The new World War II fantasy horror film "Warhunt", starring Mick Locke, was also filmed during the new crown pneumonia, and the film recently completed filming. Filming continued in Riga, the capital of Latvia, in compliance with local government requirements for epidemic prevention, including staff wearing masks and gloves, checking their temperature twice a day, maintaining social distancing, and disinfecting the cameras.
One of the film's producers, Yu-fai Suen, said that Miki's schedule was adjusted due to the pandemic, "The borders of Latvia are ready to be closed, we have to adjust the itinerary for Miki Locke, fortunately, he agreed to fly over before the border was closed, so we adjusted the shooting schedule." He gave an example of prevention and control measures during the epidemic, "For makeup, each actor has a separate makeup bag, makeup artists only use exclusive makeup brushes and cosmetics for each person, etc., and all makeup artists wear masks." ”

Mauro Borrelli, the director of "The Hunt", is from Italy, and for this special shooting experience, he believes that "all this was very unreal at first, and then Cass and the crew quickly adapted to masks and other measures, and we ended up concentrating more and more efficient than before." Sun Yuhui also said that the Latvian government allows them to continue to shoot movies and TV series while complying with the same epidemic prevention requirements.
Robert Kneipp (the "t-bag" in Prison Break), Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Series), and others also starred in the film, "The Hunt" tells the story of an elite group of American soldiers engaged in a covert operation during World War II. Trapped in the Black Forest of Germany, they encounter a group of witches.
The director has previously worked for the art departments of many Hollywood blockbusters, including two Pirates of the Caribbean films, Captain America and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, among others, and he describes The Hunt as "a powerful metaphor for war and evil, with very iconic characters."
