Thad Luckinbill: You know it was twenty guys Īlex Russell: It was definitely twenty guys. SR: He said it was great but was it a frat type of atmosphere? SR: Miles said he would never do a film again with 20 guys. I don’t think any specific effort had to go into creating chemistry between us because between that and the three month shoot in Santa Fe we had plenty in common. We didn’t have to sleep with one another.Īlex Russell: In pre-production we did a week of ‘Hotshot Camp’, we would call it, with our technical advisor Pat McCarty, just putting us through it, throwing on the gear, hiking up mountains with chainsaws, all the tools that they have. Geoff Stults: Who would have thought? No, we did more of a boot camp. Yes, we started out sleeping together.Īlex Russell: You’d think it’d be a King but….

Geoff Stults: First thing he did was make us all sleep in one big bed. Did Joseph take you on a team building event or was that grown organically? I really felt like you guys were friends and you had this camaraderie. SR: You all have such great chemistry in the film.

Only rhe brave cast
