Sam Hargrave (Extraction)

from MovieMaker · host MovieMaker Magazine

Extraction is the best action movie of the year.Granted, it's a weird year. But even in a normal one, it's hard to imagine a more impressive sequence that the 12-minute, seemingly continuous shot in Extraction in which Chris Hemsworth leads a young boy through unbelievable carnage, unbelievably quickly, doing stunts that would be impressive even with lots of editing and fixes in post. The reason that sequence is possible is our guest today, Sam Hargrave, who makes his directorial debut with Extraction. He came to directing by way of being a stuntman, working his way through the Marvel Universe, where he doubled for Chris Evans as Captain America, created some of the MCU's best fight sequences, and impressed the Russo Brothers enough that they offered him Extraction. I also ask him some things I've always wondered, like: How do you become a stuntman? And can Chris Hemsworth, Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron fight in real life? Hosted on Acast.

Lopez I'm a moviemaker and owner of Cross Beyond, the movie production company that crosses beyond the ordinary (www.crossbeyondproductions.com), but I'm also an avid movie lover, gamer, and all around cool (depends on your definition of cool) guy who's interested in nerdy/techie stuff.
