About the hostages who were shot

The smiths played an important role in this film. As a modern castle, there are invisible control panels, monitoring equipment, sensors, internal communication systems and electronic safety doors. Every room has surveillance cameras, and the windows are reinforced with steel. "When I saw the script, the house was also a role for me," Wesley said. At first, you will think this is a beautiful mansion, but as you enter the interior, you will find that its huge security system is not so much a residence as a trap. It was used by kidnappers, and the police could not enter to rescue the hostages, and the hostages could not escape from it. This house puts everyone in a dilemma. "

At first, in the script, the Smiths' house was just a typical suburban house. Later, the director Wesley had a whim and thought of a modern castle-like building, which was located in the mountains. Hawk koch, the producer, recalled that he and Slie were looking for a suitable shooting location together. He said, "We came to Topanga Canyon, and we could see the house from a distance. When we drove over, Franco said that was it. Then we looked for it for another two weeks until Franco asked us why we were still looking for it. That's the house. "

In addition to a three-week night shoot in Dopanga Canyon, the crew also filmed in Malibu and Raleigh Studio in Hollywood for four weeks. Wesley likes the limited space and time structure of movies. He said: "The story of the movie happened between one day and one night. I like this kind of movie. Because it happens in a space, you can get close to these characters and have a strong sense of tension. " Wesley also likes shooting at night. He said, "I like working at night. The characters in the film will not only become more mysterious, but also highlight facial expressions. You can control the light, you can control everything, and it is easy to set the foreground and background. Shooting during the day will be affected by the weather and the surrounding situation is very complicated. "

According to producer Kirk, Clash of Fire combines the styles of film noir in the 1940s and 1950s, action thrillers in the 1970s and MV in the 20th century, and is the favorite of director Kirk. Giovanni Coltellacci, an Italian photographer, plays the leading role in this film. He made the film Cheetah. "We talk about light like an expressionist movie," Wesley said. We use a lot of shadows and background light to create a tense atmosphere and mysterious people. The color of this film looks like "The Robbery of Beauty". "
