San Francisco was the backdrop to Brendan Fraser's romantic comedy 'Bedazzled.'
"Bedazzled," starring Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley, was filmed in San Francisco and released in 2000.Lance Hoffman, a local location assistant, and Kokayi Ampah, the supervising location manager on the set of “Bedazzled,” helped secure San Francisco landmarks such as City Hall and Justin Herman Plaza as the background to the film in the early aughts. Behind the camera, the shoot was often a Rubik's Cube of sorts when it came to managing commuters and parking.
“We needed a lot of space to do that because we needed the crash, clear it out, run all the traffic through, and then do it again,” Hoffman said. “The hard part is bleeding off the traffic that's detained … so that required a certain amount of coordination.” The next montage is a blur of San Francisco’s cityscape, showcasing the Transamerica Pyramid and the city’s iconic hilly streets. As the camera pans out, the Bay Bridge comes into full focus and then pulls us back in to find the Lamborghini speeding on the upper deck. The shot itself is insignificant to the storyline and lasts about a couple of seconds, but it happened to be the most challenging set to capture on camera.
