It’s Netflix’s Die Hard. Pure entertainment, a little simple but often fun, that takes place during the end of the year holidays. With Carry-On, the platform makes Taron Egerton its new action star.
The latter plays a young air security agent who has to face the blackmail of a mysterious passenger. The latter threatens to smuggle a dangerous package onto the plane on Christmas Eve…
Carry-On, made two years ago, is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, a genre specialist who has already directed Liam Neeson in Non-Stop, The Passenger and Night Run. Netflix gave themselves a chance by getting permission to film in a real airport, because all the action is concentrated there. As Taron Egerton explained on our mic:
“We actually shot it at the airport. They reworked the decor a bit to make it look like Los Angeles, LAX. There’s this scene we shot on the tarmac where the planes are moving. And that was true too. There’s also this scene at the beginning where I’m riding the luggage cart. We see a real plane taking off in the background. We filmed behind closed doors and the whole experience was surreal. “
The teams filmed the special between September 2022 and January 2023 at Louis Armstrong New Orleans Airport.
intense exercise
To make Carry-On as realistic as possible, the director asked his teams to train with real TSA (Transportation Security Administration) agents:
“We had two great TSA advisors from LAX who gave us all the information we needed. They trained the actors before the shoot and they were there on the set to give us instructions if something wasn’t believable. “ The director says about it Interview.
And the teams called Dr. Errol G. Southers, a counterterrorism expert who was also in charge of security at the Los Angeles airport in the past. If the film is full of action and adrenaline, the director has ensured that the rest is as close to reality as possible. And when we see how easily the terrorist played by Jason Bateman manages to move inside the building, there is reason to be scared!
Go ahead and watch it on Netflix.
