Author	Topic: Castle shaped like a cross
Danielle Member	posted 06-13-2002 05:30 PM I'm looking to find a castle that is shaped like a cross from an aerial view. It also sits on a hill surrounded by green grass. I've tried searching for this castle, in vain, for a week now. Please help me! Thanks!

transylvanian Member	posted 06-15-2002 11:34 AM This is what I found on hollywood.com Blown Away (1994) Synopsis: A member of a city bomb squad is the target of a villain from his past. statistics Genre(s): action thriller Rating: MPAA R Runtime: 121 mins. Distributor(s): MGM/UA Distribution Co (USA) Baton Broadcasting (tv-Canada) Theatrical Release: Jul 1 1994 locations Los Angeles, California\ Boston, Massachusetts If this is the movie you're talking about, it means that the castle must be in either LA or Boston.
ipflo Moderator	posted 06-15-2002 01:34 PM on the internet i can find only one castle name associated with the movie: castle gleigh prison in northern island (don't know if it really exists). maybe this is the building you mean, at the end of the 19th century it was usual to build prisons in cross form, unfortunately i couldn't find a pic of it, so i am not sure, and í also don't associate prisons with hills of green grass.

Cruciform buildings are generally monastic, either abbeys or churches, and as stated the locations for the 1994 film were all in the states. Here they are in more detail, Filming Locations for Blown Away (1994) with Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges.
