David Hayman, the film's producer, explained his desire to shoot the film in Liverpool: “My mother is from Liverpool, and as a child, I often visited relatives in this city. The architecture of this place is perfect for showing 1920s New York. Besides, I know that in Liverpool we will always receive a warm welcome."

Jason Bourne (2016)
Location: London
To get into the atmosphere of the new film about the super spy Jason Bourne, you need a mere trifle - as soon as you land at London's main airport - Heathrow, take a train ticket to Woolwich - this is where the shooting of some scenes of the popular film took place. In the new film of the franchise, which turned Matt Damon into a real super spy, it was the Arsenal station at Woolwich that was used as one of the Athenian subway stations. The filmmakers only changed the signs and signs at the station so that everything looked exactly like in Athens, which, by the way, greatly surprised the locals, who did not even know about the filming of the film.
Rogue One. Star Wars Tales (2016)
Location: London
Not many people know that one of the lines of the London Underground - the Jubilee line, is associated with the Star Wars saga. The new spin-off, directed by Brit Gareth Edwards, features Canary Wharf Tube Station. However, the audience will not immediately be able to understand that the footage was filmed in the subway, since the station is used as … an orbital combat station "Death Star"! In the scene itself, the main character of the film, Felicity Jones, runs through the station, surrounded by stormtroopers and robots.
Canary Wharf is one of London's largest business hubs and is adjacent to the famous O2 Arena in North Greenwich, where fans can enjoy live shows from their favorite music artist.
