Recreated Movie Scenes at the Actual Filming Locations

Talk about great attention to detail.

Some people call themselves movie fans and then there are people out there like this.

The folks behind an Instagram page called Secret Famous Places venture out to find actual filming locations for movies and TV shows and then they recreate the scenes with stunning detail.

And they travel far and wide to get their photos, as you’re about to see.

Let’s take a look at some examples of the locations they’ve captured. This is a lot of fun!

1. La La Land.

Even the tie is swaying the right way.

It's time for La La Land! We visited #LosAngeles in California to find the famous filming location of La La Land, where Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone started dancing ? You can see there is no bench and the street lamps were decoration, too. But "Cathy's Corner" (name of this place at Griffith Park) has an amazing view over Los Angeles. You can reach this place by a 30 minutes walk starting at Griffith Observatorium, next to the "Hollywood" sign. The bush on the left site was cut down. But the best fun fact is: I was wearing Judith's shirt…I forgot mine at home…once again (#DowntonAbbey). The tie is clipped at the shirt ? Judith had to buy a yellow dress. This time a easy outfit for both of us. . . . #LaLaLand #emmastone #ryangosling #la #losangelescalifornia #california #visitcalifornia #griffithpark #hollywood #lovestory #fashion #cathyscorner #USA #travel #travelusa #filminglocation #secretfamousplaces #travellog #dance #wanderlust #explore #traveller #hollywood #oscar #hollywoodhills #discoverLA #worldplaces #watchthisinstagood #BestVacations

2. The road to Skyfall.

Beautiful scenery.

View this post on Instagram

Beautiful nature at Glen Etive, where James Bond and M are looking down to "Skyfall". It was an amazing view, but the weather was against us – three days of rain and stormy wind…It was quiet cold. But the view was absolutely worth it. It is a single track road for many kilometers and we drove with a camper…but it is possible to reach the destination. Fun fact: At the end of Glen Etive you arrive at Loch Etive, which is directy the sea. And this place was the filming location of Harry Potter…photo coming soon ?

3. P.S. I Love You.

On location in Ireland.

View this post on Instagram

We visited the beautiful country Ireland to take a picture of "P.S. I love you"! It was a surprise for Judith because it was her birthday. So I planned everything, even the clothes, which was quite difficult ?And Judith's outfit was a little bit…different…? . . Location: It is a small street near Dublin in an area called Wicklow Mountains – next to "Sally Gap". The exact coordinates are 53,1280703, -6,2922800. The street is still used, so we had to hurry up to take the photos when there was no car. But when you take a closer look, there are no stripes on the road. The reason: it was refurbished. You can find the whole story of our trip in the highlights of our instastory. . . @hilaryswank and @gerardbutler we hope you like the photo ? . . Original photo: Warner Bros.

4. Thelma & Louise.

In the good, old USA!

View this post on Instagram

We are back in #Germany and this is our first photo from our trip to the USA! ? We visited the beautiful Arches Nationalpark in Utah for a filming location of Thelma and Louise ? But just because we asked you for ideas of filming locations some weeks ago. Thanks to @irisnhf for this great suggestion and all the other answers. It is an awesome nationalpark with great nature and cool trails. @utahunique. The rock formation in the background is still the same, so it was quite easy to find it – luckily, because it was extremely hot ? You can find the making-of of the photoshooting in our Insta-Story ? @susansarandon we hope you like the photo ?

5. Forrest Gump.

An iconic shot if there ever was one.

View this post on Instagram

This time we have been in the USA to visit the filming location of Forrest Gump! It is our first picture with people we met there…so the photo shooting was very exciting ? . Location: Run Forrest, Run!", a famous quote and quite famous place! You can clearly see the Monument Valley Area with the beautiful red sand and stones. It is a very long road in Arizona and really hot out there…and it was October ? The silhouette of the huge rocks in the background is exactly the same, only the sign is new ? . . Clothes: We didn't have a cap like Forrest. So Judith draw the company logo ? The jacket was from a friend. Thanks to @anubis.hes and sorry for sweating. It was very hot ? . . Actors: The problem was the crowd of people behind Forrest Gump. So we asked some guys from Thailand if they want to be our shooting partner. They were very ambitious to get a perfect photo ? A special thanks for your great support!! @namekesara @kch._.m @smioroa @wonatz @23mariott @kittaploy Whole making-of ?? instastory And @tomhanks, we hope you like the photo ?

6. The International.

In Milan, Italy.

7. All the way back to 1963.

Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn.

View this post on Instagram

Audrey Hepburn, Paris and suuummer ? This time we covered "Charade" from 1963! This classic movie was recorded in Paris with the great Audrey Hepburn and her colleague Cary Grant. Can you see the different colour of the bridge? The movie was recorded 55(!) years ago and some things changed and others are still the same. The bridge is called "Pont au Double" and is very close to Notre Dame…it is quite busy and a lot of people watched us, especially Judith with her discreet colour ?? We found the red top and the skirt at a second hand shop. While we were driving to Paris, we "produced" the bobbles in Judith's top on our own and believe us – we never do this again ? It took a veeeery long time…10 of them were too hard, so in the end there were only 7 of them. It was a great place in Paris! ❤ Original photo: Universal Pictures #Paris #Charade #France #AudreyHepburn #CaryGrant #Classic #NotreDame #PontAuDouble #Style #Styleicone #seine #fashion #beauty #hollywood #cinema #secretfamousplaces #summer #travel #photography

8. A little Star Wars action.

Did you know this was filmed in Italy?

