The following is a guest post by Zeke A. Iddon.

Every film shoot is unique, and with that brings its own set of unique problems to work through. But what about dealing with extreme levels of toxicity, the brutalities of war, or an environment so humid it’ll kill you within ten minutes?

Here we check out five of the most (potentially) lethal places you could ever hope to shoot a film.

The Somalian Coast (and not for the reason you think)

Although it’s not the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Somalia, its incredible beauty rivals that of Hawaii, the Maldives and New Zealand. On paper, it’s a lovely place for shooting a film.

Of course, the reputation of this borderline failed-state – not to mention the well-publicized rise of piracy in the region – often overshadow the inherent beauty of the Somalian coast. But even if you could put aside the bad press, something sinister still lurks beneath the surface…the Somalian coast is one of the most toxic places on the planet.

American Hustle, aka Abscam Project, aka the Untitled David O. Russell Project, aka American Bullshit, wrapped up filming in the Boston area on Wednesday and will spend the last couple days of production in NYC.

The movie stars Christian Bale as a financial con-man who was caught by an OTT federal agent, played by Bradley Cooper, along with his girlfriend, played by Amy Adams in the 1970s. The couple was offered a deal provided they help turn the tables on other crooks and shady politicians. They ended up taking on a leader of the New Jersey state assembly, played by Jeremy Renner, among others. Jennifer Lawrence and Louis C.K. have also recently joined the cast.

This month Michael Mann is back in the director’s chair for his first feature film in four years.

Mann is currently working on an untitled thriller, aka Cyber, starring Chris Hemsworth, Viola Davis, and Holt McCallany in Los Angeles. There is little known about the plot except it involves American and Chinese forces working together on a case of high-level computer hacking and attacks.

Today, the Untitled Michael Mann Project is filming at 515 S Flower St, Los Angeles (7:00 AM – 10:00 PM).

If you spot the movie filming in L.A., let us know about it at olv@onlocationvacations.com!
