WHEN A FILM CREW CRASHED A REAL BOEING 747 PLANE INTO A REAL BUILDING FOR A SCENE; WATCH VIDEO

"I planned to do it using miniatures and set-piece builds and a combination of visual effects and all the rest. However, while scouting for locations in Victorville, California, the team discovered a massive array of old planes," he was quoted as saying in an interview.

"We started to run the numbers … It became apparent that it would actually be more efficient to buy a real plane of the real size, and perform this sequence for real in camera, rather than build miniatures or go the CG route," he added.

"It's a strange thing to talk about – a kind of impulse buying, I suppose. But we kind of did, and it worked very well, with Scott Fisher, our special-effects supervisor, and Nathan Crowley, the production designer, figuring out how to pull off this big sequence in camera. It was a very exciting thing to be a part of," he further said.

"It's so bold to the point of ridiculousness," Robert Pattinson, who stars in the film was quoted as saying.
