Sydney Hosts 'Play Dirty' Film Production Despite NYC Setting
Sydney, Australia, has played host to a new film production, 'Play Dirty', despite its setting in New York City. The movie, set to release on Amazon Prime Video, features Mark Wahlberg, LaKeith Stanfield, and Rosa Salazar. The city's diverse landscapes and comprehensive public transit system made it an ideal location for the news-worthy production.
The film, written and directed by Shane Black, known for his work on 'Iron Man 3' and 'The Nice Guys', was entirely shot in and around Sydney. Key locations include Sydney Harbor, Ku-ring-gai Council, and the Hills District. The production team took advantage of Sydney's shoulder seasons of spring and autumn, providing the best weather conditions for first-time visitors to enjoy the city's various tours, outdoor markets, museums, and gorgeous beaches.
Despite the film's New York City setting, Sydney's exotic environments, crystal blue waters, and clear skies devoid of skyscrapers created a unique backdrop for the movie. The production team had to shut down large city blocks and use fake snow and slush for outdoor scenes, showcasing their commitment to authenticity.
'Play Dirty' is set to offer viewers a unique cinematic experience, thanks to Sydney's diverse landscapes and the production team's dedication to authenticity. The city's comprehensive public transit system made it easy for the cast and crew to navigate during the filming process. With the movie set to release on Amazon Prime Video, audiences can look forward to enjoying the fruits of this international collaboration.
