33 Behind-The-Scenes Photos That Showcase How Absolutely Wild Movies Must Be To Make
Hey everyone. It’s me again. Allie. BuzzFeed’s movie editor and resident well-hydrated pop culture ghoul.
Anyway, given that it’s my job to write about movies all day, every day, I often get to see some pretty fun behind-the-scenes pictures while searching for the perfect still to include in a post. So, I thought it’d be fun to round up a few of my favorites that I’ve come across over my literal half-a-decade of working here. (I’ve been at BuzzFeed five years. It’s been a minute.)
Ready? Here we go:
1. Here we see co-directors/writers Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (collectively, the Daniels) chatting about a multitude of multiverses on the set of Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022).

Ernst Haas / Getty Images6. And director Jon M. Chu sets up the big party entrance scene with Awkwafina on the set of Crazy Rich Asians (2018).

Warner Bros / ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection9. Julia Roberts takes over for director Garry Marshall on camera for Pretty Woman (1990).
Buena Vista Pictures / ©Buena Vista Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection10. And director/writer Sam Raimi chats with Tobey Maguire and Kirstin Dunst on a New York City rooftop while shooting Spider-Man (2002).
Columbia Pictures / ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection11. Director Steven Spielberg gives some very important notes on how to dinosaur to a dinosaur on the set of The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997).
David James / ©Universal / Courtesy Everett Collection12. Director Greta Gerwig and Saoirse Ronan pose identically on the set of Lady Bird (2017).
©A24 / courtesy Everett Collection13. Kiera Knightly listens intently while director Joe Wright plans his next shot in Pride & Prejudice (2005) — and, let’s be real, he’s probably talkin’ a little trash about Mr. Darcy.
Focus Films / ©Focus Films/Courtesy Everett Collection14. Tom Holland stands on a big, comfy-looking mat, listening to director Ruben Fleischer on the set of Uncharted (2022).
Clay Enos / © Sony Pictures / Courtesy Everett Collection15. Florence Pugh prepares to take flight(?) on the set of Black Widow (2020).

/ ©Warner Bros/courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection17. Director Steven Spielberg poses for a very handsome portrait with Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) on the set of Hook (1991).
Tristar Pictures / ©TriStar Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection18. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio stare while director James Cameron points to something on set of Titanic (1997). I love Kate’s face here because it 100% looks like James is a time-traveller sent back in time to tell her some hot gossip.
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection19. Meanwhile, director Peter Jackson looks like a multiverse hopper come to warn Legolas (Orlando Bloom) about the dangers of not wearing sun protection on the set of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002).
New Line Cinema / ©New Line Cinema/Courtesy Everett Collection20. And director Jordan Peele isn’t afraid to get up close and personal with Red (Lupita Nyong’o) while filming Us (2019).

/ ©ABC/Courtesy Everett Collection22. Charlize Theron chats up director George Miller while sweatin’ it out in the desert during Mad Max: Fury Road (2015).
Warner Bros / ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection23. Hey, while we’re talking about deserts, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson can certainly smell what director Stephen Sommers is cooking while they film The Mummy 2 (2001).
/ ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection24. Naomi Watts gets hugged by a giant green screen hand for King Kong (2005).
Universal / ©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection25. Director James Cameron chills with the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger) and John Connor (Edward Furlong) while filming Terminator II: Judgement Day (1991).
/ ©TriStar Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection26. Clive Barker chilling with his sick-lookin’ cenobites on the set of Hellraiser (1987). Honestly? Squad goals.
New World Releasing / ©New World Releasing/Courtesy Everett Collection27. Oh, did I say “squad goals?!” Here’s Ernie Hudson, Harold Ramis, director Ivan Reitman, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Murray posing by their beloved car on the set of Ghostbusters II (1989).
/ ©Columbia Pictures/courtesy Everett Co / Everett Collection28. Director George Lucas looks on while Ian McDiarmid and Samuel L. Jackson practice their laser sword duels on the set of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith (2005).
20thcentfox / ©20thCentFox/Courtesy Everett Collection29. Heath Ledger’s Joker gets a mid-day touch-up from make-up artist John Caglione Jr. while shooting The Dark Knight (2008).
Stephen Vaughan / © Warner Bros. / courtesy Everett Collection30. Did someone say “knight?!” Here’s director David Lowery taking a moment to instruct Ralph Ineson and Dev Patel on the set of The Green Knight (2021). I’m obsessed with how casual this tree man looks here.
Eric Zachanowich / © A24 / Courtesy Everett Collection31. And behind-the scenes pics aren’t just for live action movies! Here’s artist Mark Henn as he works on a sketch of Belle while animating Beauty and the Beast (1991).
Walt Disney Co. / ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection32. And Eddie Murphy getting into voicing Donkey in the recording sessions for Shrek (2001).
Dreamworks / ©DreamWorks/Courtesy Everett Collection33. Last, but certainly not least: Cate Blanchett looks on as director Taika Waititi shows her some shots on set of Thor: Ragnarok (2017). Y’all, this is my favorite meme layout. Excellent.
