The production's most audacious location choice was Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London. "We needed to find locations in London that looked like Las Vegas," says McWilliams. "We ended up using Tottenham Hotspur Stadium because it's such a modern, state-of-the-art venue. The underground players' car park doubled for the MGM casino in Vegas, while the stadium pitch was used for a boxing fight sequence." The production also incorporated real footage from the Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank fight at Tottenham's stadium, including appearances by 50 Cent himself – blending archive material with freshly filmed sequences.
The nearby Science Park was transformed into everything from prison cells and hospital wards to airport interiors and mortuaries. "We built prison interiors there, which was really handy because it's hard to film in prisons in this country," says McWilliams. "We also built hospital sets, airport scenes and a mortuary there. Those kinds of adaptable spaces are incredibly difficult to find in London."
The production made extensive use of the Switch Building – a former power station promoted by Film Barking & Dagenham. "It's an incredible space," says McWilliams. "There are safety issues, but you can sort them out, and it's got a huge old car park next to it that we used for our vehicles."
