Movie Scene Map plots 13,312 films, series, games, anime and manga on a real-world atlas
Movie Scene Map – 13,312 films, series, games, anime and manga
Movie Scene Map is a free interactive atlas of 15,535 real filming locations across 166 countries, covering 9,262 films and series, plus 2,153 video games, 407 anime, and 366 manga placed by where their stories are set. Built entirely from Wikidata and Wikipedia data, it lets you pan and zoom to see what was shot where, from Game of Thrones castles to Breaking Bad streets. The dataset is downloadable as GeoJSON or CSV under CC0, and a read-only MCP endpoint answers these questions live for AI assistants.
A game is rendered and an anime or a manga is drawn, so none of them was filmed anywhere.

Kick ass, I really love this idea! It can bring a little bit of fun to wherever one travels :). Definitely several scenes I didn't realize I'll have to look out for on my regular work trips!
If I were to put in one feature request I'd say "a way to easily get to a page about the media". E.g. if I go to Cheyenne I see there was a TV show named Jericho and there are buttons/links which take me to pages about where this data came from, all of the locations it was filmed, the place itself on Wikipedia, and so on - but I have to initiate a manual search to find out anything about Jericho.
Or maybe there is a link already and I'm just an idiot :D.

Very cool, I've sent a couple of Star Wars fans out to Achill Island off the coast of Kerry as the location for the last Jedi. However due to very small footprint of the island and my zoom level another film was higher in the z-order, blocking out the other film pins, and it looked like there might be missing data.
That all said, it looks like they also filmed closer to my home which I probably would never have known about if not for this service. Nice work, nice design, slick UX and Interaction model. Well done!

How can I add more movies and their locations?
EDIT: Apparently here: https://moviescenemap.com/missing/

Nice work - the map UI is smooth and easy, sites are surprisingly accurate for single scenes. Can you partner with another database to really bulk this up? Possibly even grow it a little more with crowd-sourcing with verification. More notes about the scenes within the movie would be handy. Fan notes and threads could be a horrible idea I'd like to see. : ) I could see this being a good resource for scouts, fans, and others. I'd be down to help on this!

Great work. I feel like these 'consolidation of the internet into one specialist format' sites are one area where the non-corporate Internet can still flourish.
This is much less niche than my own project!
And there is still room for this to grow. I zoomed in on my home area and it is missing a fairly famous film (with a wikipedia page) that was filmed there.
