Pompeii

Synopsis

"Pompeii is a 2014 3D romantic historical disaster film produced and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson. An international co-production between the United States, Germany and Canada, it is inspired by and based on the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. that destroyed Pompeii, a city of the Roman Empire. . . . The construction of the city was based on the actual ruins of Pompeii. To ensure complete accuracy, any shots of the ancient city would be built upon existing footage of the ruins. Anderson states, 'we would do a real helicopter shot over the ruins of the city so that we knew we were getting the layout of the city correct…Then we would project a computer-generated image over the top of the real photography… That is how we got the architecture of the city precise.'"
