"I love that part of filming in nature is that you can only control so much. The fight with nature also starts to make it more interesting, rather than fully controlling everything. I tend to use nature first before we go on to any set. Because then the actor comes informed about what the real challenges are and they can replicate that."
"Many of the scenes were shot in real places around Australia's Blue Mountains, as well as in Canberra and Engadine. Some of climbing and kayaking was recreated on sets, but Kormákur also insisted on pairing those with actual locations."
"First of all, how remote and rugged it feels... And there were logistics from a financial perspective that made it a good fit for the film."
Apex, directed by Baltasar Kormákur, was filmed in the Australian wilderness, primarily in the Blue Mountains, Canberra, and Engadine. The film stars Charlize Theron as Sasha, a rock climber facing the loss of her partner. Kormákur emphasizes the importance of filming in nature, stating it adds authenticity and challenges for the actors. Many scenes were shot in real locations, with Theron performing her own stunts, including a climactic scene at Glenbrook Gorge. The rugged environment contributed to the film's survival theme and the actors' performances.
