Six random films with the same backdrop: Dallas.
The past, present and future have all been brought to life in and around the Dallas area. We’ve seen the State Fair of Texas reimagined as a musical and Dallas City Hall reimagined as a futuristic backdrop for destruction. Directors Oliver Stone, David Lowery, and Wes Anderson saw plenty of potential in all that Dallas had to offer. Here’s a running filmography of others that have chosen Dallas for film, TV and web series.
With ReelFX Animation Studios leading the charge, Dallas once again found its placement as a serious setting for premier creative projects like full-length animated films. Hollywood studios would lean on ReelFX for film, TV and commercial work after its successes with productions like 2013’s Free Birds and 2014’s The Book of Life.
“Who shot JR” are words that were heard around the world. The “Dallas” television series transported millions to Dallas every week. The show chronicled the exploits of wealthy Texas oil millionaires. Over forty years later, international travelers still visit Southfork Ranch, the home of JR, Bobby and Sue Ellen, to catch a glimpse of where the drama took place.
