In the summer of 1991, production on the Academy Award-winning film “The Last of the Mohicans” began. Approaching the 30^th anniversary of this movie’s origin, let us take a look back at one of the most significant features developed in North Carolina. With gorgeous shooting locations in the mountains of Chimney Rock State Park, the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, and Lake James, this film truly showcases the natural allure of the western part of the state. Adapted from James Fenimore Cooper’s 1826 novel, this motion picture directed by Michael Mann, and starring Daniel-Day Lewis, Madeleine Stowe, Russell Means, and Wes Studi, was a critically-acclaimed feature lauded for its realistic production design, riveting musical score, and stunning cinematography.
