Watch Elisabeth Moss Fight The Invisible Man

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

This is not your typical domestic fight. In The Invisible Man, the writer and director Leigh Whannell wanted a visceral way to represent the physical yet invisible threat to the films lead, Cecilia, played by Elisabeth Moss. It all comes together in this kitchen scene, where Cecilia is lifted into the air by her unseen tormentor, then flung around the room. It took a team of stunt performers, visual effects artists and a committed star to make it happen. Moss, who has dance training, did some of the physical work in the scene, with her stunt double taking on the most intense elements. Moss was assisted by wires, while also tussling with a stunt performer in a green body suit who would later be erased by visual effects. To get the elements of the shot right, Whannell said the team used a motion-control camera, a robotic rig that is capable of executing the same move from take to take with expert precision. They first shot the scene without performers, then shot it again with the actors in place. Because much of the action is meant to look as if its been captured in one continuous shot, the filmmakers had to figure out a way to cut to Mosss stunt double for a moment she gets thrown across a table. Because of the motion control, they could match up the frames in different takes and stitch them together. The Sydney company Cutting Edge worked to bring the invisibility effects to life.

This looks awful. Nothing about it looks even vaguely real or threatening. Sorry guy, this was a decent idea but you didnt even come close to pulling it off. For starters, whats with all the ultra-fast movements? If this was a real fight, things like dragging a person across a floor would actually look much slower. Flipping a table sideways makes no sense in the context of an actual fight. No one can throw a human being across a room like that. I could go on.

I know they use stunt doubles to ensure the actors safety because they need them for the rest of the production, but I would be able to handle being thrown across a table and land of the ground. Im not saying that Elizabeth cant handle it, I know she can, but thats just more money they couldve saved.

Elizabeth Moss is a great actress we all know that but I havent seen anyone talk about Leigh Whannell the man responsible for this movie. He is truely underrated af. Look what he made with a shoestring budget of 7 million. The man deserves more respect

The movie is tense in a way that, that alone makes it close to a modern classic. It's genuinely toe curling and brutally tense and leith is a great director. Moss is a beast!

I like using Google news. If a news source tries to charge me money I block that source. If a news source looks like a paid advertisement for a celebrity i block that source.

The attic ladder scare was good. Everyone in the theater chuckled at ourselves because that got us and we couldn't hide the fact!

Towards almost the end of the movie, I keep asking, how come there's no shadow of the invisible man? Can anyone explain that?
