I want to photograph the Locations after 20 years.


As i am living in the area, where the Movie was shot, i want to photograph the Locations of the Movie 20 years after the making.

It could be intersting to see if something changed, or not ?

How does the street of the infamous Teaser Trailer looks today ?

Does someone at Victorine Studios in Nice remember something of the Shoot ?

These are things, that interest me.

Please feel free to post real Street Names of Locations, so that i can go there and take Photographs.

Of course, i will do some research too.

What do you think of this Idea ?

Best of luck,
Michael

Here are some locations in addition to the villa (see thread "The Villa"):

Villefranche sur mer, along the seaside: Scene where Freddy arrives in the white Ferrari. There really isn't a cafe where Lawrence is sitting and the street is a dead-end so Freddy couldn't have arrived from that direction. The Ferrari stops near the entrance of the famous Hotel Welcome. The teaser-trailer was also filmed here.

Villefranche sur mer, market square: Scene where Lawrence and Freddy meet after Freddy was supposed to have left town. Note the stairs which they step in the end of the scene.

Cap Ferrat, Villa de Ephrussi de Rotschild: Scene where Lawrence tells Freddy how to spend money and that a brooch saved the garden. You can access the 2nd floor balcony only by taking a guided tour at extra cost (http://www.villa-ephrussi.com/en/ephrussi/).

Cap Ferrat, Grand Hotel de Cap Ferrat: Scene where Freddy leaves in the white Ferrari and where Freddy and Lawrence walk slowly while Lawrence explains to know your limitations.

Beauliau sur mer, the building of the casino: The scene where Freddy shops for clothes driving the white Ferrari. The Claude Bonucci shop isn't there any more.

Airport scenes are from the Cannes-Mandelieu airport as stated in the credits.

Would be great if you did this! Inspired (somewhat) by the beauty of the Riviera in the movie, I am spending some of my honeymoon this year in the area - not least, Villefranche Sur Mer. Can't wait.
