To Catch a Killer is currently earning plenty of attention following its streaming debut with fans of the movie asking where the police thriller was filmed.
The filming locations used when making a movie are often essential for helping to set the tone of a film and for a moody crime thriller such as To Catch a Killer, which has just arrived on Hulu in the US and Netflix in Canada, they are vitally important.
To Catch a Killer plot preview
To Catch a Killer was originally released in select theaters in April 2023.
But in August, it was added to the Hulu streaming service in the US and Netflix in Canada, giving it a new lease of life.
Set in Baltimore on New Year’s Eve, To Catch a Killer tells the story of Eleanor (Shailene Woodley), a young and talented police officer with a troubled past.
When an expert sniper suddenly begins a mass killing spree, she is recruited by the FBI’s chief investigator Lammark (Ben Mendelsohn) to help profile and track down the elusive shooter.
Where was To Catch a Killer filmed?
To Catch a Killer was filmed in and around Montréal within the province of Quebec in Canada.
That’s right, despite the film being set in Baltimore, Maryland in the US, the production team ventured north of the border into Canada.
Filming on the project took place between January 27 and March 10, 2021, with the film originally titled Misanthrope before it was renamed to its current title before release.
According to The Cinemaholic, several locations from across Downtown Montréal feature in the film, with plenty of shots of the city’s skyline being shown throughout the film.
One particularly notable location that can be spotted during the film is the lavish Bar George, a restaurant specializing in British and Scottish cuisine, although with a Québécois twist.
Other projects filmed in Montréal
Like many cities throughout Canada, Montréal has been a popular location with film crews for many years and over 8,000 titles have been filmed there.
These include Prime Video’s Jack Ryan, Netflix’s The Recruit as well as the films, Catch Me If You Can, John Wick: Chapter 2, Arrival, Scream VI, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts and several recent entries in the X-Man franchise.
To Catch a Killer is available to stream on Hulu in the US and Netflix in Canada after landing on the streaming services in August 2023.
