Season 2 of critically-acclaimed alternate WWII outcome series The Man in the High Castle constructed some kind of checkpoint at the University of British Columbia for a night shoot last Friday. Based on Philip K. Dick’s award-winning novel, the Amazon Prime series imagines an alternate reality where the Japanese and Germans won World War II and divided the United States into three regions — the west coast as the Japanese Pacific States, the Rockies as a neutral zone and the east coast as the Greater Nazi Reich. This set is in the Japanese Pacific States, circa the early 1960s.
Produced by Ridley Scott and Frank Spotnitz (The X-Files), the series stars Alexa Davalos as Juliana Crain, Rupert Evans as Frank Frink, Luke Kleintank as double agent Joe Blake and Rufus Sewell as SS Obergruppenführer John Smith. Sewell was nominated for a Critics Choice Award for his season 1 performance.
