Drama centers around a terrorist organization and their acts. Expect many scenes in which men with guns raid underground rooms, characters are held at gunpoint, bombs are under construction or explode into huge fireballs, raining glass. The World Trade Center towers are hit by planes and collapse, killing thousands. Victims of bombings, including young children, are seen on stretchers with blood-soaked clothes, burned and hiding under debris.
Parents need to know that The Looming Tower is a drama series about the rise of al-Qaida and anti-terrorism intelligence in America. Violence will likely be parents' main concern with this show. There are many scenes of disturbing violence, including terrorists and law-enforcement officials armed with large machine guns, shooting at crowds or raiding secret rooms, huge bombs that explode in fireballs that rain glass, towers on a recognizable New York City skyline being hit by planes and collapsing, and bomb victims (including children) cowering under debris with terrible burns. Aside from the violence, this show moves quickly and doesn't spoon-feed its history to viewers, who'll need to understand some basics about al-Qaida's history, the FBI, the CIA, and counter-terrorism intelligence in America in order to know what's going on. That said, viewers will learn a lot about the inner workings of espionage, law enforcement, and terrorism. Language is also frequent: Expect to hear "f--k," "s--t," "a--hole" and other vulgarities. A man is carrying on three separate relationships with women; we see him kissing each of them and in one scene, he lies on a couch after some sexy talk about his "gun." Adults have wine and cocktails at dinners and parties; no one acts drunk.
Dark, complicated, and frightening, this complex and meaty drama fascinates by filling in the missing pieces in viewers' understanding of 9/11. We all watched the planes flying into the towers; we saw them come down; we witnessed filmed threats made against America by men in shadowy cabals. The Looming Tower tells the rest of the story: the officials who squabbled rather than cooperating, the agents who risked everything to bring back crucial pieces of intelligence that were then ignored, the missed connections and dropped loose ends that eventually led to the terrible events of September 11, 2001.
VFX Supervisor Aaron Raff worked with production during prep and developed pre-visualization of the Twin Towers, to ensure that the dimensions and perspective of the towers remained geographically accurate relative to all filming locations.
Since this shot would be the only time we see the towers up close, our focus was on creating a sense of place that was both evocative and accurate. After extensive scouting, we settled on filming around a large office plaza in downtown Manhattan. Despite what this location offered, the plaza itself was still less than half the depth of the actual WTC plaza. So, in addition to the CG recreation of the towers themselves, this plaza required an extensive digital set extension in order to create a big enough space for the towers to sit it.
