Mord in Zelle 3

Mord in Zelle 3 (1982)

Fast-Walking

Ein Job im Gefängnis erlaubt keine großen Sprünge. Der Aufseher "Fast Walking" Miniver (James Woods) zögert nicht, als man ihm gleich zwei lukrative Geschäfte anbietet: Weiße Rassisten wollen eine große Summe für die Ermordung des einsitzenden Schwarzenführers William Galliot (Robert Hooks) zahlen. Dessen Freunde jedoch wollen gleichzeitig für seine Flucht bezahlen… James Woods ist in gewohnt guter Form, kann den teils schwarzhumorigen Film aber nicht gänzlich retten.

Wissenswertes

Fast-Walking is a 1982 American prison drama film directed, produced, and written by James B. Harris, based on Ernest Brawley's 1974 novel The Rap. The film stars James Woods, Tim McIntire, Kay Lenz, Robert Hooks, and M. Emmet Walsh.

Production

The idea of the film came from producer and director James B. Harris, who read a book called "The Rap" by Ernest Brawley. Harris wrote the screenplay shortly after reading the book. In June 1980, Lorimar Productions sold the rights to the film, & preparation's began. The location crew chose the vacant old Montana State Prison building in Deer Lodge, Montana.

In the coming days, officials begin screening extras. The arts foundation began restoring the prison building for the restoration project. However, due to heavy rains & volcanic ash fallout from the eruption of Mount St. Helens on May 18, work was delayed.

James Woods had signed on to play the prison guard, Frank Miniver, nicknamed Fast-Walking, & was "ecstatic" after learning the movie would be filmed in Montana.

On a budget of $4 million, principal photography began on July 7, 1980, at the prison. Some filming was done in and around the town of Deer Lodge for several weeks. The crew then traveled to the Bus Depot in Butte, Montana, to film several scenes for 2 days. Filming was then completed in August.
