Stuntmen photo biography

The author of the author on May 21 of the year took place of the digital release of the film "Cascaders". This is a remake of the series X and the love recognition of director David Litch to the profession: even before it was removed by several successful militants like “Deadpool 2” and “faster than a bullet”, he worked as an understudy of Brad Pitt. Having become famous, the director repeatedly advocated the introduction of an Oscar nomination for stuntmen.

The new film is also an appeal to the movie academy, which for years ignore the merits of coordinators of tricks. True, the “stuntmen” themselves, rather, resemble a bizarre mixture of sketches in the spirit of Saturday Night Live and video cutting of the most dangerous tricks. We tell you why for a good film sometimes not warm feelings. The arrogant star does not like how his double looks in the frame.

Therefore, he asks to re -translate the already difficult scene of the fall from a height. Sivers agrees, but everything is not going according to plan: the cables come off and Kolt is greatly injured. He leaves the film business, works in the service sector and stably ignores messages of his lover, operator Jody. Suddenly, producer Gail Mayer addresses the Kolt.

She asks to return to the site and help Jody: it turns out that he was entrusted with the directing of an expensive Hollywood action movie. Yes, and on the eve of filming, no one can find Tom Ryder, and without it the project will be quickly covered. To make amends for the former, Sivers agrees. In the afternoon, he performs dangerous tricks on the site, and at night he searches for the missing actor.

Director David Litch knows more than many Hollywood directors about cascading craft, because he worked in this area for many years. Therefore, there were many professional insidies in the script: from the stories of the struck actors, who do not put understudy in anything, to cases of physical and mental injuries of stunts after unsuccessful tricks.

These are heroes without raincoats. They burn on the set several times, fly out of car windows, jump from gigantic heights, and no one knows their names. Actually, the same daredevils made "stuntmen". During the shooting, they treated the minimum number of modern technologies: that is, almost without safety belts or green screen. And each trick tried to make as difficult as possible.

For example, they jumped to Earth from a height of 50 meters. Or they tried to break the world record: to turn the car in the air more than seven times. It turned out even eight and a half. All this also needs the creators to attract the attention of the American film academy. For years, she ignores the understudies that risk lives.
