Read the entire article at this link.“We rehearsed our scenes in these really remote mountain locations when there was still snow on the ground,” says Gyllenhaal.
“I had just got my dog before we did the movie. He was running and jumping through the snow, just loving it.”
Gyllenhaal says “the amazing thing is when we returned to actually film in these locations all the snow had gone. It looked entirely different.”
The actor says these locations were “so remote that we rode our horses up a trail each day.”
Several Alberta towns were used for the film including Cowley, Carsland and Rockyford.
“Cowley is the windiest place I’ve ever been to in my life. The wind never stopped blowing. People told us it’s the windiest place in the province and maybe one of the windiest places in the world. I can vouch for that.”
Gyllenhaal recalls driving from his apartment in Calgary to Rockyford near Drumheller as "the straightest road I’ve ever driven on. There wasn’t even a bend in the road."
“Alberta has remarkable country and remarkable people. Everyone was so good to us from the crew to the people in the towns. You really had the sense everyone wanted us there and that they embraced the story we were trying to tell.”
