Upstate New York is no stranger to Hollywood talent. From Maya Hawke to Paul Rudd, Tinseltown stars have made their home in the lush, beautiful countryside of New York.

Now, one star's decade-old Upstate residence was recently featured in one of 2026's biggest movies.

Amanda Seyfried's Animal Sanctuary

In the mid-2010s, Mean Girls star Amanda Seyfried moved to the Catskill region of New York, and transformed her home into an Animal Sanctuary. It houses chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, horses and more, and is registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Seyfried doesn't just onw the property, she's the one keeping it running. She takes care of the animals and chores around the sanctuary, and stated that it allows her to get away from the hustle and bustle of the film industry while in between roles.

Midway through the film, Holmes goes to Prison, and Fielder enlists Seyfried (who played Holmes in the HULU Series, The Dropout) to play Holmes in reenactments of their conversations (which can't be legally filmed).

Most of the scenes they share together take place at Seyfried's sanctuary in Upstate New York, including a long sequence where she gives him a tour and explains why this place means so much to her.

You Can See Everything is now playing in theaters.
