Quicksilver scene3/31/2023 “It’s funny because, movies like X-Men: Days of Future Past come up in conversation." (Both films display show-stopping sequences of a supersonic-quick character moving around a room much faster than people comprehend, all set to pleasant music tracks.) The film opens in 2D and 3D on May 27th.“You can’t help but look for inspiration everywhere,” Fowler said. While the cast and crew were tight-lipped about the specifics, I was able to piece together what this new Quicksilver sequence involves, and trust me, it’s going to be incredible.įor more from my X-Men: Apocalypse set visit, peruse the links below. It was just me moving my arms but I'll tell you what, they shoot against these green screens and they fill it in later and it is just unbelievable.” I'm sitting there just going like this (moves arms back and forth) because they didn't want to have me run on a treadmill because I probably would have ate it and broken the camera and it's all liability…. They had this setup where it was this metal bar, right, and then the camera was on there and then behind me they had this metal bar coming out and then sand bags on that to counterbalance the weight so it was intense. “That one was kind of like a Go Pro situation but with a full camera. In terms of specifically filming the close-up portions of the scene, Peters described what’s involved: It doesn't matter what we really do as long as you add that phantom camera on there… Obviously mixed with the special effects talents then it becomes something really sweet.” What we've been able to accomplish with technology and just being able to watch things in a different way is so cool. That phantom camera is like insanity dude. They're doing that again and it's fucking cool, man. You guys know it was a lot of slow motion and stop where people were stopped. That’s what you always try to do I think for the sequel and hopefully we've done that. You take elements that worked in the past and then you add on to them and try to make them better. While the actor was guarded about what the new sequence entailed, he said the best way he can contextualize it in relation to the first sequence is that they approached it like a sequel: You go back and do it again and do it a little differently. You kind of do it and then you go back and check it out and see if it worked. It's very meticulous and tedious work, which is … I kind of like that actually. “Most of it is on stages and great stunt guys and just working it all out. Peters worked on the new scene on and off during the entire production-30 days in total-which gave him and the crew time to evaluate bits and pieces of the new sequence as it was being put together: I'm excited for everybody to see it because we've been working hard on it.” They just told me what to do so I didn't really have much to do with it but I was curious to see how they were going to top it and if they could and I think they have. Bryan Schmears over at Second Unit, everybody just made that whole sequence awesome, I thought. Can we top it? They did such a fucking awesome job. When I visited the Montreal set of X-Men: Apocalypse last summer, the cast and crew were fairly guarded about what, specifically, the new Quicksilver sequence entails, but Evan Peters did have high praise for the team involved in bringing the scene to life:
