FILM 1736: A CURE FOR WELLNESS

TRIVIA: Filmed at the Castle Hohenzollern in Hechingen, Germany.

Originally, Hans Zimmer was attached to compose the music for this film but he dropped out to focus on Dunkirk (2017). He was replaced by Benjamin Wallfisch.

A Cure For Wellness is a play on the word "Aquifer" which is used to make the patients "well" in the movie.

The building of the sanatorium is originally located in Beelitz-Heilstätten, an old tuberculosis clinic. The building itself and the area around it have been completely renovated after being a ruin for decades. 750 windows (1,000 sq m of glass), 350 doors, 1,200 sq m of walls and many other things had to be replaced or repaired to restore the original look of the building.
