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.

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.
