In a behind-the-scenes look at the “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” Georgia’s board of film and music released a featurette that showed how some of New York City’s landmarks were recreated in Georgia’s Trilith Studios.
“You won’t know it’s not in New York when you see it,” said producer Amy Pascal in the video.
Using blue screens, intricate set designs and special effects, Trilith studios brings New York City to Georgia in Marvel’s latest film. The featurette shows the level of machinery and production design needed to achieve this feat.
Closing out the Homecoming trilogy, No Way Home filmed classroom scenes in Frederick Douglass High School and Midtown High School. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the Atlanta Public School System had barred people from entering schools, with the cast and crew of Spider-Man being a notable exception. Since the previous Spider-Man movies had been filmed using Frederick Douglass and Midtown High Schools as sets, the production was able to get special permission from the Atlanta Public Schools to continue for “No Way Home.”
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is the first movie to surpass $1 billion in the box office since 2019 and breaks records as Sony’s highest-grossing film. The movie shows a high level of success, as people begin to head to the theater in numbers seen before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Formerly known as Pinewood Studios, Trilith Studios is North America’s second-largest production studio, Urbanize Atlanta reported. “Spider-Man: No Way Home” marks the eighth movie in the Marvel franchise and the second Spider-Man movie to be produced in the studio. Located in Fayetteville, Georgia Trilith Studios has 24 different sound stages and is 1.2 million square feet.
