SET VISIT: Go Faster with Dwayne Johnson
In the late 90s, he was a major part in the resurgence of “sports entertainment” known as professional wrestling, when he could captivate audiences with just a single twitch of the eyebrow as “The Rock.” It wasn’t long before his mammoth build and electrifying persona took him into the world of regular entertainment, i.e. the movies, where he now goes by his given name, Dwayne Johnson. After a stretch of successful family-friendly movies such as Race to Witch Mountain and Tooth Fairy, Dwayne Johnson is making a glorious return to the action genre with Faster, which will be released in theaters on November 24.
Back in March, I was one of a select few press members who was invited to the set and, wouldn’t you know it, {one of the first people we ran into was Dwayne Johnson|}. I had never met this enormous man before, although I was told by several colleagues that he was one of the nicest guys in the biz. Sure, he stands 6’4″ and has arms the size of my head, but I knew just after a short exchange with him, that all those stories were true. “The Rock” really is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. We were set to speak with him later in the day, but he made it a point to welcome us to the set, which was very cool indeed.
If you’re not familiar with the movie up to this point, let me bring you up to speed. Dwayne Johnson plays “Driver,” who wasn’t exactly your model citizen. He goes in to pull a bank heist job with his brother, which goes horribly awry and lands Driver in prison for 10 years and his brother six feet under. As the years pass, Driver only has one thing on his mind: revenge, both for his brother’s death and for the decade he lost inside. Upon his release, through his various contacts, he holds a list with four names. Four men responsible for his brother’s death. Four men who must die. As he sets out at a breakneck pace, he finds himself being pursued by two men: an aging cop on the brink of retirement (Billy Bob Thornton) and a stylish assassin (newcomer Oliver Jackson-Cohen), both of whom are only known as “Cop” and “Killer.” However, with the stakes being raised at every turn with this “Cop” and “Killer” tracking him down, “Driver” begins to realize that his list may be incomplete…
Producer Robert Teitel told us that, besides the 70s throwback elements of having nameless characters, there are also many 70s-style car-chase scenes. He said these chase scenes were shot in a much more practical (i.e. real/non-CGI) way, which meant they had to take their cast to driving school:
“What we did was we sent Dwayne Johnson and Oliver Jackson-Cohen to driving school. It was like a boot camp throughout the movie, actually for every character. They were meeting with a Rampart police officer for the driving and the shooting.”
Screenwriter Joe Gayton, who wrote the movie with his brother Tony Gayton, talked about some of the 70s movies that influenced this movie:
“We always considered this a contemporary Spaghetti Western, so instead of The Good the Bad and the Ugly, this is The Cop, The Killer and The Driver. Let’s see, Bullitt, Vanishing Point. To me, that was the best time for American movies, especially these kinds of movies. We loved the taciturn, no-named character and the writing style of the script, too. We wanted to be very sparse and lean, so it’s definitely a throwback, we hope.”
When we spoke with director George Tillman Jr., he also listed love of 70s cinema as one reason he came on board, particularly how movies of that era were more grounded in reality than today’s movies. He also said those reasons are why Billy Bob Thornton signed on, and how the unconventional ending could lead to a sequel:
“It started with the script but, for me, it really started when I met with Billy Bob Thornton. He told me he hadn’t done a film in a couple of years and he wanted something he could sink his teeth into. When he first came out, his first day on the set, he was playing in the grey area. He’s a heroin addict, he’s a cop. He’s not black or white. As soon as he came in, you’re looking at the Driver, who has not more than 20 or 25 lines throughout the whole movie, you’re looking at guys like in the everyday world today, that are not clear-cut. That’s what I’ve been more attracted to. Even with my last film, Notorious. Everybody had this perception of The Notorious B.I.G., who he was, but there was a different side to him. Everything was in grey and I liked that about all these characters, The Killer, The Driver. The movie has a very un-Hollywood ending and, at the same time, it helps you for a sequel too. Those are the things that are attractive, there’s more to real life that people can identify with and it grounds it to a certain degree.
