Still from the Skyscraper official trailer

Below we’ll highlight some of the Skyscraper filming locations, roundup the behind the scenes photos and share the trailer that was released following the Super Bowl last night.

Although it’s set in Hong Kong, Skyscraper filmed in Vancouver and area from August 15th to November 23rd, 2017 and it premieres on July 13th, 2018 in theatres. The movie was written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber, whose other credits include Easy A, We’re the Millers and Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story. Skyscraper centres around an FBI Negotiator named Will Ford, played by Dwayne Johnson.

After an established career in the field, Will ends up severely wounded and loses part of his leg in the process. To make matters worse, he finds himself framed for murder in Hong Kong. His family is then kidnapped and trapped inside the tallest skyscraper in the world which is subsequently set ablaze. In a race against time, Will has to attempt to rescue his family and find out who caused the disaster so he can bring them to justice.

Skyscraper Behind the Scenes Pictures

Some behind the scenes photos shared by the cast and crew while filming Skyscraper in Vancouver.

Friday. 230am. Good people. Hard work. Lining up the shots for the rest of the night with my #SkyscraperMovie director, Rawson Thurber. Proud of this dude. Fresh out of USC Film School, he breaks into Hollywood with a hit movie that he wrote and directed, called, DODGEBALL. He follows that up with another hit movie, WE ARE THE MILLERS. He then follows that up with another hit movie, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE with me and my much bigger twin @kevinhart4real. Refusing to be pigeonholed as a “comedy director”, he goes away for six months and writes a script that is not only reflective of who he is as a man, husband and new father, but also reflective of the kinds of big tent pole movies that have always inspired him from STAR WARS to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC. The script becomes one of Hollywood’s hottest scripts of 2016 causing a huge bidding war (true story) between every studio. The studios who won that war were Legendary Studios and Universal Studios. The name of the script… SKYSCRAPER. This guy has the potential to go down as one of the best true writer/directors ever. Too bad he’s an asshole. Kidding, he’s family to me and literally one of the nicest humans I’ve ever known. Eh he’s still an asshole. #OnSet #RawsonThurber #SkyscraperMovie
