Renegades: filming in Hum and Grožnjan
Renegades is an action thriller about a search for gold in a Bosnian lake. Its Croatian filming locations included Hum and Grožnjan in Istria.
Croatian filming and the Istrian locations
Hum stood in for a small Bosnian village connected with the hidden treasure. Its castle features among the filming locations, while a town street in Grožnjan also served as a set.
Filming in Croatia ran from 17 June to 24 July 2015, with local production support from PAKT Media. Outside Istria, the crew used urban locations too: Karlovac and the Zagreb Fair grounds represented Sarajevo in 1995.
Gold bars at the bottom of a lake
The story follows a team of US Navy SEALs who learn of gold submerged in a Bosnian lake while on a mission in war-torn Europe. They decide to recover it and return it to impoverished residents. Once the enemy discovers them, they have only a few hours to complete the operation.
Steven Quale directed the film from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Richard Wenk, with EuropaCorp and Studio Babelsberg producing. The cast includes Sullivan Stapleton, J. K. Simmons, Charlie Bewley and Sylvia Hoeks. Renegades reached Croatian cinemas on 8 February 2018, almost three years after filming in the country.
