Star Trek Map Of The Stars

Star Trek Map Of The Stars You know those really cheesy celebrity maps that people sell on street corners in Hollywood? They list the places celebrities live so you can go and stand outside their well-guarded mansion and think, “Hey, someone I’ve seen on my moving picture box lives here!” It’s really pointless because no smart celebrity (minus Lindsay Lohan) would ever offer you even a glimpse into their home life, but people like the idea anyway.

Well, there’s officially a geek version. Wired.com has set up a Google map of several locations used during the filming of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek. And while the film gives you the distinct feeling of being trapped in space with black holes, tattoo-faced evil doers, and obnoxiously good looking people, the truth is that most of it was shot right around Los Angeles, which only consists of two of those things.

My personal favorite shooting location is definitely the parking lot of Dodger Stadium, where the entire drill platform scene was shot. The article states: "The Romulan bad guy’s weapon was built 16 feet above the ground and covered with a rubberized surface that allowed actors and stuntmen to fall hard without harm." As a diehard Dodger fan, I take pride in the fact that someone was able to defeat something in our stadium without Manny Ramirez.
