War Machine director and co-writer Patrick Hughes says the upcoming Netflix sci-fi action thriller needed to feel like a nightmare come to life.
"To me, it was paramount," Hughes tells GamesRadar+, when asked how important it was to make the movie feel as realistic as humanly possible. "And that was part of the push. Obviously, we have a visual effects VFX component to the film, but everything else was just 100% real, which meant it was real world locations in the real world wilderness, with real world actors doing real world stunts, and then being able to combine that then, we had a lot of gags on set where we'd be knocking trees over in camera and sort of dust machines and gravel and rocks and stuff that that interaction."
