Filming
Filming
Principal photography began in Los Angeles on October 26, 2020. It was temporarily halted for two weeks on November 4 after a crew member tested positive for COVID-19, which resulted in stars Pugh, Styles and Pine being quarantined. Filming wrapped on February 13, 2021. The film's original score is by John Powell. Arianne Phillips served as costume designer.
The opening sequence was filmed at the Kaufmann House. It was the first film to be shot there. Wilde was inspired by its architecture, and hung a photograph of it on her wall while working on the script. She told Variety, "To be there was huge. To direct the first shot there felt like this really auspicious beginning to this movie which was this love letter not only to film, but to architecture, to design, to this era."
Other filming locations include the Cicada Club in Downtown Los Angeles during the Victory party sequence and the Volcano House, in Newberry Springs, which served as Victory Headquarters and was once owned by TV host Huell Howser.
