Everybody's favorite nuclear disaster site, <b>Chernobyl</b>, is the new hot spot for a Hollywood movie.
<br>
<br><a href="http://imdb.com/title/tt0411805/">Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis</a> is filming there. While, unfortunately, no huge scenes are filmed there, the site is still being put to good use.
<br><blockquote>You might have thought that Chernobyl was off-limits, closed to the outside world behind a rigidly patrolled exclusion zone since reactor No. 4 went into catastrophic meltdown April 26, 1986, spewing radiation to the four winds.
<br>
<br>Not a bit of it...
<br>
<br>Now, for the first time, a Hollywood feature film -- the zombie movie "Return of the Living Dead 4: Necropolis" -- has gained access to the infamous site.
<br>
<br>Ukrainian-born producer Anatoly Fradis is proud -- despite the obstacles and the cost. "Up to a couple of days before we began shooting, it was touch-and-go whether they would let us in, and I had to pay more than I had budgeted to secure the permission," Fradis says, standing inside Chernobyl's first checkpoint inside the zone.</blockquote>
<br>Of special note is this little tidbit:
<br><blockquote>"Chernobyl is very spooky and serves our purpose -- we are shooting in all these abandoned towns and villages, with rusting equipment lying around everywhere," Fradis says.
<br>
<br>The sense of a <b>post-apocalyptic</b> world dawns as we follow the Chaika around the Chernobyl district.</blockquote>
<br>While this might be the fourth film in a tragically "B" series, I might just have to go rent this one.
