Not only does the action take place more than 300 years in the past \u2013 in 1719, to be precise \u2013 but it also occurs in an entirely different setting: the Native American Comanche Nation.<\/p>\n
Across all aspects of production, attempts were made to ensure the film was as detailed and accurate as possible<\/a>, and this extended to choosing appropriate locations at which to film \u2013 read on for everything you need to know.<\/p> Prey<\/a> was shot largely in the Stoney Nakoda Nation near Calgary in Alberta, Canada \u2013 with additional filming taking place at various locations in and around Calgary, including Moose Mountain and Elbow River.<\/p>\n According to the film\u2019s production notes, permission was granted by Indigenous leaders to film on their ancestral lands during a private Pipe ceremony the day before filming began, with director Dan Trachtenberg, producer Jhane Myers, and cast members Amber Midthunder<\/a>, Dakota Beavers, Stormee Kipp, and Stefany Mathias all participating.<\/p>\n During the ceremony, Myers proclaimed, \u201cThe 20th Century Studios, the Production and our parent company Walt Disney Studios would like to acknowledge that we have gathered on the ancestral lands of the Stoney Nakoda Nation which are the Bands of the Bearspaw First Nation, the Chiniki First Nation and the Wesley First Nation.<\/p>\n \u201cWe acknowledge them as the First peoples of this land on which our production cast and crew community proudly works and creates.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s worth noting that the entirety of the shoot was filmed in outdoor locations using only natural light, something which Trachtenberg felt was especially vital in creating the film\u2019s unique mood.<\/p>\n \u201cI think every place in the world has its own quality of light, and Calgary just looked phenomenal,\u201d he says in the production notes. \u201cThere are not too many places in the world that have a special physical setting and a quality of light that is incredibly special, too.<\/p>\n \u201cShooting in Calgary not only gave us incredibly grand landscapes, but also a very special long-lasting golden hour. We could shoot a lot of the movie to feel like dawn or dusk; even its broad sunlight looks unlike any other place in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, producer Jhane Myers exclusively told RadioTimes.com<\/a>, \u201cThe locations were beautiful because even though this is a movie that was headed for streaming with Disney Plus and Hulu, it was still shot in the big cinematic style.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I think that\u2019s really important, because we didn\u2019t have a small budget, we didn\u2019t scrimp on budget, we did shoot on these beautiful locations just to add the beauty to the film.<\/p>\n Myers\u2019s own expertise \u2013 she is Comanche herself \u2013 also came in very handy in terms of making sure the locations used were accurate.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Comanches \u2013 we\u2019re nomadic,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo that\u2019s why it takes place in the Great Plains, and we\u2019re a horse culture, so you can see that and you can see that in the camps where we have horses.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I originally saw the first script, there were no horses in it. And I said, \u2018You can\u2019t have Comanches without horses!\u2019 So that\u2019s where that came in!\u201d<\/p>\n Prey is available on Disney Plus<\/a> from Friday 5th August 2022 \u2013\u00a0sign up to Disney Plus for \u00a37.99 a month or \u00a379.90 a year<\/a>\u00a0now.\u00a0<\/strong>Check out more of our\u00a0Movies<\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0TV Guide<\/a>\u00a0to see what\u2019s on tonight.<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times magazine is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0and get the next 12 issues for only \u00a31.
