HERE’S WHAT THE ACTORS HAD TO SAY:

Dwayne Johnson says he had to learn how to move like an amputee: “There were a lot of things that I really had to keep in mind as an amputee thinking about that every second of every frame of every action of every moment what that looks like and psychologically what that feels like walking with a certain — there’s a certain hitch in my step, there’s a certain gate in my hips, that these individuals go through when they’re an amputee.”

Neve Campbell says audiences can expect to see a different Dwayne Johnson in this movie: “The thing that’s going to be very new to audiences for Dwayne in this film you know he plays most often he plays very larger than life characters, he is larger than life in a lot of ways, obviously, and people really enjoy seeing him in that and I think this is going to be something else that’s wonderful about Dwayne is that you get to see his vulnerability — his character has flaws and he’s not a superhero and he struggles and we don’t get to see Dwayne do that a lot and I think audiences are going to be surprised at how well he is able to do that.”
