00:00Este es no tu clássico de un género clásico y es la naturaleza de ese underdog que realmente hace es intriguoso.
00:09Aunque se está diseñando en el mundo de inteligencia y hemos visto muchas historias antes,
00:14es diferente en que nuestro héroe no es un agente especial.
00:18Es un inteligencia que quiere que quiera evadir su esposa.
00:21Yo quería hacer algo que era elegante, sofisticado, smart y desde el punto de vista de un héroe de un héroe que hacía extraordinario.
00:393, 2, 1, ¡Action!
00:43El Amateur existía como un libro en el 80 y había sido un filme antes.
00:47El productor, Hatch Parker, Dan Wilson, han querido por un tiempo para ver esto a una nueva audiencia.
00:53El filme de esposa es tan robusta, lleno de machismo.
00:58El Charlie Heller no es esos.
01:03Si miras en el momento en el que Charlie flinches después de una explosión,
01:07y todos pensamos, sí, eso es bueno, no hemos visto eso antes.
01:11El cool versión de este, si no es el Amateur,
01:13es que walking away, no es incluso flinch,
01:15mientras que el building se deslizó en el background.
01:18Estamos tratando de descartar.
01:20¡Bang! ¡Bang!
01:21Ya sabes, estás acostumbrado a ver el hombre sin brillar,
01:24pero es imposible no flinch.
01:27Yo tenía uno, y luego empiezo a la primera vez.
01:32¡Action!
01:34¡Bang!
01:35¡Bang!
01:38Rami, siendo un actor tan hermoso,
01:40es brindle un montón de complejo y nuance.
01:45El convoy,
01:47ha targetado nuestros allies.
01:49Es un actor muy único y muy únicamente,
01:53que brindle un tipo de energía original
01:57que da su trabajo una cierta unpredictabilidad.
02:00¡Bang!
02:03¡Bang!
02:04¡Bang!
02:05¡Bang!
02:07Rami brings intensity,
02:09a certain quirkiness,
02:11an electric energy.
02:12He's just somebody you want to watch,
02:14you want to travel with.
02:16It's been so much fun to finally get to work with Rami.
02:19We've known each other for a number of years,
02:22and it's been really fun to watch him come into his own
02:25as a producer on this movie too,
02:27and to watch him behind the monitor.
02:31Fortunately, I had the backing of a studio
02:34that I've been working with for a long time.
02:36They gave me all the agency not only to act in it,
02:39but to produce it as well.
02:40Sorry, Pat, I'm gone.
02:42I was very aware that we had a great script.
02:44It would attract great actors.
02:47But it was nice to be able to call upon people
02:51who I wanted to work with all my life.
02:54What's fascinating about the story is,
02:56along the way,
02:57Hela meets a succession of other wonderful characters.
03:00So it really is a rich ensemble
03:01with some really serious actors.
03:04Every day, it was just,
03:06who am I gonna meet,
03:07and who am I gonna have to marshal my talents
03:11to reach that same level?
03:12There was a constant feeling of,
03:15let's just up the game day in and day out.
03:19Bye.
03:25Rachel Brosnahan is just such an asset to have
03:27as part of the ensemble.
03:29She brings an energy to the studio floor,
03:31to the location floor every time she arrives.
03:33Rachel and I have been wanting to work together for so long,
03:39and so we were constantly meeting up
03:42and talking about working together.
03:44I think we both inherently knew there would be chemistry.
03:48Remind you of me.
03:50Don't need reminding.
03:51Rami and I have talked a lot about how it feels like they're soulmates.
03:56They bring out the best in each other.
03:58It's just a pure love.
04:01And so it makes it that much more difficult
04:04when Sarah's taken hostage and ultimately killed in a really brutal way.
04:08The scene where Sarah is killed is challenging from a story point of view
04:15because it's remote from our principal character.
04:18He's not there to see the key crime unfold.
04:21He takes Sarah at the hostage.
04:23The cool thing about shooting this awful death scene at St. Pancras
04:26is that it's shot both by CCTV and also by hand-held cell phone cameras.
