It’s by far the best possible alternative, I’ve been all over South America looking for certain parts of the movie, I scouted them all, but Colombia was the clear winner for many reasons.

I want to say a quick thank you to the Country of Colombia, the City of Bogotá, to all the military, the police, the people, it’s been an amazing experience. Thank you for letting us shoot Mile 22 in Colombia!

Colombia has some amazing locations, an amazing crew…and what it means to me to be here is that it will forever remind me of this time of my life and it’s been incredibly special.

I have met people of tremendous talent in my department, people with a surprising degree of willingness and seriousness in their work.

If there is one word with which I would define my impression of Colombia, it would be exuberance. In everything: in behavior, in the professional field. Everything seems warm to me and this makes the film be full of life.
