Filming was carried out in quite a few areas in and around Tapanui – not just in Northumberland St/Main St. Some areas used were large, others quite small.
One of the smaller areas used was the gap between the La Hoods/Maddox Pharmacy and the Tapanui Courier/Farmers Supply building.
Main Street, Millhaven
Crew members spent about 2 months working on the shops and the areas surrounding Northumberland Street to turn Tapanui into Millhaven.
Filming in Northumberland/Main Street was mainly concentrated into a period of one week in April 2015 (during which it snowed – on Monday 13th and Tuesday 14th. Some of the Americans had never been in snow before, so this was a new experience for them).

Sycamore Street, Millhaven
One scene required a Forest Ranger vehicle to be driven down Main Street (by Bryce Dallas Howard?). To film this scene, the vehicle was set up on a trailer in Sycamore Street (opposite the Sheriff’s Office).
These two Forest Ranger vehicles have the same registration plates. |
Cemetry Road
Something was happening at the top end of Cemetry Road … |
Most of these vehicles with the action centered (There are mountain bikes available for hire |
were for the crew or cast on the Mountain Bike Track. in Tapanui at Whitechapel Gifts. More details here.) |
A smoke generator and a fan were from which a lot of shouts and |
used to create a fog in the woods… screams were heard. |
