Covid has played havoc with production schedules across the globe, and for the first major Russian movie to shoot on location in Europe since the pandemic struck last year, it’s been a case study in compromise and adaptation.
Restrictions on crew movements, the director’s Covid infection and a delay by local authorities in granting permission to shoot on location in Germany have combined to push the schedule of the €10 million ($11.8 million) historical drama “Nuremberg” back by a year.
The film — an international co-production with Russia, the Czech Republic, Germany and the U.K. — incorporated Covid safety protocols in order to shoot on location near Prague, which is buzzing with productions right now. But ambitious plans to shoot in the actual prison that housed top Nazis during the post-wwii Nuremberg trials in 1946 have been put on hold after local authorities deemed the idea too risky as Covid cases rose in Germany.
