Good news for fans of Ex Drummer and director Koen Mortier!  Today is the final shooting day on Mortier's sophomore feature, the terrorism-themed 22nd of May, which means a look at some footage cannot be far off.  But footage or no, director of photography Nicolas Karakatsanis has posted a generous collection of shots from the set on his personal blog and these are flat out stunning.  There are more to be found over here but I've gathered a collection of my favorites below. 

... While everything around him is burning, Sam tries his best to help. He drags a woman outside against her will. She is screaming, struggling to get back inside to save her child. But Sam is already back on the scene, trying to rescue other victims, all of them just as helpless as he is. They are strewn over the floor, covered in blood, their clothes shredded to pieces, feeling utterly lost. As their cries turn into screams, Sam is overpowered by fear and panic. First there was the shock, then the realization of what happened. Without thinking, he starts to run, turning his back to the apocalyptic scene. He flees, running along the streets of a city that once felt as familiar as a friend, but now seems more like a dark monster ...