04:33These days, if something like this happened,
04:35it wouldn't be unlikely that a number of people might,
04:38even as they're in the middle of this crisis, try to tape it.
04:42So we've tried to create a big-scale dramatic scene,
04:45but captured with the energy and the immediacy of those sorts of witnesses.
04:51We need to make sure we had it from all the different angles
04:53so Heller can piece it together.
04:57I don't want you to kill them.
05:01I want to kill them myself.
05:03The brutality of what happened is one of the main things that sets him on this journey.
05:08Let's use Henderson.
05:10Laurence Fishburne's character is called Henderson.
05:14And the first day Laurence turns up, he says,
05:16Well, I had a friend who was Marine.
05:18He was called Henderson and he was always known as Hendo.
05:20So from now on, I'm called Hendo.
05:23And you don't say no to Laurence.
05:24My friends call me Hendo.
05:26You will call me Colonel Henderson.
05:30Who better to be the person who trains you and slaps you in the face?
05:36Do it now!
05:37All right.
05:38All right.
05:39Put your finger on the trigger.
05:40The relationship in terms of master-teacher,
05:42Come on.
05:43Gives us an opportunity to really, really find some wonderful things to play together.
05:48I think he handled that with such nuance and grace and could have easily come off as a villain.
05:55And somehow you just don't want him to ever leave that film.
05:59Maybe y'all misjudge this individual?
06:01You think?
06:03Those three actors that lead roles in the CIA, Danny Holt and Laurence, brought a gravitas to the scenes.
06:12And we wanted that.
06:13We wanted to feel the authority and the danger that these guys bring into any scene.
06:19And to see that kind of level of actor opposite Rami and see the way they lift each other's game and they fence and they experiment with the language in the scene is really impressive.
06:30I can just sit back and let it happen.
06:33Charlie, you've got to get out of there.
06:35You've got to go.
06:37Right now.
06:40What I love about Katrina's work and the character of Inquiline is there's an extreme vulnerability, a sense of loss that they both share.
06:52I wasn't prepared for how quiet the world would become.
06:55She is very much more equipped than Charlie to handle any adversary.
07:01And yet Katrina does it in this very elegant, sophisticated way.
07:07It's very powerful in the film.
07:10What I loved about her is, again, it feels like this very unlikely person who has a kind of mission of justice in a way, which I thought was really interesting about her.
07:21We had an extraordinary ensemble at large, the best of the best, and they brought it day in and day out.
07:31Michael Stuhlbarg, Julian Nicholson, and then Jon Bernthal, who has been a longtime friend of mine.
07:38Are you kidding me?
07:39He does things on the day that just make you feel so alive as an actor, because I don't want to throw him under the bus, but he'll improv quite a bit.
07:51He's your killer, by the way.
07:52A director could easily get jarred by that, but we had one of the best of the best in James Hawes.
08:02James Hawes, yeah. James.
08:05He's a very thoughtful director. He's very thorough, and he's very interested in the details.
08:13I'm more than fortunate to have James Hawes as our director. Big budget motion picture, and he was calm, decisive, and extremely thoughtful.
08:24And cut. I love that one.
08:26The way that he works is very nuanced. He's very much about, you know, the very small details of a story and how those characters move within that world.
08:39And he's just very sure of what he wants. It seems like such a given, but it's such an incredible asset as a director.
08:47There's just an ease with it all, which just creates such a lovely environment.
08:50And he's very collaborative. He's always kind of interested in having his actors pose questions and present ideas.
08:59It's been so much fun working with James. He has such a clear vision for this film and has obviously spent so much time with it.
09:07It's just been a really nice group of people who are making a movie that at times can be dark and challenging, and so it's nice to have that style of leadership.
09:16It's an excellent script. It's the kind of old-fashioned thriller that I think we should be making more of.
09:25There's such heart to this film, which I think is going to give it this real depth.
09:31I wanted to make an action film that speaks volumes, and the amateur does just that.
