Ethan Hawke & Russell Crowe Star in Gritty Western Thriller ‘The Weight’

Filming for The Weight took place over six weeks in the Bavarian Forest of Germany, which served as a stand-in for Oregon. Ethan Hawke told Entertainment Weekly it was “one of the hardest summers of [his] life.” He explained that while the movie doesn’t have a lot of traditional action, it was incredibly draining, especially just worrying about ticks while filming in the water and woods.
