Where it was filmed 'The Predators'

In the Rome of The Predators, a jungle that stretches from the countryside to the centre, everyone is a victim and, at the same time, a killer.

The Pavones live and operate in the residential areas of Rome: they reside in piazza Santissimi Apostoli in the very centre of the city. Pierpaolo Pavone (Massimo Popolizio) is a doctor, his wife Ludovica (Manuela Mandracchia) is a film director – we see her working on a set in piazza di Siena, in Villa Borghese – and their 25 year old son Federico (Pietro Castellitto) is a researcher passionate about Nietzsche working for a powerful superior at the Università La Sapienza.

An accident in via Belgio, in the Villaggio Olimpico area, connects the Pavones with the Vismara family who own a gun shop in corso Regina Maria Pia in Ostia. Through the Vismaras, we visit the more suburban areas of the city, in particular Ostia, with its pier in piazza dei Ravennati, piazzale Amerigo Vespucci (the station), lungomare Toscanelli and also via dei Timoni where Claudio (Giorgio Montanini) lives, via del Lido di Ostia, Ines’ house (Marzia Ubaldi), and the bar in via dell’Idroscalo. The old lighthouse and lungomare in Fiumicino provide the setting for the shoot-out scene.

The families even spend the holidays differently: the Pavones go to a luxurious farmhouse in Tuscany, actually in Sutri; the Vismaras to a big field in via Furbara Sasso (the Pink Flamingo lakes) in Cerveteri. Other locations include: the Valdese Church in piazza Cavour and the Labirinto cinema, actually Casa del Cinema in largo Marcello Mastroianni, Villa Borghese.
