Extraction2 director Sam Hargrave breaks down how they set Chris Hemsworth on fire over and over for a 21-minute oner.
Extraction 2, the sequel to Netflix's surprise smash hit starring Chris Hemsworth brings back the Australian star's character Tyler Rake for more violent insanity to our screens, and this time, director Sam Hargrave has been explaining the incendiary lengths the production team went to in order to achieve new heights in a conversation with Empire Magazine.
"For me, the image of Chris Hemsworth on fire beating the shit out of a bunch of prisoners, while on fire, in the show was something that I couldn't pass up. Hats off to Chris. It wasn't CG fire. And he had to do it over and over. I don't know a lot of people, let alone Hollywood A-listers, who are gonna let you light them on fire while on camera. It may just be his arm, but if the wind blows the wrong way, the moneymaker's right here.
The desire to film such a wild sequence lies in the first film, which included a one-shot escape sequence, which encompassed a shootout in Dhaka that allowed Hemsworth the chance to shine as an action hero without the need for a hammer and cape.
"We build in certain stitch points where we could," says Hargrave. "But in those broken-up pieces you still have sequences that will be between 30 seconds and a minute-and-a-half. Sometimes there are 50, 60. 75 moves in a row with dozens of stunt performers. And it was at night, in the middle of winter. Chris had red ears and a red nose because he was freezing."
Extraction 2 is once again directed by Hargrave, with a screenplay by Joe Russo. Aside from Hemsworth, the cast also features Golshifteh Farahani , Adam Bessa , Olga Kurylenko , Tinatin Dalakishvili , Andro Jafaridze, Miriam and Marta Kovziashvili and Daniel Bernhardt .
