There was a scene where Ben Rickert (Brad Pitt) was in a pub in the UK, as far as I recall. Since this the steering wheel on the left and the buildings' architecture look very British, I assume it's from this scene. -- Last edit: 2018-06-28 16:51:29

Gamer ◊ 2018-06-28 16:47	Okay, no need to rub it in. We got it, it's stock footage.
