Chris Hemsworth and the team behind the new Netflix action movie “Extraction” on releasing the film into a world unrecognizable from when they made it.
From the latest James Bond to “The Batman,” many high-profile films are rescheduling their release dates to mitigate the risk of contracting COVID-19 in movie theaters and other large gatherings. Here’s a working list of all the film releases affected by coronavirus.
With little in the way of film production infrastructure, Dhaka proved too logistically difficult a location to mount a film the size of “Extraction,” so in the end, while some scenes were shot there, the majority of the movie was shot in India and in Thailand.
“Shooting right in the hustle and bustle of those places gave the film the frenetic sort of energy and a texture that we couldn’t have gotten anywhere else, nor could we have simulated that on a soundstage or something,” Hemsworth said. “You respond differently to different locations, and it being as hot and loud and busy as it was just gave it an intensity. There was little acting required most days.
not adjusted for inflation, the film also allowed both the Russos and Hemsworth their first chance to work with Netflix. With the future of theatrical releases uncertain, at least in the near term, the Russo brothers — who, among others projects, are developing an animated series based on the trading card game “Magic: The Gathering” for Netflix — are eager to see how the film is embraced by audiences trapped at home and hungry for fresh content to break up the monotony of life in quarantine.
