what city did a famous disney movie take place in
Los Angeles.
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
The film began shooting in neighborhoods in Los Angeles County and in the San Fernando valley in September 1981. The project was filmed under the cover name "A Boy's Life", as Spielberg did not want anyone to discover and plagiarize the plot. The actors had to read the script behind closed doors, and everyone on set had to wear an ID card. The shoot began with two days at Culver City High School and the crew spent the next 11 days moving between locations at Northridge and Tujunga. The next 42 days were spent at Laird International Studios in Culver City for the interiors of Elliott's home. The crew shot at a redwood forest near Crescent City in Northern California for the production's last six days. The exterior Halloween scene and the "flying bicycle" chase scenes were filmed in Porter Ranch.
