The Amity Dome Movie Review

To celebrate the release of Insurgent let’s take a look at things you probably didn’t know about the big-screen adaptation of Veronica Roth’s best-selling novel. The Amity set was built in Serenbe a sustainable community about minutes southwest of Atlanta. Despite bad weather it took the film’s crew just six weeks to build the -acre Amity set. More than people worked seven days a week to create the Amity Dome with its central tree build a crumbling concrete freeway overpass and modify the stables at Serenbe. Dozens of crew also planted vegetables flowers and grass crops. The Amity dome was a large structure made of wood and glass. It measured feet tall and feet around and the crew only just managed to complete it on the morning it was needed for filming. Prosthetics make-up artist Margie

In the novel Chicago’s Merchandise Mart is home to Candor Headquarters. But the filmmakers created Candor in Atlanta’s AmericasMart. The filmmakers closed down part of Peachtree Street the main street in Atlanta so they could safely film a complicated attack sequence at Candor Headquarters. The scene involved stuntmen abseiling off buildings as well as firing weapons while zip-lining from nearby rooftops to the rooftop of the AmericasMart building. Although Insurgent was mainly shot in Atlanta the production also filmed briefly in Chicago. The Chicago shoot involved opening all the bridges at once over the Chicago River and stopping all its boat traffic. Well there you have it things you probably didn't know about Insurgent!
