In June 2021, Baldwin spoke with The Hollywood Reporter about the effects they were able to do with a limited budget. “I haven’t run across a field trying to catch the sun to shoot in a long time,” he said at the time.
“They don’t have money for a lot of effects, this is not a Spielberg production. They had to find a way to simulate it and do it at a low cost, and they did,” he continued. “We’re going to say ‘action’ and get out of this van and oh my god, they’re blowing this stuff at us like you wouldn’t believe.”
