    It’s called post apocalyptic for a reason. A few years from now, this genre will lose its futuristic aspect

    Think how much they will save on set design after this.

      Reminds me when they used an authentic gold rush town to film Will Smith’s Wild, Wild West and accidentally burned some of the historic buildings to the ground.

        Making a movie by taking advantage of a tragedy in which thousands of people lost their homes and some even their lives is in poor taste. Many of these people are vulnerable and don’t have a safety net, they won’t be able to rebuild their lives after this.

        Remember how The Creator got backlash for using footage of the Beirut explosion?

          Typed from your slave made cellphone from the comfort of your slave sewn clothes… Poor taste indeed.

            Youre right, lets throw away all technology and strip naked because people were abused in the making of them! What a stupid gotcha argument.

                So you’re not a fan of dark humor. That’s fine. I wouldn’t make assumptions about people making obvious jokes though, were I you.

                  Dark humor couples with slave joke 🤔 uh I don’t think this is appropriate.

                  Actually I am i really made the effort to source local and Union made clothing. It was expensive, I have to care for it because I own less pieces. But in the end I didn’t buy it and I still don’t feel guilty.

          So giving them money to use their burned-out land for like, 3 months, is bad? As has always been the case, “poor taste” is exceedingly impractical and negative for society.

          Using real footage of people dying really butts up against the practicality line, but why fake an explosion if it’s already recorded? Same with the train crash thing in a similar vein.

            What if they like put an ad in the newspaper, the people on film who died can write in if they are opposed to it? /S just in case…

    Wasn’t there a movie about war that had to relocate their shoot because of an actual war happening nearby?

      Apocalypse Now

      Filmed predominantly in the Phillippines, a particular clip from the documentary reveals how the helicopters in the film belonged to the Phillippines and were used to fight rebels and insurgents.

      Due to the “civil war in the south”, the narrator (Eleanor Coppola) says, “Every day the government sends different pilots who haven’t participated in the rehearsals, wrecking tens and thousands of dollars worth of shots.”

      Since there were “rumours” about rebels being positioned just ten miles away from the shooting location, the Filipino commanders feared the safety of the cast and crew and remained stationed at the locations.

      Coppola continues, “In the middle of a complicated shot, the helicopters [later revealed to be five in number] were called away to fight the rebels.” This led to a delay in the filming schedule.

      My wife would have been a child in the 1979 Philippines. I’ll have to ask her about all that.

        Shouldn’t it be tens of thousands of dollars? So it’s like $2,000 dollars and $40 bucks?

          I take it to mean, “…sometimes wrecking thousands, even tens of thousands…” Poor wording, but it’s a quote, what you gonna do?

      For Full Metal Hacket they flew palm trees to England because of Kubrick’s fear of flying. I think the war was over though.

    That’s a really cool picture. With the red, and the out of focus, and the pipboy. Costume design was on point in that show.
