Behind The Scenes Footage of HARDCORE HENRY's Crazy POV Camerawork
Hardcore Henry is in theaters right now, and if you've seen the film, I'm guessing there were a handful of times where you probably wondered "how the heck did they pull that off?" (Read our review here.) STX Entertainment has released a music video for writer/director Ilya Naishuller's band (called Biting Elbows) that doubles as an awesome behind-the-scenes featurette showing off the wirework and crazy choreography that went into capturing the movie's insane first person POV perspective. Check out that GoPro rig! Very cool.
They also put out an extended clip of a motorcycle chase from the movie. Both clips should be considered NSFW. Let us know what you think below:
Strap in. Hardcore Henry is one of the most unflinchingly original wild-rides to hit the big screen in a long time: You remember nothing. Mainly because you've just been brought back from the dead by your wife (Haley Bennett). She tells you that your name is Henry. Five minutes later, you are being shot at, your wife has been kidnapped, and you should probably go get her back. Who's got her? His name's Akan (Danila Kozlovsky); he's a powerful warlord with an army of mercenaries, and a plan for world domination. You're also in an unfamiliar city of Moscow, and everyone wants you dead. Everyone except for a mysterious British fellow called Jimmy (Sharlto Copley.) He may be on your side, but you aren't sure. If you can survive the insanity, and solve the mystery, you might just discover your purpose and the truth behind your identity. Good luck, Henry. You're likely going to need it...
