"They're at the fringes of the Earth. This was shot near Loch Ness, near Skye. Scotland is like a nature reserve, it's like a park. The visuals are so amazing in that country. It was a nine week shoot: four weeks at the beginning [prepping], a week in the studio, and four weeks on location. I shoot in chronological order, and I shoot as fast as I can because I usually don't have a lot of days."

And it really, *really* looks like it was shot in a warehouse (hence the fog...). On the plusRead More

Tenner says the movie's a piece of crap. It'll get a three star review, it'll deserve two. Read More
