Out of all of Tim Burton's films, I feel Ed Wood is the most solid in terms of story, acting and direction. I didn't have much interest in doing locations for this film until I was asked to find the "studio" used in the movie. After that, I thought I might as well check the other locales out.
First up, are some shots of Johnny Depp at an actual studio, Warner Brothers....

Next, Boardner's has several appearances in the film as well as the coffin store next door where Ed Wood first meets Bela Lugosi....

The scene where Ed shoots "Glen or Glenda" was shot right on Hollywood Boulevard....

And for completeness sake, the house across the street....
The Larchmont Studios was kind of tricky to find. First up is the walk to the studio Vampira takes after she get off the bus. She walks into the back of the studio here....

The finale of the film takes place at the Pantages Theatre....

And right in the middle of all these locations is Bela Lugosi's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...
And Maila Nurmi's gravestone...
These are really great photos. Thanks for taking the trouble to seek out these locations.
ReplyDeleteBeen looking for the "Screen Classics" building used for the one exterior shot forever... any ideas? Many thanks.

ReplyDeleteCould you please post the address for the Larchmont Studios location? You're the only one I know that's found it and I'd love to hopefully visit it someday. Thank you kindly!
ReplyDeleteSure thing it's at 1633 Cosmo Street and the E Cahuenga Alley behind it. I'll try to do a Set-Jetter.com update soon.
DeleteNice pics and all that but why don't you list the addresses? I think that's what most people want to GoogleEarth them and stuff.
ReplyDeleteSorry, there is an updated page at my new website for Ed Wood here: https://www.set-jetter.com/ontheset/edwood
DeleteI also updated the top of this page with some links to it as well. :)
