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

[-] cmhe@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Hmm... I don't think the apocalypse we get is over that quickly.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Yeah, those in power are really dragging this out.

[-] joostjakob@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Unless of course our luck runs out and someone pushes the nuclear button

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

You might be right but I'm not going to give up hope that easily

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

Considering I will die come the apocalypse, post apocalypse will always be futuristic to me.

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 22 points 1 week ago

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

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] droporain@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 week ago

Or when they smashed that priceless guitar in Django 🤣

[-] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

Honestly, that would be epic.

Too bad the masses will think its in poor taste

[-] tibi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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?

Tarkovski would have used it.

[-] MissGutsy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

From the Wikipedia article of the stalker movie

Several people involved in the film production, and possibly Tarkovsky himself, died from causes that some crew members attributed to the film's long shooting schedule in toxic locations.

Sound designer Vladimir Sharun recalled: "We were shooting near Tallinn in the area around the small river Jägala with a half-functioning hydroelectric station. Up the river was a chemical plant and it poured out poisonous liquids downstream. There is even this shot in Stalker: snow falling in the summer and white foam floating down the river. In fact it was some horrible poison. Many women in our crew got allergic reactions on their faces. Tarkovsky died from cancer of the right bronchial tube. And Tolya Solonitsyn too. That it was all connected to the location shooting for Stalker became clear to me when Larisa Tarkovskaya died from the same illness in Paris."

The production story of that movie was wild

"lets just film Trump and Elon instead of vaulttec"

[-] Zwiebel@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

They missed the most epic shots

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

And it would have added authenticity to the show unlike any other.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] x0x7@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I take it to mean, "...sometimes wrecking thousands, even tens of thousands..." Poor wording, but it's a quote, what you gonna do?

Second season's gonna introduce The Master. They gotta wait for the fires to subside so they can film in the burnt out wreckage of LA for all the shots of the Necropolis they wanna get.

[-] sunglocto@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

According to the canon master died around 2100, show's set around 2290

[-] affiliate@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

do not underestimate bethesdas ability to defy canon

[-] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 points 1 week ago

Good thing canon matters

[-] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

They just got a bunch of new filming locations, so maybe they can make up the time in travel.

[-] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 1 points 1 week ago
