We have such sights to show you!

The world changes, we do not, there lies the irony that finally kills us.

365 Movies Challenge #256; Scanners (1981) dir. David Cronenberg: “All right. We’re gonna do this the scanner way. I’m gonna suck your brain dry! Everything you are is gonna become me. You’re gonna be with me Cameron, no matter what. After all, brothers should be close, don’t you think?“

“Basically, how you treat the horse is how you treat yourself. So basically I was like oh, OJ is very still … and he has this connection to the horses, so I had to get very still. As I was getting better at riding, I was getting closer to OJ as a character.” — DANIEL KALUUYA 

Akiva Goldsman decided to move the story from Los Angeles to New York City to take advantage of locations that would more easily show emptiness. Goldsman explained, “L.A. looks empty at three o'clock in the afternoon, [but] New York is never empty … it was a much more interesting way of showing the windswept emptiness of the world.” Warner Bros. initially rejected this idea because of the logistics, but Francis Lawrence was determined to shoot on location, to give the film a natural feel that would benefit from not shooting on soundstages. Lawrence went to the city with a camcorder, and filmed areas filled with crowds. Then, a special effects test was conducted to remove all those people. The test had a powerful effect on studio executives. Michael Tadross convinced authorities to close busy areas such as the Grand Central Terminal viaduct, several blocks of Fifth Avenue, and Washington Square Park.
