After a new law was passed a few years ago that reimburses movie producers for about 15 percent of their movie making costs, shooting in Panama has become the new big thing. &nbsp;This luring law has already attracted quite a number of films to be shot in Panama, and with big names such as Benicio del Toro and Robert de Niro having already released movies shot in Panama, it\u2019s clear: &nbsp;movie making in Panama is on the rise!<\/p>\n<h4>Recent Movies Made in Panama<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Making movies in Panama has not been super popular in the the past, yet it\u2019s had its share so far. &nbsp;There have been a few films of international fame that were shot in this little country, and in recent years Panama&#8217;s name has hit the marquis in productions such as: \u201cThe Tailor of Panama\u201d with Pierce Brosnan, filmed in 2001, and the 22<sup>nd<\/sup> James Bond film \u201cQuantum of Solace\u201d was filmed here in Panama in 2008.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Any country likes to have its name promoted along big movie hits due to the great exposure opportunity. &nbsp;People might choose to visit such country as a result of having seen it on the movie screen! &nbsp;More tourists mean more dollars, not accounting for the millions of bucks that movie making leaves behind in the hosting country. &nbsp;Movie making is profitable and Panama has made a strategic move! Other movies that had chosen Panama as their movie set have been:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>Basic (2003) with John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson<\/li>\n<li>Contraband (the most recent, from 2012) with Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale<\/li>\n<li>Herbie Goes Bananas (1980), starring Herbie!
