The 2009 action movie, The Ultimatum, starring Matt Damon and Joan Allen, has been a memorable success for fans of the genre. Directed by Paul Greengrass and set in the United Kingdom, viewers have often wondered where the film was shot. While some scenes were filmed on sets in England, many of them were shot elsewhere. This article will explore the locations around the world which were used to film The Ultimatum.
The Ultimatum.
The movie The Ultimatum is one of the most iconic and beloved films of all time. Directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1979, it tells the story of two men who are forced to put aside their differences in order to negotiate a peace treaty between their respective countries. It stars Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman as the two leads, who both give powerful performances that still resonate today.
Where did they film The Ultimatum? Most of the scenes were shot on location in New York City, including Central Park and Grand Central Station. Other locations included Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, Nice, Monaco and London. These real-life settings added another layer to the realism of the story and helped bring it to life on screen making it even more impactful for viewers.

Filming Locations: London & Scotland.
When it comes to filming locations, some of the most iconic pairings are London and Scotland. For example, the 2009 British action thriller “The Ultimatum” was filmed in both these countries. The movie follows a secret agent assigned with tracking down a terrorist cell before an ultimatum is issued which could have devastating consequences for British citizens.
The majority of the movie was filmed in London and its surroundings. Locations include Arboretum Street in Nottingham, Covent Garden Market, Old Street Tube Station and Southbank area near the River Thames.
Scotland was also used as a filming location for some scenes of this movie: parts of Edinburgh such as Victoria Street and Stirling Castle were utilized to give viewers extra insight into the story’s background. Filming also took place in other Scottish towns such as Glasgow and Falkirk near Stirling Castle.
Cast & Crew: Actors & Production Team.
The cast and crew of the movie “The Ultimatum” was made up of some of the most talented and experienced actors and production team in the industry. The production team worked hard to bring this story to life, which included finding and securing locations for filming.
This posed a unique challenge as they had to find locations that fit the idea described in the script. After much consideration, it was decided that the majority of filming would take place in downtown Los Angeles, California. Other locations included San Francisco, Nevada, and Chicago.
The cast of “The Ultimatum” included seasoned professionals such as Kevon Thomas, who played one of the lead characters, Emily Johnson, who portrayed Kevon’s love interest, Bria Bell who played his daughter, and finally Jonathon Collier as another key character on screen.
Behind the Scenes: Set Design, Script & Direction.
Filming the movie “The Ultimatum” was a monumental task and required a great deal of time and effort to achieve all that the leaders wanted. It was filmed in various countries, including Morocco, Japan, France and Belgium. One of the most interesting locations chosen for this film was Morocco.
This is because it provided an exotic backdrop for some very intense scenes in which the protagonists were struggling with their fate. In addition to this, it allowed for more creative freedom when constructing sets and designing costumes as well as creating intricate fights scenes that really captured the essence of action films.
On top of these varied locations, special attention was given to set design, script and direction during filming. Every scene had its own unique style which helped bring out certain moments better than any other method could have done alone.
Challenges Faced: Weather Effects, Logistics & Budget.
The last big motion picture of the decade was the Ultimatum, filmed in 2009. Producing a movie requires much planning and preparation regardless of budget or production timeline. The challenges for this particular movie were especially difficult due to weather effects, logistics and budget constraints.
Weather is unpredictable, making it hard to plan shooting dates around good weather conditions. In this case, rain kept delaying their shooting schedule while they were filming exteriors in Scotland. As a result, the production team was forced to come up with creative ways to make progress without having perfect conditions outside which included adjusting scenes or using different equipment setups that allowed them to shoot indoors instead.
Impact on Local Communities: Employment Opportunities.
When it comes to employment opportunities, local communities can be greatly impacted by the presence of film production. Recently, I had the opportunity to witness this firsthand when my hometown served as the filming location for a major motion picture entitled “The Ultimatum”.
The movie was filmed largely on-location in our small town and provided much-needed job opportunities for residents. This included positions such as production assistants, set design and construction workers, camera operators, script supervisors and many more.
The impact of this movie’s production on our local economy was substantial. Not only did it provide hundreds of high paying jobs for locals that would have otherwise been unavailable due to the small size of our community, but also created a boost in tourism revenue as people traveled to visit locations featured in the movie.
Conclusion:
A Successful Production.
I am a highly experienced film and media person who has a great deal to offer to like-minded individuals. Currently working on several exciting projects, I am a film and media practitioner for over a decade. I have achieved a great deal of success in my professional career.
