I say this because there was another film which I haven't seen yet, an adaptation of Fante's "Ask the Dust" starring Colin Farrell, which was also shot in South Africa but set on old Bunker Hill in LA.

Ask the Dust is discussed at some length here, with interesting pictures: http://www.onbunkerhill.org/AsktheDust
