BrendanFehr (TheNightShift) talks to Bleeding Cool about the SabanFilms action thriller TheBestMan, 10-day shoot, stunts & more. Interview Exclusive ScoutTaylorCompton NickyWhelan LukeWilson DolphLundgren

which follows a team of ruthless mercenaries who violently seize control of a remote resort hotel, former Special Ops soldiers attending their best friend's wedding must rely only on their wits and training to combat the terrorists and save the hostages held for ransom. Fehr spoke to Bleeding Cool about getting to work with the ensemble cast, director. Image courtesy of Saban FilmsThe Best Man: Work's always intriguing [laughs], first and foremost.

On this one, there were no rehearsals beforehand. The stunt coordinators got it all figured out, and you learn it on the day right before you shoot the scene. I've done at least one fight movie where I fought quite a lot and then on night shift, there is a couple of scenes where we fought. I had some MMA matches as well. The way I found that was effective to learn to fight scenes on short notice is basically like a phone number, you learn three moves at a time.

There's a reason the phone number is divided up that way. If you just put ten digits together, the brain doesn't compute it the same way as, going three, three, and four. That's the way I approach to fight scenes on short notice. We learned them on the day. There wasn't a lot of prep for this, unfortunately, to go over any of that stuff, which is the norm these days for movies. Back in the day, using film was so expensive that everyone had to be prepared.

Given the 10-day shoot, was there a particular aspect of production that took more time than expected, or was it ebb and flow to it? As far as I know, it went as a 10-day shoot does, it's run and gun. Action scenes always take a little bit longer than two people talking across the table. The scenes where you got two or three talking heads, that's where you make up time for all the action sequences, because you've got to do safety meetings, so no one gets hurt. It's impressive between the production, actors, and crew that it all got done in that amount of time.
