Where was Netflix's Pain Hustlers filmed? Shooting locations explored
Emily Blunt will be returning to the big screen with Pain Hustlers, which was nabbed by Netflix at the 2022 Cannes Festival for a whopping $50 million-plus deal.
Built around the American opioid crisis, Netflix's Pain Hustlers has brought in David Yates for the direction and production, besides co-producer Lawrence Grey. The official trailer released on Tuesday, October 9, 2023, took the audience on a ride through the suburbs of the United States to busy hospital corridors, commercial office spaces, and bustling streets of Atlanta City. It is the cinematographer George Richmond (Rocketman) who breathes life into the storyline, which, according to IMDb, is,
"Liza dreams of a better life for her and her daughter so she gets a job at a bankrupt pharmacy and Liza's guts catapult the company and her into the high life not knowing that she will soon be in the middle of a criminal conspiracy."Pain Hustlers will be released on October 20, 2023, but before that, let us take a look at the filming locations of the project.

The third location where the Netflix movie has been filmed is 5629 Ogeechee Rd., Savannah, Georgia, USA.
The Traveler’s Inn in Chatham County can be spotted in the first few moments of the trailer when Emily Blunt's character Liza Drake moves into the inn with her daughter Phoebe (Chloe Coleman, Big Little Lies) and grounds herself by saying,
"I will not give up on myself. I will not give up on my dreams. I will make my life count. I will make my life count."The spot serves as a great starting point for Liza's character as she is shown to build her place in the pharma company from the ground up.
