Exclusive: here's why Extraction 2's thrilling one-shot sequence took so long to film
– a set-piece clocking in at a remarkable 21 minutes. And, having seen the film, we can confirm it's as long as you might expect.
While there were numerous difficulties to overcome before filming began, there were other, unexpected obstacles that the cast and crew had to cross once production was fully underway. Asked what the most challenging aspect of filming the 'oner' sequence – an extensive, three-part act that forms most of the film's first chapter – Hargrave said:"[It was] the scheduling and execution of something this ambitious. Generally, the preference would be to shoot it in order, because it takes place in real-time [in the movie] and you want to move from one to the next.
"With filmmaking, it never works out exactly as you'd hoped. We actually had to do this over the course of the entire shooting schedule, so three to four months, rather than the 29 days consecutive days we'd scheduled at various locations."Adding to the problems was the fact that the one-shot sequence had to be filmed backwards.
"We started with the train section at the end," Hargrave said."Then, we went onto the prison yard, and after that, we did the car chase. Finally, we went back to the train sequence to film one final small piece because some actors had Covid. So the hardest part was ensuring everything flowed and connected to the next scene. Because it's such an intricate sequence, keeping our plan on track was extremely challenging.
