On this coming Friday, Valentine’s Day, while numerous couples worldwide will be cherishing their love by settling in with popular romantic comedies, filmmaker Scott Derrickson will instead introduce a unique take on love tales with “The Gorge“. In the film, Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller portray two skilled snipers divided by an expansive ravine. Remarkably, their emotional bond deepens despite the physical gap between them. Moreover, the chasm they are apart in conceals a terrifying mystery. The intriguing story of “The Gorge” premieres on Apple TV+ on Valentine’s Day itself.
Teller mentioned that he underwent extensive sniper training for his role, explaining to ComicBook how he prepared. He’s had boot camp experiences playing other military characters, but never received formal sniper instruction before. It was challenging due to the need for meticulous attention to detail and precision. However, we managed to pick it up, shooting at distances of hundreds of yards while moving, practicing various tactical maneuvers. Our training was unique because we came from diverse, cultural military backgrounds.
Taylor-Joy explained, “I’m almost completely blind yet I show remarkable precision, which is even more surprising because I usually perform better without my contact lenses. It’s an oddity, I guess.”
Later, discussing the distinction between their sniper training, she said, “The American approach seems to focus more on the individual, whereas Eastern Europeans tend to operate as a team, with a slightly lesser regard for the individual in this context.
The plot revolves around two skilled operatives, Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, who are stationed at guard towers overlooking a massive, top-secret chasm. They are tasked with shielding the world from an unknown, ominous danger hidden within. While maintaining their vigilance against an unseen adversary, they develop a bond from afar. Once they become aware of the impending catastrophic threat to mankind, they must collaborate using their physical and mental prowess to safeguard the secret buried in the chasm before it’s too late.
Initially, Derrickson aimed to produce the movie with an R-rating due to its intense subject matter, but he eventually settled for a PG-13 rating. This decision enabled him to exercise self-control during crucial scenes to make the film more suitable for a wider audience according to the Motion Picture Association (MPA) guidelines.
The director affirmed that they made an adult-rated film. They explained that if one aims to create a less restrictive PG-13 movie, the result might feel too tame and lacking in edge, horror, intensity, or excitement. Trying to enhance these elements during post-production is challenging. If you desire a PG-13 movie, it’s more straightforward to start with an R-rated one and then scale it back rather than trying to boost a PG-13 production to be scarier, more intense, or exciting.
Regarding substantial edits in the final version, Derrickson explained, “Not significantly, to be honest. I was actually quite surprised at what we managed to get past… I had anticipated making a rather intense movie with some quite graphic and disturbing visuals. The changes we needed to make were minor, and I was pleased that I could maintain the desired cut without causing much harm.
The Gorge lands on Apple TV+ on February 14th.
