The lab exterior is a wing of the Center for Molecular Medicine, 520 Belleville Avenue, in BelleVille, north of Newark, New Jersey. There is no ‘Wheeler Defense Laboratory’ at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) – and anyway, the film didn’t shoot in Cambridge. ‘Harvard University’ is Manhattan College, 4513 Manhattan College Parkway, Riverdale, New York, and Union Theological Seminary, 3041 Broadway, on New York’s Upper East Side, supplied further college scenes. The aerial shot of the Pentagon is real, but the ‘Pentagon’ office is Keating Hall, Fordham University, Rose Hill Campus, 441 East Fordham Road, in the Bronx. The house of John and Alicia Nash ( Jennifer Connelly) is 100 Grand Street, at Washington Street, Paulus Hook, in Jersey City.
The filming is in New Jersey and around New York. Yes, it is Princeton University, New Jersey, where scenes were filmed at Holder Hall, County Road 571, during three separate visits, as the movie was shot largely in sequence.
And James Horner’s score raises the possibility that perhaps Princeton University is going to hit an iceberg.
Ron Howard’s film puts the struggle of brilliant mathematician John Nash ( Russell Crowe) through the Hollywood blender and – hey presto – nabs the Triumph over Adversity Oscars (Best Picture, Best Direction). In the movies there’s no affliction, physical or mental, that can’t be overcome by sheer willpower and the lurve of a good woman.
