Ethan Hawke discusses practical filming methods for The Weight
Ethan Hawke spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about his new film The Weight and its release on September 18.
Filming in real locations
Hawke stated that the production took place deep inside the Bavarian Forest. This location stood in for a 1930s Oregon wilderness setting within the story. The actor emphasized that placing actors in an actual place creates an unreplicable quality.
Critique of digital backdrops
The performer argued that allowing computers to make movies cheapens the whole thing. He noted that green screen versions would be a lesser version of films like Training Day. Hawke believes exceptional writing is required if digital methods are used instead.
