Perhaps no other film in Prague has attracted as much attention as the staff of the action thriller The Gray Man, which in July occupied, for example, Jan Palach Square, Dukelských hrdinů Street in Letná, Dvořákovo and Alšovo nábřeží or Republic Square.
In the streets, there was a large car chase with explosions and gunfire, the center of which was a 14T tram with the inscription Vozovna Bohnice, already chased by a jeep with a machine gun on the roof. However, the tram moved on a car chassis, with Ryan Gosling, the film’s main character, taking part in the action scenes directly in it.
But his stuntmen were more often seen – for example in Republic Square, where Gosling’s figure moved on the roof of the tram, around which the staff staged fiery explosions. Filming aroused the interest of the media and locals, social networks were flooded with footage from the filming. For example, a flying burning police car, which after catapulting to the intersection at the Trade Fair Palace stopped at barricades.

Negative feedback before filming
There was no filming in studios or interior locations. “The center of the Prague shooting was the action scenes, especially with the tram, such an extensive shooting with trams is unparalleled in history. One of the trams that was the Transport Company is returning to him, the other trams were replicas made by us intended for destruction, “said Robert Mehrle, location manager for ČT24.
