Welcome to the City of Angeles, where many of your favorite movies have been filmed. Since many major productions shoot in Hollywood, location scouts and directors often prefer to stay close to home when choosing filming sites. Here are just some of them.
University of Southern California
Once you step foot onto the campus of USC, it might feel very familiar to you. That would make sense, especially if you’ve ever movies like Legally Blonde, Forrest Gump, The Graduate, or the other 180 films that have been filmed there. USC is actually really close to downtown LA, so it’s very accessible and makes it very attractive for directors.
Vasquez Rocks
If you love sci-fi movies like Star Trek, you have to visit Vasquez Rocks. This gorgeous park is in the northern part of Los Angeles county, and not only is the scenery stunning, you will definitely recognize the area from both the TV series and the movie.
Bradbury Building
The Bradbury Building was built all the way back in the 19th century and is still used today for office space. But this stunning atrium is often commissioned to be in films like 500 Days of Summer, Blade Runner, The Artist, and many more!
