Killing Season (film) The project was originally set in the 1970s and titled Shrapnel. It was being considered by John Travolta and Nicolas Cage as a project to follow up on their film Face/Off and by director John McTiernan as a directing vehicle.[11] Subsequently renamed and modified to take place in modern-day Appalachia,[12] and co-financed and co-produced by Corsan, Nu Image and Millennium Films, filming began on January 16, 2012,[4][5][6][13] in the Appalachian Mountains of north Georgia.[2] Major filming was scheduled for Tallulah Gorge State Park and Black Rock Mountain State Park. The locations in Rabun County were chosen by director Mark Steven Johnson to create the effect and mood he had previously seen in the film Deliverance.[3] Other minor filming locations included Sofia, Bulgaria,[14][15] Sweetwater Creek State Park,[16] and the Pine Mountain Gold Museum in Stockmar Park, Villa Rica.[17] International sales for Killing Season, offered by the American Film Market, commenced on November 2, 2011, in Santa Monica.[13] American cellist/singer/songwriter Ben Sollee contributed solo cello performances as well as an original song,[18] "Letting Go",[19] for the end credits.
