"Those Who Wish Me Dead" was filmed in New Mexico, not Montana, saving money while creating a believable setting. Multiple locations in New Mexico, including Rio Arriba County and Bernalillo, were chosen for filming the action-packed scenes. The Manzano Mountains State Park provided the perfect backdrop for the forest scenes in the film.

Those Who Wish Me Dead technically takes place in the Montana wilderness, but the entirety of production on the movie actually occurred in a different location many miles south of Montana in the United States. The 2021 action thriller film, directed by Taylor Sheridan (of Yellowstone fame) and written by Sheridan, Michael Koryta, and Charles Leavitt, is based on Koryta's 2014 book of the same name. The movie's premise revolves around the murder of a man and his son, who witnessed his father's death, going on the run while the two assassins who killed his dad hunt him down.
