Tenerife Becomes Movie Location Once Again
The Tenerife Tourist Boards announced earlier this week that Tenerife has once again been chosen as the location for a new movie. Film crews arrived on the island earlier this month to shoot scenes in the rugged Mount Teide National Park and the picturesque Adeje coastline for a new film entitled ‘Voice Over’.
The producers made their first visit to the holiday island in spring in search of dramatic scenery for the film. Tenerife’s incredibly diverse landscape has attracted many movie producers over the years and the island has featured in various famous films, such as Clash of the Titans and Planet of the Apes.
