Yes! The locations themselves, I figured we were in South Africa but I have to say it’s one of the locations that feels very urban and also very wide open in certain scenes and shots.

They did because a lot of the locations and places were not the most conducive for filming fight scenes! They did have to tweak them, you know, and just see as we went along. OK, so when you were on set, did the stunt coordinators have improvise scenes based on your location? He’s just brilliant, brilliant, such a sweet guy and I did martial arts and weapons training with him for three months leading up to filming. He did The Book of Eli, The Matrix, the Bond films, Hanna. While I was in Los Angeles, I worked with this stunt coordinator who unfortunately wasn’t able to work on, his name’s Jeff Imada. All that I’d seen when I Googled it was the kitchen fight but then I found the entire thing because I thought it would be good to know what I was up against!ĭid you have to go through any training for the combat scenes before you stepped into the role, so to speak?

It was very hard to find but I finally got a DVD of it. Had you seen the original in preparation? OK, so jumping right in: How did you hear about the project? Eisley!
