"One of the things I wanted in this script was not set the story against the backdrop of the way we live here in Southern California," saysLoughery. "We think we are safe and secure, but nature has her own ideas.
"The community where Abel, Chris and Lisa live, built right into the side of these hills and it is constantly threatened by landslides, earthquakes and fires," he explains. "In this story, almost from the day they move into this house, it is this sense of this fire, that in the control and slowly approaching. As the drama heats up between these characters, there are these kind of real just above the Apocalypseother side of the hill. "

I must say that our society is very trusting. For here we were, strangers, standing there saying, 'Hey, we know that you have a pool in the back of the house. Can it? ""
"We landed in Walnut, which is a traditional, planned community," says Jones. "It is ultimately much more satisfied our requirements than the alternatives. It had a lot of visual references in the script, especially how tocan see a neighbor's garden to another and from one window to another. "
