Double Trap on Netflix: With a 14-page script and endless reshoots, this scene gave the actors a hard time

Please note that it is best to watch the series before reading this article.

Double Trap, this is the series that keeps subscribers hooked on Netflix. This adaptation of Harlan Coben’s novel of the same name – which could have been a film starring this international star – is an effective and well-crafted thriller until the final episode and the significant death of a character.

In an interview given on an English website subwayActress Michelle Keegan (Maya) spoke about the various challenges she had to overcome while filming Double Trap. He specifically explains that he had to learn to fly a helicopter because he is airborne.

But he goes back in detail to the scene that the whole team struggled with, where the heroine meets the Burkett family:

“The script for this scene was 14 pages, which I have never seen in my career. It is usually between 1 and a half pages or at most three pages. We were very into that scene. We shot it several times, in chronological order, to make a point and play the right emotion.”

Staging choices that required crews to work a legal number of hours per day and to finish filming after midnight: “They asked us if we were willing to ‘break’ the contract and shoot at night.”

A result that seems to be even after the scene – which Cobain himself teased before the series was released on Netflix – did not fail to tick off subscribers. It must be said that Maya experiences a happier fate in the novel.
