Filming Locations Guide: Where was Trust filmed?
Posted by Ra Moon
The FX Networks series is a fiction based on the real kidnapping in 1973 of John Paul Getty III, heir to the Getty oil empire, by the Italian mafia.
The young boy was wrongly convinced that his family would pay a substantial ransom for his release.
Trust was filmed in England, Rome, and some of the less-visited regions of Italy, the forgotten Calabria and Basilicata areas in the south of the country.

The renowned director of Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle, tells the same story that Ridley Scott in the 2017 drama All the money in the world, although the productions have different points of view.
Donald Sutherland leads the cast as the tycoon J. Paul Getty, Harris Dickinson as his nephew, J. Paul Getty, Hilary Swank as the mother Gail Getty, and Brendan Fraser as private investigator James Fletcher.
Welcome to our spoiler-free guide to the magnificent filming locations of Trust.
The Getty mansion was filmed in the 17th-century Audley End House near Saffron Walden, Essex.
The stately home should be located near the fictional town of Bly, England.

The Great Hall plays a major role in representing the core of the English countryside manor, where J. Paul Getty lived escorted by his five lovers and a pet lion.

The golden-roofed Long Gallery of Hatfield House in Hertfordshire was also used to film one of the most sumptuous lodges of the mansion.
Hatfield's Marble Hall served as Getty’s dining room.
This location was also featured in the Taboo series and the 2017 superhero blockbuster Wonder Woman; but where was Wonder Woman filmed?

The courtyard with huge old Roman sculptures is the Palazzo dei Conservatori in Capitoline Hill.
The lower scene was also shot at the Capitoline Hill, the gate is facing the Roman Forum.
A short sequence was filmed in the Appian Way Aqueducts Park (Parco degli Acquedotti) in the outskirts of Rome.
There is also a scene from episode 2 with Paul and Martine in front of the Colosseum, filmed in from the same terrace as the acclaimed 2013 film The Great Beauty.

The Brendan Fraser charater's (James Fletcher Chace) digs are at 67 Grafton Way in Fitzrovia London, near the southern point of Fitzroy Sq.. There's a quick shot in the opposite direction down Conway Street showing BT Tower (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_Tower).
ReplyDeleteAs Chace proceeds along Grafton Way to his lodgings at No. 67 one can see one of the famous Blue Plaques on the side wall of the house at 33 Fitzroy Square behind him (https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/blue-plaques/roger-fry/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega_Workshops).
No. 33 is the end house of a lovely terrace by Scottish architect Robert Adam (1728-92).
Coincidentally, Brendan Fraser spent part of his childhood in Rome and, on one visit to London as a nine-year-old, saw 'Star Wars' at the Leicester Square Odeon which inspired him to want to become a film actor.
Thank you very much for your very enjoyable site.
