Todays filming of Jane the Virgin...The City of Long Beach Film Office issues permits for over 800 productions a year with more than 1,000 production days. In the early 1900’s Long Beach offered an ideal setting for the motion picture industry. The city was already a theater town, enjoying a sunny seaside climate, with a steady pool of talented actors, directors and technicians. Along the Pike in Long Beach, there were eight film houses and two stock company theaters. Filming began to make its way back to Long Beach in the 60’s with about ten productions a year. Features included “Gone in 60 Seconds” and “Three Wise Fools”. The city increased filming to about 100 productions a year by the late 80’s with features such as Lethal Weapon and Batman. The City of Long Beach continues to uphold its reputation of being one of the most film friendly City’s in California. With this, the City will continue to strive and keep its good name on the Hollywood map for years to come.
