Hypnotic was filmed in California and Texas
Ben Affleck has previously been seen filming a scene with Hala Finley, who plays his daughter, in what appears to be Mueller Lake Park in Austin, Texas. The Mueller development, which sits adjacent to Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios, was built on the city's former airport site in East Austin. The Hollywood production began principal photography in Austin on September 27, 2021, and wrapped on November 19 of the same year.
1) Austin, Texas
The eclectic city of Austin, the capital of Texas, is home to the University of Texas' main campus and is known for its vibrant live music scene. Several locations in Austin were used in filming Hypnotic, such as Troublemaker Studios, owned by Robert Rodriguez, which provided the stage work for the movie.
Republic Square, a public square and urban park, hosted events such as outdoor movies and farmer's markets. Cedar Park, a suburb of Austin located about 20 miles northwest of the city center, was also used for some scenes in the movie.
In addition, the city of Taylor, located in Williamson County, Texas, played a role in the filming of Hypnotic, with notable locations such as Heritage Square Park in the downtown area and Pierce Park, a skate park.
2) Los Angeles, California
Los Angeles, California, is renowned for being the center of the film and television industry in the United States, and it was no surprise that Hypnotic was also filmed in this city.
One of the locations used in the film was Santa Clarita Studios, a fully independent studio situated in Valencia, California, which boasts an impressive 32 sound stages. This studio was reportedly used for filming several scenes in the movie, showcasing the state-of-the-art facilities available for filmmakers in Los Angeles.
Hypnotic cast and characters
Ben Affleck plays the character of Detective Daniel Rourke, a hard-headed, no-nonsense kind of guy with a soft spot for his daughter, Minnie. When she mysteriously disappears, Rourke finds himself spiraling down a rabbit hole while investigating a series of reality-bending bank robberies. His search ultimately calls into question his most basic assumptions about everything and everyone in his world.
Hala Finley plays the character of Dominique Rourke, Danny's daughter, who disappears in front of his eyes. As Danny searches for his daughter, he uncovers a world of psychics and conspiracy that questions his own reality.
Alice Braga (The Suicide Squad) stars as Diana Cruz, a hypnotic with her own psychic powers who is on the run from a secret organization. She joins forces with Danny to find his daughter and take down the evil group responsible for her disappearance.
Meanwhile, William Fichtner (The Dark Knight) plays the main antagonist of the film, a mysterious bank thief and mastermind. Rourke simultaneously pursues and is pursued by the lethal specter, who has become a criminal mastermind thanks to his powers of persuasion.
Hypnotic was filmed in a mix of urban and suburban locations across California and Texas. From the eclectic city of Austin to the bustling film industry hub of Los Angeles, the movie was shot in various unique settings that add to its intrigue and excitement.
Hypnotic will release in theaters only on May 12, 2023.
