“And a couple of other side benefits happened,” he said. “By being there, we could cast [the show] all throughout Europe, people from Germany, Spain, England … it’s much more difficult to do that in the US. The other thing that helped us is that all the actors that we brought in all stayed together in this strange place, so their offscreen life was very similar to their onscreen life and they bonded a lot.”And there were other advantages to shooting in Serbia, Devlin said.
“The interesting fact is that, before it was Serbia, when it was part of Yugoslavia, the dictator there,, was a gigantic movie fanatic,” he said. “In fact, he financed several movies in the ’50s and ’60s … and started the premiere film school of Eastern Europe, so the craft level of our crew was unlike any place I’ve ever gone before.”
Stellar production facilities also helped establish the intergalactic ambiance of the Ark 1, Devlin said. “The ship itself is a character in the show,” he said.
