking.
Foy: Forgive me. I have to ask a question you’ve no doubt been asked many times before. Your first name is really Thunder? That’s not just a nickname?
Thunder: (sigh) Yeah, I’ve been asked that a few times before. Yes, Thunder is my real name.

The location managers behind Stage 6/Screen Gem's "Fired Up" and Universal/Imagine's "Frost/Nixon" tied for location manager of the year while the location team behind DreamWorks' "Eagle Eye" took location team of the year, two of the top prizes at Sunday's 14th annual California On Location Awards.
The television side also saw a tie, in the category location team for episodic. CBS' "NCIS" shared the prize with Fox's "24," a production cited for "blowing up neighborhoods and making the neighbors like it," in the words of master of ceremonies Fred Willard.
