If you just watched Chris Hemsworth on “Extraction” on Netflix and you’re wondering how the hell they accomplished that 11-minute take, TheWrap has you covered.
The scene in question occurs during the middle of the film and takes place when Rake (Chris Hemsworth) is chased by Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal) in a captivating chase that first starts inside a car, then a spilling foot chase ensues. on the streets. Then Rake and Ovi go toe-to-toe inside a residential building before returning to the streets of Dhaka. Those are just the broad strokes, since the shot is much more detailed than that. How is it put together?
“Yes, we called that sequence ‘one-er’ because it was made up of a sequence or series of long takes that made it look like an 11-and-a-half minute continuous shot,” director Sam Hargrave said. TheWrap.
“We were restricted by certain technical and location limitations where some of … your ego wants to take a continuous shot, I would love to do the whole fight scene, 11 minutes without cutting the camera, but we had to move locations. Sometimes, when you walk through a door from one place to another that’s 10 miles away, then you can’t do that. And then you would have to accumulate the accumulation of damage that they would receive as they progressed through these action sequences, you had to be faithful to that until you stop and apply more blood or a larger tear to the closet or whatever it is. “
The “oner-er” scene in Dhaka was improvised by Hargrave and his team, as it was not originally written that way. “So the need broke it, but in the movie, it’s presented as an 11-and-a-half minute sequence and the … It never really started that way, as written, it was this big piece of the action set that he read it your eyes were wide open ”added Hargrave.
“Every time I read it, it said, ‘Man, this is exciting.’ As big as any James Bond or Jason Bourne movie. And I remember saying, ‘This is going to be difficult to do on our schedule and budget.’ How can I take this without losing the emotion? How can I make it mine and make it unique for this movie without losing the emotion?
Traditionally, to achieve a shot like that, two production teams would be needed. The first unit with Hemsworth for one week and a second unit team for three weeks. However, as Hargrave tells TheWrap, they didn’t have time to shoot the traditional way, and instead had to run and shoot with a Hemsworth ready to play.
“So I thought, ‘Well, if we didn’t have to divide it into two units …’ Because it would be … In my experience, main would take it for seven days, the second unit would take it for three weeks. I thought: ‘We don’t have that kind of time, so how do we do this? “And Chris is very physically capable, so I thought,” Wow, what if he did most of these things? “We built it around his abilities and we followed him out of it. , this need and a desire to … Because this part of the world hadn’t really been seen long before in Western cinema, it hasn’t been, it was like … It would be really cool for the public to be aboard a extraction in real time in this place, feel what it is like and see the world, feel the environment, listen to the sounds, “said Hargrave.
Finally, it took Hargarve and the filmmakers almost two weeks to achieve “one-er” with weeks of rehearsal before filming. It was clearly worth it.
“So once I introduced him to my fellow filmmakers, they were all on board and he took … I mean we filmed it over the course of 10 days, but we rehearsed it for many, many weeks.” It took months to manufacture what you see in the final product. “
