The infamous house action in Leave the World Behind took place in Old Westbury, New York.
In real life, the house is known as theOpen Corner House, and is a 5,000-square-foot modern farmhouse designed by John Winberry. It’s built to capture sunlight every hour of the day.
Location manager Mara Alcaly toldCurbed“It’s not a cozy house, but you don’t expect things will go wrong when you step into that place… It was such an amazing capture of what we tried to do.”
Additional scenes for Leave the World Behind were also filmed in Katonah, Beford.
External shots, including the infamous Tesla pile-up, the local grocery store, and the open roads Clay (Ethan Hawke) finds himself wandering are all most likely to be filmed here.
A lot goes down in the forest surrounding the Leave the World Behind house, which were all filmed in the FDR State Park.
Franklin D. Roosevelt State Park is a 960-acre state park approximately 40 miles from New York City. The park was created in 1922 on the former site of the Mohansic State Hospital, meaning the Leave the World Behind cast and crew had to travel north for these scenes.
Leave the World Behind is available to stream on Netflix now. You can read more about the movie below:
