"The Terminal"
Watched The Terminal on ABC last night. The opening shots were in the
now closed (to scheduled passenger flights) Mirabel Airport Terminal in Montreal. The next shots identified as the "In-Transit" lounge were in another terminal. Anyone know where? Or was this just a set? Thanks |

"The Terminal"
Or was this just a set?
It was mostly just a big working set. From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Terminal * Most exterior shots and those featuring actual aircraft were shot at Montréal-Mirabel International Airport: additional interior shots were also done there including the mezzanine overlooking the immigration desks and the baggage carrousels directly behind them, the jetways showing Aéroports de Montréal signs, and many Air Transat planes in the background, when New York is not one of their regular destinations. Additional pre-production shooting was done at Los Angeles International Airport and at Spielberg's offices at Amblin. Montreal is also mentioned on the loudspeaker at the beginning of the flim, about the point where the police officer tells Victor to wait in a special line. * Spielberg travelled around the world to find an actual airport that would let him film for the length of the production, but could not find one. The Terminal set was built in a massive hangar at the Palmdale Regional Airport. The hangar, part of the US Air Force Plant 42 complex was used to build the Rockwell International B-1B bomber. * The set was built to full earthquake construction codes and was based on the Düsseldorf International Airport. The shape of both the actual terminal and the set viewed sideways is a cross section of an aircraft wing. * Everything functioned in the set as in real life. There was real food, ice cream and coffee in the appropriate outlets. The escalators were purchased from a department store that went bankrupt. * The design of the Terminal set as noted by Roger Ebert in his reviews and attested by Spielberg himself in a feature by Empire magazine was greatly inspired by Jacques Tati's classic film Playtime.
