Behind the Scenes: Kiefer Sutherland in Mirrors

Kiefer Sutherland won the King Dong crown earlier this month, bringing props to 24 on Fox and the movie, Monsters vs Aliens. You may or may not be aware that this TV actor was also in Mirrors, which was released in the fall of 2008 and is now available on DVD. In Mirrors, Kiefer Sutherland playes Ben Carson, an ex-NYPD officer who take a security job at a burned-out department store. He later discovers that mirrors at his job are putting his family in danger. The majority of this movie was filmed in Bucharest, Romania. Whether you already watched Mirrors with Kiefer Sutherland or not, here are some behind the scenes facts you may not know:


It took 12 weeks for the Art Department to transform a section of the Academy of Sciences building in Bucharest to a burned-out department store. The realistic movie set created an "incredible amount of freedom" that Keifer Sutherland enjoyed while filming Mirrors. It was not easy for the Mirrors production team to find furniture and other household items in Bucharest that resembled a typical New Jersey home where Keifer Sutherland's character and family would reside.

Kiefer Sutherland was not so much concerned about finding New Jersey-esque decor' as he was impressed by Bucharest's 97% literacy rate. During a technically driven post on Kiefer Sutherland Home, the 24 star is noted as stating "There are five year-olds running around who can kick my ass in chess". That may not be easy for many Kiefer Sutherland fans to believe after witnessing him kick butt as Jack Bauer on Fox's 24 TV show.
