So filming only lasted a bit over a week...? :? Wouldn't be surprised if it gets dumped on DVD/VOD before the year ends either.

Hey, cool to see Dolph is not the baddie in this one. A bit of change. Although I don't know what to expect of this (the last movie I saw of Wilson, 12 Mighty Orphans, was quite nice, with Martin Sheen).

Jennifer Lopez stars in a movie with more or less the same pitch, "Shotgun Wedding" (with Lenny Kravitz as Dolph's character ? :lol: ).

In the booth for an ADR session. Is the small padded room for sound, or because actors are crazy?

It was fun to revisit the character and great performance from @nickywhelan. It’s like visiting an old friend…who is a sociopath.

Thank you to the amazing team @jenna.tresidder and @p.hay

I know Shotgun Wedding with Jennifer Lopez (which is admittedly more comedy) was released recently as well, but I'm surprised no one has thought of the Die Hard at a wedding before. I just hope this is decent and not a slap dash attempt with poor action. Getting a bit tired of DTV films now, the drop in quality (and budgets) since even 10 years ago is insane.

While I appreciate the unusual pairing with an actor like Luke Wilson, everything about this so far screams "ultra-generic" and very unappealing / uninteresting. My expectations are just above HARD NIGHT FALLING... Thank god this year we have WANTED MAN to look forward to, which allows everything else to be just bearable.

Looks a bit more thriller than action but a different look for a Dolph movie and the production values/cinematography seem decent!

What I suspected looks to be true... Dolph's role appears to have been added in purely because he was available for three days. His character looks completely tangential and out of place. Very similar to how he was utilized in SECTION 8.

The producers confirmed that the entire film was shot in a mere 10 days (not 18 or 14 but 10)!
