Production designer Sarah Greenwood didn’t expect to find herself on the fringes of the Arctic Circle while shooting 2011’s “Hanna,” the story of a teenage girl raised in the wilderness to be an assassin. “We weren’t originally planning to go to Finland,” she says, recalling the pre-production for a film meant to shoot in Germany.
Greenwood, director Joe Wright and cinematographer Alwin Küchler had been scouting locations in Bavaria, lured by a generous tax rebate and assurances that the region would be suitable for the movie’s winter scenes. But they arrived to melting snow and driving rain. A frozen lake they’d planned to shoot on couldn’t support the crew’s weight. “You just knew it was going belly up,” she says.
Küchler, who had recently worked in Finland, suggested they try their luck with Finnish Lapland instead: a vast, wintery wilderness with more than 200 days of annual snow cover.

If I was Al Gore I.d already be pitching An Inconvenient Truth 2, because over the course of the last 12 months Hollywood studios have felt the full brunt of global warming like never before. In particular, three films have found themselves spiraling over budget and having their productions blighted, all because of unpredictable weather conditions that were all the result of unseasonably hot temperatures. Quentin Tarantino.s The Hateful Eight, Alejandro G. Inarritu.s The Revenant, and Baltasar Kormakur.s Everest were each hugely troubled by the ever-changing weather. I know what you.re thinking: surely all it takes is one phone-call to figure out just how hot it is in an area? Well, according to Dow Griffith, a member of the Location Manages Guild Of America, that.s no longer the case. He explained to The Wrap: It used to be you could get data, a local weather person...

Global warming is going from a pet Hollywood cause to a logistic and financial nightmare for film production, numerous entertainment executives told The Wrap. Three high-profile movies suffered significant budget overruns or extended shooting schedules this year thanks to unpredictable weather conditions exacerbated by unseasonally warm temperatures. “It used to be you could get data, a local weather person and a rough idea based on numbers and expertise,” Dow Griffith, a longtime member of the the Location Managers Guild of America, told TheWrap of shooting in climates around the globe.
