A video promoting Apple TV + Mosquito Coast reveals the challenges of filming the third episode of this drama, traveling to real world places. A drama that tells us about the adventures of an American family that travels through the Southwest and towards Central America. In a teaser for the third episode, "Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere," Apple shows the decisions the production made to film the show.
To make the show as realistic as possible on camera, the cast and crew visited locations in Mexico to accurately represent the group crossing the border and heading down into the country. "This has been a very tough shoot", said Justin Theroux, who plays Allie Fox. “There is a way to record a show, from the comfort of Burbank. But if you want it to look like the desert, and get out of Los Angeles a bit. This is very different.
Logan Polish, who plays Dina Fox, said it was a very exciting experience. The production chose a path that served as an experience as similar as possible to the reality of the characters they played. They began filming in California and then moved to the border city of Mexicali to film part of the desert episode.
The experience must have been very hard, because Melissa George, who plays Margot Fox, complained that «often has nightmares thinking about that episode. We had a fantastic director who put us through hell, because that's what they were going through and that's what they decided they would do to us. "
Since last April 30 we can enjoy on Apple TV + of this drama which is a gripping adventure that shows us the dangerous journey of a radical idealist and brilliant inventor, Allie Fox (played by Justin Theroux), who uproots his family to go to Mexico when they suddenly find themselves on the run from the US government.
