Alan Ritchson Instagram – You’re playing Reacher. You started filming the season in the summer, but a strike pushed you into the bitter cold of an uninhabitable Toronto winter. As a result, the driving scenes aren’t so drivey anymore.
The windshield has been removed so the camera doesn’t see itself. It’ll be put back in in post. Everyone has on eye protection but you. Zirks are being shot at you from all sides. They’re basically paintballs filled with black powder, zirconium and bird seed. They can start a fire and they definitely create a debris field. Your eye twitches at the thought one clipping your dusty retina.
You’re tasked with driving across a property that currently only exists in your mind, while the camera pushes into your face through an invisible windshield and you’re blasted with the Golden Corral of bird food.
To complicate matters further, the car is off so the fumes don’t turn the soundstage into the Jonestown Massacre. Which means there’s no power steering and the tires are under 8 thousand pounds of truck. The steering wheel makes you look weak. Everyone laughs at you. You take solace in the fact that a Craig’s cookie isn’t too far away. You love cookies. You eat them all the time.
Can you sell the explosive drive without over doing it? Or are you driving Miss Daisy? | Posted on 18/Jan/2024 00:21:17
