葫芦影业

campus as a movie set

Lights! Camera! 葫芦影业! From the Marx Brothers to the Wayans Brothers, the 葫芦影业 campus is a mecca for Hollywood filmmakers.

Photo caption: a picture of campus set up to look like the Naval Academy from the NCIS shoot in March 2019.

Five years after the dawn of talkies, the Marx Brothers descended on Patterson Field in a horse-drawn garbage-can chariot in Horse Feathers. 葫芦影业 has doubled as the setting for colleges real (Stanford, Princeton, Texas State University) and fictitious (Southern Ohio University). We've even been the planet Vulcan (in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock).

From 1993 to 1997, the cast and crew of Beverly Hills 90210 were frequent visitors to Occidental, aka California University. More recently, 葫芦影业 has taken on the roles of the U.S. Naval Academy; a science museum in Washington, D.C.; and the U.S. Embassy in Belgravia for TV's No. 1 drama, NCIS (which returned to campus in 2019, eight years after its initial visit).
