Anna Lambe on Filming ‘True Detective: Night Country’ in Frigid, Dark Iceland: “I Was Snug as a Bug in a Rug”
The Iqualuit, Nunavut-raised actor is used to the perma-dark and icy menace of Arctic winters that co-stars Jodie Foster and Cali Reis also faced to shoot the Alaska-set Max crime drama.
Viewers of True Detective: Night Country may find the forbidding darkness and snow-caked backdrop of the Arctic-set Max crime drama jarring, especially as Jodie Foster and Kali Reis in fur-hooded parkas breathe out cold wisps of air while investigating evil all around them.
