Just as Stenz is about to fire the Javelin, Cale shoulder blocks him into a chimney, a series of semi-realistic elbows and knees are exchanged, but as Cale gets Stenz in a choke hold, it leaves just the briefest instant for him to fire the massive missile launcher.

When they finally fight at full speed, a huge fan blows on them hoping to emulate Black Hawk helicopters that will be flying over the pair at the time (something that's completely illegal in White House airspace, hence CG). At the start of the day, Tatum and Clarke did a few rehearsals of their scuffle in half speed, just to make sure the choreography was fluid. But we can now," said Weigert.įor an example of how the sets and digital effects are being blended on set, we'll go back to the roof fight.

"Just a few years ago, we wouldn't have though of building the entire White House, plus the gardens, everything, in the computer.
It helps Emmerich and his DP, Anna Foerster, visualize the famous geography they're shooting in blue screen. In post, and on the day, they'll be using a prototype NCam system.

Still, the movie will be shot indoors and completed with virtual sets, which visual effects superviors Volker Engel & Marc Weigert are both advising on. Plus Emmerich had been in the depths of the White House almost two decades ago when Bill Clinton asked him to screen Independence Day and they had an in with a member of John McCain's family. (as much as was legally possible, at least, which isn't much) and took the public tour multiple. Almost all of the crew did location scouting and research in D.C. (The reason? Emmerich felt, since movie takes place over just a few hours, weather was too hard to predict on location). Then there's the small detail that none of the actors or crew will ever set foot in Washington D.C. It's meant to be a re-enactment of what's potential," Petruccelli said. I hope to God they come and say we're damn close, but it's not meant to be disruptive to anything.
It's not going to jeopardize national intelligence, necessarily. But they were aware, and made suggestions where they were needed. A lot of that was thanks of the White House Historical Society, who provided details on much of the artwork, furnishing, and provided guidance over "architectural dignity." Ultimately, the film will have no official government stamp of approval however. We all know the visages, the press room, the Oval Office, but White House Down will go to places other films have never gone and it was up to Petruccelli to make sure everything was as accurate as possible. Plus, it's the White House, so it's both totally familiar to most and but also infinitely mysterious. And really it's just a matter of the scale and the magnitude of the undertaking was so enormous." All in all and 65% of the White House itself will be built in one way, shape or another. The effects crew came from London and Quebec, Toronto, and LA. "We've hired from all over Canada, all over the US, London. "I have 32 set designers running seven days a week for five weeks plus we had 200-300 different tradesmen working seven days a week, plus crews at night," said Petruccelli. We kind of said 'C'mon, we can't less this pass.'"Īll in all 45 total sets are being worked on over two and half months by 32 set designers and innumerable laborers. "We're staring at the calendar and, in the middle of the year, the Fourth of July weekend is looking at us the whole time. "This is a movie about the White House, directed by the director of Independence Day," said producer Harald Kloser. A more Roland Emmerich appropriate release date. However, everyone felt it was worth it not only for their star but a more exciting release date. Petruccelli, described as "the hero of our film" by producer Brad Fischer, was tasked not only with recreating the entire White House, but its grounds, the Pentagon, Capitol Building and more. They decided to cut a planned 15 weeks of pre-production to eight, a nightmare for production designer Kurt Petruccelli. "I guess everyone was stoked enough about Chan that they bent over backwards and made it work. "Sony had to weigh the option of, if we're going to do this movie with Channing, we have to move everything up to make it happen," said Tatum's producing partner and the film's executive producer Reid Carolin. That, of course, was dependent on Tatum meeting Emmerich, which happened as the actor had a one-day, pre-vacation layover in New York and Emmerich diverted his flight from Los Angeles to Germany.
