The movie set of The Ghost Writer (released as The Ghost in the United Kingdom) is a stunning beach house in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts with sleek Walter Knoll interior in a deep muted color palette, but as this was just a set, this dream house remains just a dream; in fact, the movie was not even filmed in America due to the fact that the notorious cult director Roman Polanski was not allowed to enter the country. The political thriller stars Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Kim Cattrall and Olivia Williams, but the star of the movie for us was the fictional Prime Minister's estate. For exterior location shots of the imposing modernist building, a facade was built at Usedom, Germany, and the plush interior shots were done on sets constructed at Babelsberg.
