Bond in the Aston Martin DB10 is chased through the streets and towpaths of Rome by Hinx in a Jaguar C-X75 in SPECTRE. Executive Producer Callum McDougall said: “The towpath along the Tiber was prone to flooding, as it had two weeks prior to the shoot, but we took the gamble and it worked out.

Ryan Murphy says he "demanded" his next two projects shoot in Los Angeles despite the lack of tax incentives, urging filmmakers to "figure out the economic troubles and how to make things in L.A." "I think the mayor [Karen Bass] could do a much better job than she’s done, for one," the showrunner said at #TheShards premiere. "That’s also on the filmmakers to figure out the economic troubles and how to make things in L.A. so that our crews and cast can sleep in their home city, go home and have meals with their families. I have two things shooting, and they’re both going to be in L.A. I demanded that. I made that work economically. The most important thing to me is that it’s up to the individual showrunners and filmmakers to say, 'Hey, we want this.' In my experience, as long as you can figure out a will, there’s a way. And they’re the first people to say, 'Great, we’d love for it to shoot in L.A.' I don’t think that’s the obstacle. It’s always the tax credits."

The Killer (1989) John Woo on shooting the Killer without a script. “‘The Killer,’ I even shot without a script. With no script. Just an outline, the whole movie was in my head. ….most of the action, I choreograph by myself, because I’m a pretty good dancer,” he said, “An action sequence is like I’m making a dancing scene, or I’m dancing with the actors.” Woo said he would sometimes surprise his producer by arriving at a location, very early, with only a general idea of what he needed to shoot. He described once asking for “30 stunt guys and 150 extras.” “And they were asking… Mr Woo, what’s the story about?” he recalled. “I said, ‘I don’t know.’”

VIDEO | Actor Saif Ali Khan says producer Shah Rukh Khan gave the team of "Kartavya" a free hand to make the film the way they wanted. In fact, Shah Rukh was the one who called Saif to inform about the script that they were developing at Red Chillies. "He said, ‘There’s a lovely script, and I would like you to hear it, and do it’. Then I listened to it and met the director. Once the film was complete, he said, ‘It has come out as a lovely movie’. He was very happy,” Saif said. “Sometimes the presence (of Shah Rukh) can be overwhelming on sets and I think he understands that. He gave us room to make the film on our own. I felt I was working for his production with his kind of sensibility,” the actor added. Directed by Pulkit of "Bhakshak" fame, the film stars Rasika Dugal opposite Saif and the actor said he is a huge fan of the "Mirzapur" star. #ShahRukhKhan
