Oscar contender “Carol” is one of the many films that have put Cincinnati on the map as a movie city. Production crews are currently here filming "Inconceivable" with Nicholas Cage and Gina Gershon. Ten movies are being produced here this year, including “The Life and Death of John Gotti” with John Travolta; “The killing of a Sacred Deer” with Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman; and Killer Films' “Mercy” with Ellen Page and Kate Mara. Other popular movies like “Rain Main” and“Ides of March” have been filmed in Cincinnati in the past.
