Film & TV

Q: Why do I have a Film & TV page here?
A: The South Waterfront has hosted a number of movie, TV and commercial filming events in the neighborhood over the past few years. Many of you are interested and searching for this type of information. So here it is, a compilation of posts related to such things...Grimm, Leverage, and others.

I continue to post on the Portland filming locations for each episode of Grimm (even though they are beyond the South Waterfront), due to the high level of interest and excitement from all of you.

  1. Loving all the Grimm details. Looking for the location of the round house in The Three Little Pigs. It looks so familiar. Any ideas?

  5. I found it after some trawling around on Streetview. Wow...it certainly looks different to the house featured in Grimm! I wonder when that beautiful rhododendron bush got cut down? Hopefully not when the location scout found it! ;)

      Yes, I think you're close. The trailer is supposedly off Thurman by the Dockside Bar. Send me a photo if you find it!

  8. On the subject of filming in your area...we watched the movie "Spiral" last night...have you ever seen it? Quirky and intriguing little indie movie starring Joel David Moore and Zachary Levi...all shot on location in Portland. :)

  12. I am arriving in Portland on July 24th. I'm coming to visit the amazing locations I've only read about. I'm also hoping to visit locations where Grimm is filmed. What are the odds of actually seeing them shooting or seeing the actors? I love Grimm and can't wait to see Portland. Thank you for any help.
