<p>As for Madam Secretary using Fordham as a stand-in for Georgetown, I think that will be a regular thing; my friend who scouts locations told me that NYC offered big tax incentives to the producers so as much as can be filmed in NYC as possible will be in NYC. It’s funny: whenever a film/TV company wants to shoot Columbia as Columbia, they use Columbia, when they want to shoot NYU, any NYC building will do but when they want to shoot a general, generic Gothic college, they go to Fordham. Although in some movies Fordham did fill in for Columbia, Cornell and Harvard.</p>
<p>I think the only movies that used Fordham as Fordham were The Iron Major and recently Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps. TV was the VInce Lombardi Story and Shattered Vows. Can’t think of any others.</p>
