Siv Ngesi travelled to London to bring the SHELTER Creator Experience to all of us earlier this month.
Jason Statham’s new movie promises to be action-packed and filled with never-before-seen stunts. Watching Siv experience the behind-the-scenes work of what makes an action movie great is awesome. I love seeing content like this because it reminds you how much effort goes into the action we watch on screen, and it gives you a glimpse into the world of the movie.
He got to take part in games, physical challenges and stunt-style activities and games inspired by the film. And honestly, even from the little bits I’ve seen, it looks intense. I don’t know how I would’ve survived the challenges, and yet I wouldn’t mind being in the middle of the SHELTER set.
Getting to experience the work all the stunt people and the film crews put in to make movies larger than life is on my bucket list. There’s just something exciting about seeing what it takes to pull off those big action moments, even when it’s not the actors doing it right in front of you.
The reason I like behind-the-scenes content like this is because it tells you a lot about the movie without giving away the movie. It shows what kind of energy the film is going for. SHELTER doesn’t look like it’s aiming for flashy action.
It looks like it wants the action to feel real, it looks grounded. The kind of thing where you can feel every hit and every fall. That’s the type of action that pulls you in and keeps you locked in because it actually feels dangerous.
Jason Statham is the kind of actor who works best when the action feels grounded, so I’m really interested to see how SHELTER comes together when it finally hits cinemas on 30 January. To get you as excited for this film, I have a surprise for you.
I’ve uploaded a sizzle reel from Siv’s Creator Experience on YouTube, so you can watch his experience. Full interview with Siv coming tomorrow.
