Film Locations Then & Now: What Places in the Movies Look Like NowDoes that street look familiar but you just can't place where you saw it before? Perhaps you saw it in a movie - like the scene shown above from Back to the Future (1985) where Marty hitched a ride on his skateboard by holding on to the back of a blue pickup truck pulling out of a driveway of a Burger King in Hill Valley. Today, nearly 40 years later, that Burger King is still in there in Burbank, California, where that scene was filmed.Location shooting is where a film or TV show is filmed in a real-world setting, as opposed to a sound stage or a studio backlot. In some filming locations, the actual place and the place the movie is supposedly set are the same - for example, La La Land (2016) was actually filmed in Los Angeles. In other movies, the filming locations are different: Amadeus (1984) was set in Vienna, Austria, but was shot in Prague and Kromeriz in the Czech Republic.Of course, after the movie is filmed, shown to adoring fans, and consigned to re-runs on Netflix or are forgotten, the filming locations - the houses, buildings, parks and streets - are often still there. And years or decades later, that location would have changed with the times while some elements would remain similar to what we'd see in the film.The entertaining and fun Then & Now Movie Locations website and Instagram page by Paul S. features movie stills from famous movies showing the filming locations and what those locations look like at present day. The site showcases a few locations that were featured in Hollywood blockbusters like Top Gun (1986), Robocop (1987) and Forrest Gump (1994) to classic horror flicks like Friday the 13th (1980) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984).Images via Then & Now Movie Locations#movies #film #filmlocation #thenandnow #featuredHere are some of our favorites Film Locations Then & Now:
