The Director of EXTRACTION Helped Take Action Sequences "To The Next Level" in THE MANDALORIAN Season 2
If you thought the action in Chris Hemsworth Netflix movie Extraction was good, you’ll be happy to learn that the director of the film, Sam Hargrave, joined The Mandalorian season 2 to help take the action in a galaxy far, far away “to the next level.”
During an interview with Collider, Hargrave, who also helped on the action in Avengers: Endgame and Deadpool 2, explained:
“It’s crazy. I was in the middle of post [-production on Extraction] and I’m editing my movie and I got a call from my buddy Colin Wilson, one of the line producers, who said, ‘Jon [Favreau] and the people over here are looking for someone to bring into the team or add to the family who has experience with action.’”
When talking about what he brought to the live-action Star Wars, he said:
“It was just to bring a little extra perspective, add a few things, things I’ve learned while working on superhero movies, little tricks which make the performances easier and using visual effects to enhance certain things.”
Hargrave went on to tease the awesomeness of the story for The Mandalorian Season 2, saying:
“The next season is really, really cool. The way the story arcs is really cool. So we tried to have the action represent that and take it to the next level. I think we did that.”
He also revealed that he does know the real name of The Child, but he won’t reveal it:
“Yes, I know the name of The Child. I carry that secret. It's a very heavy burden.”
It’ll be cool to see the final result of this and see what Hargrave ends up bringing to the action! Ya gotta love epic Star Wars action!
