15 Stunning Facts About 2016’s Biggest Movies
3. La La Land's Opening Dance Was Shot On The Same Freeway As The Action Movie Speed
You can't blame people for assuming that the movie's opening song and dance number, Another Day of Sun, was performed with the help of digital trickery, but yes, it really was shot on an L.A. freeway.
This particular section is the car pool lane flyover on the California 110, at the junction of Interstate 105, and is the very same stretch of freeway that the iconic bus jump from the action classic Speed was filmed on.
Of course, the gap in the freeway was digitally added for the Keanu Reeves-starring film, but it's still super-cool to see two incredibly different movies make movie magic on the same stretch of concrete.
