47 Meters Down: Uncaged
47 Meters Down : Uncagedpromises to double the chills of 2017 ’s underwater thriller , and it ’s beget a shiny , young tramp quick to present . Actors Brianne Tju , Davi Santos , and Khylin Rhambo all sat down with Screen Rant to share how Johannes Roberts devise them for their ocean wight battle and sort out their own feeling about sharks after their adventure .
Congratulations on the film . terrific . I almost do n’t want to go in the water ; I conceive I about stag myself .
Khylin Rhambo : Goal achieved .
Brianne Tju : Yes !
Quick motion , though . Most of this picture takes place in the water . How much of your performance changes because you ’re in the water and engulf in it ?
Davi Santos : Everything .
Brianne Tju : Entirely .
Davi Santos : It ’s such a learning curve in the first . You ca n’t focus until you get over all of the technical aspects .
Brianne Tju : Yeah . Not only [ that ] . We check , we became scuba - certify , and then they prepared us with all the right attainment sets when it comes to scuba diving . So , we had that face , and being subaqueous is so physically draining . And then on top of that , to do what we do – what we ’ve been hired for , which is to do and be emotional and bring in life to these character – it ’s hard to do while maintaining all these other aspects . So , it was a huge challenge .
Khylin Rhambo : It ’s a heavy balancing enactment kind of thing . We were all there together , and that that was one of the cool things . But also , you had to learn . And there was this mindset that forced you to absorb things really quickly and get the bent of it really speedily , and I liked that .
Tapping into a better part of [ yourself ] and challenging yourself is always amazing , but performance - wise , that was the most intricate matter . To really give authentic , actual emotion without going in your head , like , “ Am I doing this right or doing this right wing ? ” Because the reference ’s not finger that way . The fiber is fully enthralled with whatever tension is going on . So , you really need to get to that place where you ’re absent of thought , and you ’re doing it . That was a challenge ; a musing state you had to get in .
Speaking of getting your character into the right mind-set , this is your theater director ’s 2d prison term doing a 47 Meters Down flick . Did he have any tricks that he would use that he may have find out from the first film to get you guys in the background or into character ’s mindset ?
Brianne Tju : Yeah , he would turn us off . Or grow our mics off if we were getting teasing . He in reality told me that Mandy Moore sometimes , when he would give a direction that she was n’t thrilled about , she would even out her mask so that you could n’t hear Johannes speak .
But in reality , beyond that , when I when I had first meet with Johannes for the recall , he was telling me that it ’s difficult . It ’s hard to choreograph a scene underwater , so most of the time you seek to do it out of piss , but you get down there and it wholly changes . You have to kind of be very flexible , very open .
One of the great struggles , in my opinion , was the masquerade party because you do n’t really have peripheral visual sense . And then also , you hear yourself breathing . So , it ’s really hard to have a dialogue with somebody . Which is so important , plainly . But if you wanted to hear the other person talking , you had to hold your breath – or make certain you were breathing in rather than out , because then you would have these bubbles and it would be very distracting .
Wow , that ’s crazy .
Brianne Tju : And he warned me of all that beforehand . So , I was wild and said , “ Yeah , I ’ll do it . ”
Davi Santos : I know . Like “ Oh , yeah . If you go in the water , it ’s gon na be so easy because you ’re like there . So , of form … ”
Brianne Tju : You do n’t have to act !
Davi Santos : “ You do n’t have to act . ” Then , all of a sudden , all this stuff happen . You ’re like , “ Oh , I have to play so much more ! ”
Has this film deepen your perception about sharks in any way ?
Khylin Rhambo : Man , no . I ’ve always been frightened of sharks , man . I was the kind of kidskin that would drown underwater – this was in a syndicate – and I would see the deep end side . So , I ’m in spades cool down back in the kiddie area . I would see the recondite end , and I would I would honestly see the silhouette of a shark . And I hated it . That when I would be like , “ I got ta get out of water now . ” I was get so much fun , but this ?
Brianne Tju : Even if it ’s a pool .
Khylin Rhambo : Even if it ’s a pond ! So this ? I ’m still scared of sharks . Honestly , when people say shark are beautiful , I ’m just like , “ Alright , bro … ”
Brianne Tju : No , but like … Okay , see , because I said that to begin with .
Khylin Rhambo : That ’s a fiend right there . It ’s a beautiful monster .
Brianne Tju : Absolutely . It ’s a beautiful creature , and it ’s huge , and it ’s scary , and it ’s vicious . But does n’t mean that I ’m gon na hang out with it .
Davi Santos : We ’re all count at the bill sticker .
Khylin Rhambo : expect at that ! It ’s not beautiful .
Brianne Tju : I do n’t desire to hang out with it ! I do n’t want to be anywhere near one , 100 % . Before the pic , during the motion picture , after the movie ; I have never had the urge to be near a shark . But I like Shark Week . I wish to keep an eye on shark movies .
