Did you know?!Facts and trivia about The Second Act (2024)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- The shoot was kept entirely secret, and Roland Boissière, owner of the aerodrome where it was filmed, described the production as having the "greatest secrecy" — he did not even know Vincent Lindon had come to film on his property.
- Thierry Bordes of Ciné Passion en Périgord, an association that supports film productions in Dordogne, claims Quentin Dupieux made "the longest tracking shot in the history of cinema" in The Second Act.
- The main location was the aerodrome of Condat-sur-Vézère, a small private airfield still in operation; its building, a former restaurant long used for weddings, was converted over a month by artisan craftsmen.
