El cine y Puerto Vallarta

     Ciertamente era inevitable que lugares pequeños como, Puerto Vallarta, fueran descubiertos tarde o temprano por las grandes masas. Tan encantadores, peculiares y tradicionales, estos parajes estaban destinados desde su creación a convertirse en un lugar de ensueño para los ricos y famosos, y finalmente, a ser compartidos con el mundo entero a través de la pantalla grande.

¿Sabes  cuántas cintas se han rodado en nuestra bella ciudad?

Desde que el legendario director John Houston descubrió el Puerto por primera vez en compañía de Elizabeth Taylor y Richard Burton para filmar “La Noche de la Iguana” en los años 60, este puerto sirvió de inspiración para futuras producciones cinematográficas debido a sus óptimas condiciones y atractivo estético. 

Desde entonces, diversas compañías como Disney, 20th Century Fox, Miramax, entre otras, han decidido rodar en nuestra ciudad y sus alrededores de la mano de directores como Quentin Tarantino y actores como Arnold Schwarzenegger para lograr filmes tales como “Kill Bill”, “Limitless”, “Depredador”, y muchas otras más.

En Puerto Vallarta se han filmado más de veinte producciones orientadas a ser éxitos taquilleros. 

Así fue como la fama ganada con la producción de ''La Noche de la Iguana'', hizo que Puerto Vallarta pasara de ser un pequeño pueblo pesquero, a un destino mundialmente conocido y una locación ideal para rodar largometrajes. 

Algunas de las cintas que se han filmado en Puerto Vallarta son:

• The Night of the Iguana 

• The Savage is Loose

• Le Magnifique 

• Swashbuckler

• The Domino Principle 

• Herbie Goes Bananas

• Caveman

• Down Twisted

• Firewalker 

• Predator 

• Revenge

• Gunmen

• Blind side

• Kiss me Goodbye

• Deadly swarm

• Puerto Vallarta Squeeze

• Kill Bill 2

• A Chihuahua in Beverly Hills 

• Dinoshark

• Sharktopus

• Dónde está Lupita, 

• Limitless

• Baño de Damas,

• Mar de Fondo
