Grimm Set Tour: A Match Made in Portland

Some people are just so lucky that they get to visit the set of one of the most talked-about television series in tinsel town. And perhaps, to make it even easier to comprehend, we’re talking about Grimm. And a few of our very credible sources were kind enough to share with us what they went through. Read the fine print, and we’re sure it will definitely take your breath away. and to think that we're down to business with the next episode of the series, that's Grimm Season 1 Episode 4: The Three Bad Wolves

Grimm stars David Giuntoli, playing the role of a cop by the name of Nick Burckhardt who finds that he’s a descendant of the Grimms – which is an ancient group of bounty hunters that hunt and protect the world from all creatures of the fantasy world, and tales of yore. To aid him is his buddy, Russell Hornsby and Eddie Munroe, played by Silas Weir Mitchell, who’s a werewolf who sticks to his self-pact never to use his powers for evil. And Nick for his part tries his best t never let those worlds, real and fantastic intersect.

You would realize by now that a tour to the set of Grimm is by far a visit to Portland, which the producers said was the best place to tell the tape. Makeup and costume were a piece of cake, as the cast and crew of the show work hard enough, not to mention the long, arduous hours it takes to put together prosthetics, real-life gore, scare, and connect fantasy to the real world. Bottom line is, it’s a police procedural drama tainted with the gift of fantasy and your favorite story book fairy tales. One of the sets includes the Bridgeport Brewery where reporters are toured through their facilities. There’s even this camera, the Alexa, used to shoot the series, and it was approved by Roger Deakins, who is the Coen brothers’ cinematographer. The cast were mellow as well, and even enjoy having a couple of drinks. Surprisingly, leading man David hadn’t been drinking. For him, it had more to do with staying on his prime, on top of his game as the star of the show. He was nothing sort of gracious and very honest, and it’s the kind of thing that keeps you close to both the guy and the work. Watch your step, and be ready for more exciting revelations we’ll have next time. but for a moment, this time, it's all about Grimm Season 1 Episode 4: The Three Bad Wolves. Tah tah!
