Danger! Danger! Behind the Scenes - The Production Design
Production Design is so important to any film. On our first film, The West and the Ruthless, we wanted the film to have an authentic look - meaning real guns, real boots, real stagecoaches. For Danger! Danger! we wanted the look to feel a bit more 1980s action-adventure movie. Something that could have come from Mad Max or Aliens. We worked with Steel Gohst, who was already creating amazing weaponry like this to bring the guns to life.
For the skeletons and cadavers in Danger! Danger! we wanted a Temple of Doom feeling. Something so over the top, that they’re part of the adventure.
We worked with Dapper Cadaver, who had previously worked on Stranger Things and films like Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man’s Chest and Jurassic World, on these effects.
Speaking of spacesuits, we also worked with the brilliant folks over at Global Effects, who had just wrapped Ad Astra and First Man. We were able to use these authentic NASA replicas and bring our own “One Eyed Willie” moment in the film to life and have it look amazing.
