LA LA LAND Featurette Focuses on Costumes, Locations, and the Movie's Opening Scene
Lionsgate has released a new featurette for La La Land, the studio's Oscar frontrunner for Best Picture that became the single most awarded film in Golden Globes history this past weekend. If you haven't seen the movie yet, I'd highly recommend it — it's one of my favorites of 2016.
The featurette concentrates on the movie's eye-popping costumes and real life locations, including some behind the scenes footage of when the production shut down a section of a Los Angeles freeway to film its opening musical number. La La Land is one of the most visually distinct movies that came out last year, combining primary colors and art deco production design with a more modern sensibility, and it's cool to hear about the thought processes that went into bringing this magical musical to life. The film is in theaters now, so check it out if you haven't seen it yet!
