Where was the movie “Trigger Warning” starring Jessica Alba filmed?

Parker begins to suspect that the accident was no accident. As she digs deeper, she realizes that she may not be able to trust anyone in her small town – and that she may have to fight her way to the truth. This action movie is full of thrilling scenes!

Trigger Warning, which also stars Mark Webber and Anthony Michael Hall, focuses more on action and plot than setting. However, since the film never reveals where Parker’s fictional hometown of Creation is, viewers may be left wondering where the film is set and where it was filmed.

Trigger Warning was filmed in various locations in central and northern New Mexico, as well as on sound stages at Albuquerque Studios, owned by Netflix. The town of Creation is fictional and a mix of various locations in New Mexico.

Co-screenwriter Josh Olson described Creation as an archetypal Western/Southwestern town, according to Decider. Filming locations included Zia Pueblo, a small Native American town 40 miles north of Albuquerque. Other filming locations included Lamy, Española, Los Cerrillos, Madrid, Albuquerque and Santa Fe.

Jessica Alba shares her experience in filming the fight scene

In a recent interview, Alba told Decider about her experience filming a key fight scene in a real hardware store in New Mexico. She explained that they returned to the hardware store specifically for this scene because it was a convenient location.

Jessica Alba told the outlet, “Everything was practical, and it’s always more demanding when you’re doing this kind of action where it’s very down to earth – a lot of hand-to-hand combat – and it takes place in a practical location. It was exactly what it looked like. It smelled like hay and corn feed in there and there was Carhartt stuff on the walls, mixed in with the chaps and all the different supplies you need on a farm. It was real!”

Who is the star cast of Trigger Warning?

Alba stars alongside Mark Webber as Sheriff Jesse Swann, Parker’s ex-boyfriend and the son of the Senator she reunites with to investigate her father’s death. Anthony Michael Hall plays Senator Ezekiel Swann, the story’s antagonist with criminal ties who is threatened by Parker.

Jake Weary plays Elvis, Parker’s quarrelsome brother, known from Pretty Little Liars and films such as It Follows.
