Given that location is a central mystery inThe Gorge, audiences may be wondering where the movie was shot. Apple TV+’s latest movie isa sci-fi thriller centered around its titular location, a gaping hole in an undisclosed country with mysterious life forms seeping outof it. The Gorge’s cast is led by Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, elite snipers hired by a mysteriousorganization named Dark Lakeon a contract to prevent those life forms from escaping into the real world.
One of the movie’s primary questions is the secrecy surrounding the Gorge and the lore behind its creation. The fact that the main characters don’t even know what country they’re in, only managing to narrow it down to somewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, raises some alarm. Themovie’s filming locations allowed for the beautiful natural scenery, but they probably don’t represent where the Gorge was meant to be in the movie’s world.
