‘It’s crazy accurate’: How did Marina Foys prepare for Netflix’s Furies stunts?

This Friday, March 1, Netflix released the first season of Furies, the action series created by Yoann Legav and Jean-Yves Arnaud, which follows Lina (Lina El Arabi), a young woman seeking revenge after her father’s death. He finds himself in the net of fury (Marina Foys), the guardian of order and peace in the organized crime of Paris.

For the purposes of this series, the action scenes of which are nothing to envy in American fiction, the actors had to undergo intense physical training, namely Marina Fois and Lina El Arabi, who took the first steps in this register.

Three months of intensive training

In order to get the physical training necessary to play the character of Lina, Lina El Arabi underwent training for three months before the start of filming. “It was crazy luck” he explained on the AlloCiné microphone, “Because usually we don’t have that much time.”

I trained with the best every day for three months. I had a trainer who followed me through physical training and diet. I worked six days out of the seventh. I’m really lucky that Netflix trusted me and made everything available for us to work as well as possible.

Marina Fois

The work for Marina Foys was different, her character performed far fewer stunts than Lina. According to Cedric Nicholas-Troian, director of the first four episodes of Furies, Fury is like “Western character“.

He is a very quiet character who lives on the fringes of society and has enough experience that he doesn’t need to gesticulate or shout.“, he explained before adding:Unlike Lina, who is like a ball in a pinball game.

“I had all the necessary skills”

I didn’t need to work, I already had all the necessary skills– Marina Foys laughs when we ask her how she prepared for the role of Fury. But if the actor had less action scenes, he still had to overcome himself to play in Furies.

Lina worked on me ten times. As for me, I couldn’t do stunts with confidence. Contrary to what I told you, I don’t have the necessary skills and I’ve practiced a lot“- he explained with a laugh.

Doing stunts requires a lot of precision, I’m not sure an actor can do it without practice.“Marina Foys also told us that doing stunts was a difficult but interesting job.

This is crazy accurate because we can’t be approximate. We worked hard Jude Poyer . He managed to make it fun for us because he knows what he’s doing..”

Of course, the actors still used stuntmen for certain risky scenes. “We must justify themLina El Arab insisted. “These are the people who take risks and can jump off a moving truck.” And it’s these meticulously choreographed stunts and fight scenes that make Furies a unique series.
