Stunt Coordinator Greg Remente details how Brad Pitt, Bad Bunny, and the rest of the cast prepped and executed for the action flick

could inflict pain and protect Pitt or riding trains to visualise how to have maximum stunt potential in a confined space, Remente spared no expense when it came to bringing the wildThese fight scenes are delightfully intricate. The train and the briefcase play integral parts in the action. How did you and David come up with the fight choreography?

Figuring out what he can do was easy for us because he has a body of work that shows his talent. I spent a lot of time researching all of his films. David was his stunt double in the past, so I had the inside scoop. Then, we'll do training sessions with our cast, going through a vocabulary and various basic-to-intricate techniques as if we're teaching. But we are also evaluating how we can take their strengths and build them into their character.

The thing we strengthen a lot that people underestimate is your neck. We would do a lot of warming up and loosening up of the neck because you're spending all day taking head reactions that you are doing where nobody's actually hitting you. There are also a lot of high knees because we're going to be engaging glutes. There are hip flexors for kicking, the knees, running, throwing, and falling. I also love a good jumping jack, a good burpee, and a good pushup.

That was a combination of two options of some stunt vis, which is like a pre-visualisation, that the stunt team and I delivered to David. First, we had options where his Wolf necklace would get caught on the TV, come down, fall on his head and break his neck. We had options where birds would fly through the window and peck him to death. But his story is about his heart because the love of his life died. So, we should stab him in his heart.

So I loved having that briefcase because you knew everybody was after it, so it's a character of its own. That's what I really love about working with David. There are opportunities to make characters that aren't people. First and foremost, we put pads everywhere. We paint them to look like the set. As far as most people know, you're looking at a marble concrete countertop. That was a pad. VFX sometimes paints it to make it look better. You also got rubber knives.
