Movies filmed in Manhattan

Filmed here, per Wikipedia

Productions whose English Wikipedia article names Manhattan as somewhere it was shot, with no matching statement on Wikidata. Weaker evidence than the statements above, so it gets its own list — each production’s own page links the exact section the claim comes from.

Set here

Video games that take place here. A game is filmed nowhere, so this is where the story is set rather than where a camera stood — a different claim from everything above, and kept under its own heading for that reason.

  • Spider-Man
    “Marvel's Spider-Man is an open-world action-adventure game set in the borough of Manhattan in a fictionalized version of modern-day New York City.” Wikipedia
  • Prototype
    “Prototype is an action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective and set in an open world based on modern-day Manhattan.” Wikipedia
  • Tom Clancy's The Division
    “Tom Clancy's The Division is an action role-playing game set in an open world mid-crisis Manhattan with destructible environments that can be freely explored by the players.” Wikipedia
  • Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Set here, per Wikipedia

Games whose English Wikipedia article says they are set in Manhattan, where Wikidata’s narrative-location statement stops at the country. Still a setting and not a shoot, and still a sentence rather than a statement — two steps from the strongest evidence on this atlas, and labelled at both.

  • Spider-Man: Web of Shadows
    “Spider-Man Web of Shadows is a third-person action-adventure video game set in an open-world outer area of Manhattan.” Wikipedia
  • The Incredible Hulk
    “The game takes place in an open world recreation of Manhattan, and the Hulk has a variety of attacks and abilities for destroying enemies and causing environmental destruction.” Wikipedia

Drawn from this place

Anime whose Japanese Wikipedia article names Manhattan as a real place their setting was modelled on. Nothing was filmed here and no story happens here: somebody drew it from here. That is the weakest claim this atlas makes about a place, which is why it sits under its own heading, and each production’s page links the article the claim came from.
