This Guy Tracks Down Movie Locations and Recreates Iconic Shots Like a Total Legend

There's something a little surreal about seeing a real place you've only known through the magic of movies. Like, we all know The Phantom Menace wasn't actually filmed in a galaxy far, far away—but seeing the exact spot where Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon stood makes it feel real. And that one iconic Avengers shot? Yep, it happened right there, in a place you could theoretically Uber to.

That's the magic Thomas Duke brings with him wherever he goes. Thomas is a full-on movie lover and dedicated cine-photographer (I made that word up, but it fits). He travels all over the world visiting famous movie locations, and then stands in exactly the right spot to hold up a frame from the movie that was filmed there. The result? A perfect blend of real world and reel world (You see what I did there?).

But Thomas doesn't stop at movie locations—he's also interviewed some of the biggest names in Hollywood, and you can find his adventures and encounters on his Instagram, @SteppingThroughFilm. If you're a film geek or just someone who likes seeing behind the curtain, you'll love these 30 movie locations brought back to life in the most creative way possible.
