VENICE, CA – Spy Hard: Die Hard, Bluebird’s all-action spy thriller puts the “big” in budget. Shot on location around the world, and with 5 Volumes of Agent Missions, this is by far the biggest budget adult release of 2010.
Creator Paul Chaplin said “If you’re going to do an action movie, you have to do it big. What really bumped up the budget was when we started blowing up cars. And not just any cars. The sexy girl Agents of Department S (Sabotage, Surveillance, Seduction) needed to be driving – and dying – in style, so we bought Jaguar sports cars, BMWs and Jeeps. The Finance Department was puzzled as to why we were buying the cars: why not just hire them – they said. The looks on their faces when I explained that we had to buy them – because there wouldn’t be much of them to hand back when we’d finished filming!
“We needed to locate the evil Baron’s headquarters somewhere exotic. So we found this amazing hotel actually built into the cliffs on the sea in a small village in Albania. Nobody’s ever shot adult there before, so there was a big learning curve. The Talent costs were off the scale as we basically used every star girl from the USA, UK and Europe over the 5 Volumes. And because they were using real guns, including live firing automatics, the safety costs alone would have budgeted half a dozen standard movies. Don’t even get me started on the tanks and the helicopter…”
