Far from delegating to Hayley, her stunt double, Anya Taylor-Joy took the risk by filming more than one scene
With his ‘Furiosa’, almost in contrast to ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’, George Miller has chosen to take his time and embrace a slower pace to tell the story of the titular heroine over the course of about three decades. But this does not mean that the filmmaker has forgotten serve us on a silver platter another good helping of intense action scenesthe kind that dislodges jaws.
Part of the equation to bring them to a successful conclusion has been, once again, the long-suffering specialists, who have punished their bodies in the service of the show—and our entertainment. But, to the surprise of maestro Miller, Anya Taylor-Joy, who has given life to the titular heroine, he left his stunt double on the bench on more than one occasion.
Anya Taylor-Risk
As the director has confessed to GQ UK, during a scene in which Furiosa climbs into the front seat of the war truck through the gap left by the windshield after it was destroyed, He confused Taylor-Joy with Hayley, the specialist who replaced her when things got tough.
“I was watching the scene and I saw her stunt double, Hayley, and I thought, ‘Wow, she looks a lot like Anya.’ Talk to [el director de la segunda unidad y coordinador de especialistas] guy [Norris] and he said, ‘That wasn’t Hayley, that was Anya.’ It happened often.”
While eating spicy chicken wings at ‘Hot Ones’, Chris Hemsworthwho played the show’s villain, Dementus, talked about the meticulousness of the risk scene preparation process from ‘Furiosa’.
“In order for everyone to stay alive, every last detail has to be rehearsed. All the stuntmen go through it, all the right versions, the wrong versions, that kind of experimentation period… and then I come along and ‘do my own stunts’, but they’ve already narrowed down to a pretty zone. safe, as safe as it could be, although there is still a bit of a leap of faith. But it takes an enormous amount of preparation and then it’s kind of orchestrated, controlled chaos.”
After the accident that took place on the set of ‘Fury Road’, where the double Dayna Grant suffered a head injury which required an operation financed through crowdfunding organized by fans, all precaution and preparation is insufficient.
