Where were the Netflix movies continue Was it photographed?
continue was filmed on location at an airport, but that airport was not LAX. instead, carry-oThe film was shot in an old disused wing of Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, also known as MSY, in New Orleans, Louisiana. In this work, they took over an unused terminal at an airport and transformed it into LAX.
In a recent interview with Decider, star Sofia Carson said: We were physically inside the airport and we were so excited. The entire airport has been transformed to look and feel exactly like LAX. ”
Director Jaume Collet-Serra said in an interview. continue In the production notes, they agreed with this sentiment, but added that the location also posed challenges. “It was such a thrill to have the entire space at our disposal and explore all the areas of the airport that we wouldn't normally see as a passenger. It's inevitably difficult to shoot a movie in one location.
The director went on to explain that he used “interesting camera rigs, lenses, reflections, and distortions” to create variety between shots. Films were free to use the terminal and even filmed on the tarmac, but the filmmakers were not allowed access to any functional parts of the airport. If I didn't, I risked breaking the law.
To transform MSY into LAX, production designer Diane Lederman paid attention to detail. “When this terminal closed, everything was dysfunctional and dilapidated,” Lederman said in an interview in the film's press notes. “A big part of our job was to bring it back, but we also wanted that level of realism, so we visited some of the iconic shops and restaurants that are unique to Los Angeles, like Lemonade and Pinkberry, and we… We asked them if they would be willing to partner with us and lend us their signboards.''
But when it came to security technology, productions had to create their own props. “There is no need to rent or purchase the actual machines that TSA uses,” Lederman explains. “They cost hundreds of thousands of dollars and there's a waiting list for years. That's not happening. So we've had to make it all ourselves. We manufacture, paint, , we had to create a mold through repeated polishing to create an incredibly sophisticated machine, much like the modern baggage scanners found in modern airports.”
The production also consulted with real TSA and LAX employees to ensure the film looked as realistic as possible. “They read the script and gave us notes if what we wrote wasn't accurate to actual airport procedures,” Collet-Serra said in the same interview. “Before filming the movie, they had the actors undergo proper TSA training. And if anything wasn't realistic, they gave us advice on set.”
Collette-Serra said she certainly learned a lot about the TSA and the inner workings of modern airports. “I was very impressed by the rigor of the training that all airport personnel undergo, as well as the detail and specificity of the chain of command for important safety decisions at the airport.”
