.....and Action

Not the image you think of when you think of New Mexico. But that's the point. New Mexico is a state of contrasts. From the mountains of North Central New Mexico, to the desert of Whitesands, New Mexico has everything but ocean front. From the famed or infamous, depending to who you talk to, Area 51 near Roswell, or the Pueblos still inhabited for over a 1,000 years, or the artist communities of Taos, to the oldest capital in the county - Santa Fe will celebrate 400 years in 2010, New Mexico has a little bit of something for everyone. New Mexico lives up to its nickname
“The Land of Enchantment” thanks to its wondrous natural beauty and a lively culture built by waves of Native American, Latin and European inhabitants.

And Hollywood has noticed as well. Film making has been happening in New Mexico for over 100 years. With gorgeous natural beauty, great locations, a non-working prison set and Garson Studios, with two soundstages, you can see why Brothers chose to New Mexico for production. But many other movies you know have to: Easy Rider, Twins, The Milagro Beanfield War, Billy Jack, Independence Day, Last Man Standing, Last Stand at Saber River, Wild Wild West, All The Pretty Horses, The Lazarus Man, Earth 2, The Cowboy Way, Natural Born Killers, Wyatt Earp, White Sands, City Slickers, The Missing, North Country, Into the West, Comanche Moon, No Country for Old Men, Wild Hogs, 3:10 to Yuma, even Oklahoma! has parts filmed here. It looks like Brothers has some great company.

Today starts the first day of shooting. Here's to a great film experience and good times with friends like Natalie and Tobey for Jake.