View this post on Instagram

"Star Wars" – the second picture! We took this photo at Villa del Balbianello in Italy, Lake Como. It was absolutely worth it!! Though our clothes were a little bit embarrassing ? and a lot of people where watching ? the flowers in the front came from Germany ? we were afraid that there wouldn't be any flowers in may…so traveled with us to italy. Unfortunately it was so cold that the trees didn't have any leaves…? but: @natalieportman We hope you like the photo! More coming soon ? @villadelbalbianello Thank you for your support!

9. The Devil Wears Prada.

New York City on film!

View this post on Instagram

New Yoooooooork! ❤ We met a lot of friendly people who helped us finding the filming location of "The Devil Wears Prada". Thank you so much! . . Location: The original scene was recorded infront of the building where Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway had their fashion agency (it is the McGraw-Hill Building next to #Rockefellercenter). We found it after asking a lot of people! . . Clothes: Anne Hathaway wears a green shirt with white elements on it. And here brown bag is a big Part in the picture, because she uses her telephone and don't know where to go in the scene. Judith has a similar bag and even the shirt, so it was easy for her to dress like Anne Hathaway ? . . Amazing City! If you have the chance to visit it, grab it. The people over there are great and very friendly ? . . @annehathaway we hope you like the photo! . .

10. Alien: Covenant.

Take in the beauty of New Zealand.

View this post on Instagram

One of the most beautiful filming locations we have seen so far – Alien: Covenant in New Zealand! . . Location: First we thought it was a scene at #MilfordSound, but in the end we found it next to a highway… puuh ? you can see in the original picture, that it was a rainy day with a lot of clouds. Our weather was quite windy and cold, but we saw the sun quite often. The original scene was recorded between huge mountains with a unbelievable wide area. No houses or people living there. A perfect filming location. And we found it! The mountains in the background are the same and even the forrest in the right side didn't changed. . . Clothed: Unfortunately they wear these "pretty" caps ? and so we wear it, too. ut the hardest part was the straw in the foreground. The filming team placed them of course more naturally. In the scene they were walking through ot. Our Problem was the wind Wind ist was a little bit too strong for this little decoration ? and it was pretty cold…but in the end we made it! ? Whole story on Youtube. . . @rsafilms perfect filming location! Great choice! . .

11. Downton Abbey.

People are obsessed with this show, so it only makes sense that they’d go there.

View this post on Instagram

Downton Abbey – we are in love with #highclerecastle. It was amazing!! ❤ People were watching because it looked like Robin asked me to marry him…? the reason: the tripod was too small…so we had to kneel down. And no: he didn't asked ? . . Location: The original scene was filmed at Highclere Castle in Great Britain. You can see it in the background of the original photo. There are huge trees in front of it, so we know which perspective should be the correct one. But our tripod was to small. We made it anyway ? in both pictures you see a very clean area, it was amazing. The trees didn't changed and the weather was…ok. they had a little bit more sun. . . Clothes: Robin forgot his chemise and his tie in Germany. So if you have closer look: his "shirt" is a peace of paper ? and his tie is the belt of my coat. But it is quite similar to the original one. Cullen wears a little bit darker jackett…and a real shirt… But by the way…my coat is a bathrobe ? So…it was a lot of fun. For us and for the people around us. . . @theladydockers @tom_cullen amazing location, hope you like our photo ? Making-of is on YouTube. . .

12. Inception with DiCaprio and Cotillard.

In the City of Lights.

View this post on Instagram

The filming location for Inception was a little bit different than expected. The challenge: A lot of brides and traffic in the background… ? And we were running out of time because of the sunset. We only had 20 minutes to shoot the photo…. . . Location: You can see the beautiful background, where Leonardo DiCaprio and Marion Cotillard are standing – but it is a quite loud bridge. A lot of cars and even a train (top of the upper bridge) are driving over it. But the view is amazing (directly to the Eiffel Tower). We found the exact spot, but you clearly see the sun was going down in the original photo. So we had to hurry up. . . Clothes: Quite easy this time ? DiCaprio wears a brown shirt and Cotillard a dark shirt, too. And she wears a colorful scarf. We found similar clothes at our home to match them. . . You can see the whole story on our YouTube channel. . . @leonardodicaprio @marioncotillard We hope you like the photo ? . .

I’d say those recreations they did are pretty spot-on, wouldn’t you?

How about you? Do you ever go find pop culture locations when you’re out of town?

Or maybe even when you’re in your own town?

If so, tell us about the spots you’ve hit in the comments!

Please and thank you!
