national ignition facility
from star trek into darkness posted in movies by chewing_the_scenery
Many of the high-tech interiors of the Enterprise in J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek sequel Star Trek Into Darkness were filmed at the National Ignition Facility, part of the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory near San Francisco.
This was the first time a movie had been allowed to shoot at the NIF. The research facility is home to the world's largest and most energetic laser system, which they are using to attempt nuclear fusion. Like the Enterprise, it's also fueled by the hydrogen isotope deuterium. Way cooler than the Anheuser-Busch brewery used for the first movie.

The Eli Roth-produced Netflix original Hemlock Grove is set in the fictional former steel town of Hemlock Grove, Pennsylvania. Filming was originally going to take place outside Pittsburgh, but they ran into difficulties (something about misunderstanding how film tax credits work) so it ended up being filmed in and around Toronto.
Queen St. in Port Perry, Ontario is the stand-in for Hemlock Grove's Main Street.
