As Los Angeles-based film location scout/manager, Rick Schuler has turned downtown L.A. into Chicago, San Francisco, New York, Italy, Colombia, 1960s-era L.A., and other locations.
The Watermarke Tower at 705 West 9th Street was used in the 2013 movie “Her,”Schuler says he roughly divides downtown “between the more modern part of it, that would be sort of west of Hill Street, and then everything east of Hill gets into older [buildings], it's Broadway, it's Spring, it's Main Street, and that can play for New York, can play for Chicago, can play for parts of San Francisco.
The Watermarke is a 35-story glass high-rise apartment building, with floor-to-ceiling greenish glass, and was used for both indoor and outdoor shots of actor Joaquin Phoenix’s character’s apartment. And back in 2013, Schuler says it was one of the few “newer” looking buildings downtown. Because the film is set in the future, Schuler says, “at first I thought ‘Oh, I'm gonna need to find all these super modern buildings and everything’ and then realized that, OK, you know we're walking here and there's probably buildings that are a hundred years old right around us and we don't think like, ‘Oh, well that building shouldn't be there.’”
The DoubleTree Hotel near Little Tokyo was another filming location Schuler selected for “Her.” Originally called The New Otani Hotel and Garden, built in 1977, the hotel features a rooftop garden with fountains. “What we had decided to do,” Schuler says, “both from an aesthetic and a production reason, was to elevate everything that happened. So they live up in apartments, they walk on bridges between buildings, and this was a place that was a garden that was above ground, too.”
