Among the locations that were used as filming locations for Under the Banner of Heaven was Inglewood’s Lantern Light Church, which, despite having a big snowfall the day before shooting, served as a stand-in for Miami, Florida.
“We had a couple people going with blow torches and snowblowers trying to get rid of all the snow, we had fake palm trees we put up, we had fake greenery, and we had everyone stay in their houses or go out for the day,” recalled James.
“At the end of the day, we really made it look like it was in Florida—it did not feel like it was Florida, it was minus 23 that day—but we made it work.” |
Outside the house where the murder was set, it was wintertime and all of the trees had lost their leaves. We watched the crew members adding leafy branches to a tree out front that was in the shot, branch by branch. Manual, time consuming, not so glamorous.
It was pretty funny to drive by afterwards and see that one lone leafy tree, the green jumped out dramatically from the subdued palette of Calgary winter
