Out of Death Filming Locations
‘Out of Death’ was filmed in its entirety in the US, specifically in the Caribbean Island of Puerto Rico. The film was originally slated to begin production in April 2020, but the schedule got derailed due to the worldwide onset of the pandemic. However, in a massive feat, the production unit filmed the show in November 2020 within a span of nine days. Bruce Willis finished shooting his scenes in a single day. Let us now take you to the specific location where the film was shot!
San Juan, Puerto Rico
‘Out of Death’ is one of the first films to commence shooting after the global lockdown restrictions were eased. The director took his team to the isolated location of the Caribbean Islands. The crew filmed the entire movie on location in San Juan, the capital city of the unincorporated US territory of Puerto Rico. A brimming metropolis that doubles as a coveted tourist spot due to its exotic location by the Atlantic Ocean, the city provides an ideal environment for series creators and filmmakers.
From Johnny Depp starrer ‘The Rum Diary’ to Richard Gere‘s ‘The Hoax,’ the coastal city can be located in many Hollywood productions. Therefore, it is perhaps no wonder that the director thought of San Juan as the setting for his crime thriller. As the city is cut off from the mainland, there was less chance of contamination.
Moreover, the crew took extreme caution to maintain social distancing and other regulatory practices to prevent the spread of the virus. In the course of nine days, they filmed in and around the city while basking in the scenic beauty of the region. On the eve of shooting the climax, however, the director and his crew had to deal with some difficulties, but they carried the day in the end.
