Anyone see it differently?
Nary a SoCal location is listed in the IMDB for the new production: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1492030/locations |
One of the very first things I noticed as young man when I came to visit the west coast was the light, that somehow it was different from what I had grown up with in the midwest and east coast. The contrast between light and shadow seemed much sharper to me, almost like changing the contrast controls on a TV to a much sharper setting. Even the smog didn't fade that lighting all that much. Some people won't know the difference watching this version filmed elsewhere, or care I guess, but it will be a little distracting to me.
