Netflix reveals how it recreated an Apple Store from scratch for new ‘iHostage’ thriller
In February 2022, a hostage situation unfolded at an Apple Store location in Amsterdam when a gunman demanded a $227 million ransom in cryptocurrency. The hostage and other Apple Store visitors escaped the situation safely, while the gunman died from injuries sustained when he was hit by a police vehicle.
Netflix subsequently announced its plans to create a thriller based on the situation, called iHostage, which debuted this week.
As part of the production of iHostage, Netflix recreated the Amsterdam Apple Store from scratch – and has shared a behind-the-scenes video of what that process entailed.
