Jason Statham's latest action flick, The Beekeeper, is a thrilling ride full of action and suspense. But have you ever wondered where the film was actually filmed? It turns out that The Beekeeper, despite being set in Massachusetts and other US locations, was primarily shot in the United Kingdom.
The film's primary location was Kent, a county in southeast England. The beautiful 1200-acre farm land where Adam Clay (Jason Statham) and Eloise Parker (Phylicia Rashad) live are actually Castle Farm and Lower Austin Lodge in Eynsford.
This London street serves as a stand-in for the Boston skyline.
This bridge is where the thrilling stunt sequence takes place, where Mickey Garnett (David Witts) is tied to a car and dragged off the bridge.
The grand estate of Derek Danforth (Josh Hutcherson), the film's antagonist, is actually Tyringham Hall, an 18th-century manor house.
These locations serve as the homes of Adam Clay and Eloise Parker.
Washington D.C. was used for establishing shots in the film.
The Beekeeper also filmed in London, which served as the backdrop for Adam's meeting with the FBI in the movie.
The film's production stayed mostly within the United Kingdom, using Kent and London to create the setting for the action-packed story. So, while the film might have been set in the US, the locations chosen for filming give The Beekeeper a unique flavor and add to the overall experience.
