While most of the industry has been shut down, production pushed forward on Mauro Borrelli‘s World War II fantasy horror Warhunt, starring Mickey Rourke (Angel Heart, Sin City, Nightmare Cinema), writes Variety.
Warhunt follows an elite squad of American soldiers on a secret mission during World War II. Trapped behind enemy lines in Germany’s Black Forest, the men are confronted by a coven of witches.
The film also stars Robert Knepper (“Prison Break”) and Jackson Rathbone (Twilight).
The crew on the project, which shot in Riga, capital of Latvia, were allowed to continue working by abiding by government guidelines, adds the site. These included having to don facemasks and gloves, having their temperature taken twice a day, social distancing, and disinfecting equipment.
“I came to Riga to work and this thing (Covid-19) was so out of control, but everyone was so great,” Rourke shared.
You can read about what kind of changes needed to be made to get the film across the finish line at the aforementioned link.
Borrelli, who has worked in the art department of many Hollywood movies, including two Pirates of the Caribbean films, Captain America: The First Avenger and Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, describes Warhunt as a “wild ride with powerful images; but also a great metaphor about war and its evil, told with powerful iconic characters.”
