The Welsh locations transformed for Netflix thriller

by Theodore

Although it is set in an unnamed US city, the whole of Netflix's new thriller Havoc – including shootouts and car chases – was filmed in Wales.

Starring Tom Hardy as a "jaded" detective, the film tells the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong.

Gareth Evans, the Welshman who directed the action film, said recreating the USA in south Wales was "challenging", but he wanted to bring work to the area.

"I started going around, like, Swansea, Port Talbot, Cardiff and Newport, looking for any little bit of architecture that I could find that might pass as a little bit Americana," he said.
