But that's not my idea, it's just who the guy is, the real Ralph Sarchie. We're crossing into two genres that don't normally go together. Scott Derrickson: That was the interesting thing to me. How's the adjustment been to an urban setting? You've been doing rural and suburban horror with Sinister and The Exorcism of Emily Rose. It makes the movie look bigger and more expensive than it is. Ralph was a cop in the 46 precinct for over a decade. And it's where the real guy - Ralph Sarchie - did his work. Shooting here, there's no place in the world that looks like it. There's just no place that looks like the Bronx. We've lost a lot of time because of the rain. Scott Derrickson: (laughs) No, although the rain has been hard on us. Scott was really upbeat considering how the rain was affecting the shooting schedule:Īre you regretting shooting in the Bronx because of all the rain? In walks Scott Derrickson, the film's director and screenwriter. The team of journalists camped out on church pews while they set up a table for the first interview. It seemed the perfect location to film a horror movie. The whole setting was eerie, especially with the lightning and thunder crackling above us. Inside the church, the extras and crew huddled by the craft table to escape the weather. The row houses and small yards leads to a relatively cramped, urban setting.
Many of these buildings where built over a hundred years ago. The on set publicists led us to a small church across the brownstone where filming was taking place. I felt so bad for the gaffers and production assistants running around in the freezing rain. The movie business may seem glamorous, but the reality is a lot of hard work in sometimes terrible conditions. People were huddling under tents, hiding in doorways, doing their best to set up shots in the deluge. The cast and crew were absolutely soaked by the massive storm hitting New York City.
A crane with a lighting rig was illuminating an entire block. The film was shooting where the I-95 intersects Bruckner Boulevard in the South Bronx. We arrive on set during the middle of the night in a torrential downpour.
