Here is a detailed look at the filming locations of 'Darkness of Man'.
Los Angeles, California
The plot of 'Darkness of Man' revolves around the Los Angeles drug mafia and the film therefore is set and shot extensively in Los Angeles, California.
Los Angeles perhaps has the best film infrastructure in the world with the equipment and technicians along with studios. The city has often been the subject of many films, particularly the neo-noir films set in the city.
Los Angeles is pivotal to this film's plot too and shooting in the city allowed its actor Jean-Claude Van Damme to stay close to his family.
In an interview with Hollywood Reporter, he said "Yeah, I’m going to be close to my family and close to my … so many dogs. It’s so nice to be at your own house. I’ve been living in hotels for 20 years."
The film's director James Cullen Bressack further added "What’s also very exciting is that we’re shooting in LA, which has a very distinct look. And it’s great to bring JC back to where his roots are, and he hasn’t done a film in LA in a very long time", as per Hollywood Reporter
Santa Clarita, California
Some portions of the film have also been shot in Santa Clarita, California. The location is known for the Six Flags Magic Mountain which is an amusement park that attracts plenty of tourists from all over the world.
The city is known for being a popular destination for filmmakers because of its locations and regulations that support filmmaking. It even has a Netflix show partly named after it 'Santa Clarita Diet'.
