Newark In Film

Movie of the Week: Garden State (2004)

Filming Locations: Includes scenes filmed at Newark Penn Station and on local streets.

In Garden State (2004), several scenes were filmed in Newark, particularly at Newark Penn Station and surrounding local streets. These locations added an urban, authentic feel to the movie, grounding key moments in recognizable New Jersey settings. The film, which follows Andrew Largeman (played by Zach Braff) returning to his hometown, captures the atmosphere of New Jersey life, and Newark’s inclusion reflects the broader state context central to the movie’s themes.

By incorporating Newark Penn Station, the movie connects the protagonist’s journey with the daily realities of the city's commuters and urban landscape. The combination of these Newark scenes with others shot in South Orange and other New Jersey towns helps paint a fuller picture of Largeman's return to his roots. These real-life locations contribute significantly to the film’s mood and storytelling.
