I can hardly wait to see how that one turns out.Cloud Nine The Airshot is the company’s only hairdryer, and complements its larger range of well-regarded straighteners and curling wands. While "Con Air" has put me off beaches for a while, "Wind River" was shot under the worst possible weather conditions: snow one week, blazing hot the next - and then rainstorms! Of course, the two sets did have one thing in common - they presented a nasty hazard for unprepared journalists making visits. "Wind River," whose budget is at most one-thirtieth of that for "Con Air," has had to rely on one-take shoots, unless there was a major blunder by someone. That "do-as-many-takes-to-get-it-right" attitude serves as a stark contrast to many smaller budget productions filming in Utah, especially "Wind River," the fact-based historical drama wrapping up production in Kamas. But some smaller sequences, including a bit where two guards release the door locks on an armored transport car, used almost as many takes before West was satisfied. Given director Simon West's splashy visual style, it should come as no surprise that it took several takes to get that scene right. (Though his character is initially wearing a leather mask and harness that renders him unrecognizable, it is definitely Buscemi.) (I eventually had to get a haircut to remove clumps of sand.)Ĭonsequently, it wasn't exactly a surprise that Buscemi took his time getting to the set from his trailer or that he stayed a good distance away while the winds raged. Even those who were a "safe" distance away caught a few flying particles in their hair, eyes and mouths, including yours truly, who was there doing interviews for an "On Location" article. ![]() Included in the Ogden shoots was a prisoner exchange for homicidal maniac Garland Greene (veteran character actor Steve Buscemi) - which takes place during a driving sandstorm.Ĭrew members unlucky enough to be caught in the path of the hundreds of pounds of sand - which was actually blown about by several huge high-speed fans - suffered windburns and scrapes. ![]() Also on board is Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage), a recent parolee and former Army Ranger, who must stop them. marshal transport plane bound for a high-security prison. The film, from producer Jerry Bruckheimer ("The Rock"), is about a half-dozen or so hardened killers who take over a U.S. Meanwhile, the Ogden-Hinckley Airport subbed for Carson City, Nev. In fact, the Salt Lake International Airport tarmac filled in for the airport in Oakland, Calif., and temporarily housed a fictional U.S. When the multimillion-dollar action thriller "Con Air," which opened nationwide on Friday, needed diverse locations for its principal shoots last summer, the producers chose both the Salt Lake City and Ogden airports, as well as a deserted airstrip in Wendover.However, none of this is mentioned in the film's credits (though it is in the "Con Air" production notes), nor does the film actually take place in Utah. I'm still washing the sand out of my hair - or at least it seems that way.
