A final component in the form of apotheosis. Lost ball 3Final part of the French action franchise in Netflix, launched on Wednesday, May 7 on the transmission platform. A new generosity opus, with action scenes that compete in inventiveness with those of Impossible mission EITHER Fast and furious.
“I don’t know if it’s the most spectacular movie we did in France, I think of Ball With the scene of the great wheel, but in terms of generosity and duration of the action scenes, we did a great thing for France “welcomed BFMTV Guillaume Pierret, the director of the franchise.
Direct continuation of the previous components, Lost ball 3 Follow linen (Alban Lenoir), former police officer who seeks managers of the death of his mentor Charas. Liberated from the prison, he launched the kits of a corrupt police officer, Areski (Nicolas Duvauchelle). A persecution that gives free rein to the pyrotechnic desires of its director.
“We only had to renew ourselves in the creativity of accidents, but also of the vehicles used” specifies Guillaume Pierret. “I could turn with motorcycles, I had many new ideas for accidents or procedures.” But the true star of the film, after the Renault 21 of the first two parts, is … a crane of 6 mon.
A real missile pitcher
“Another symbolic vehicle was needed that could be the flax extension. And that is a crane! It is supposed to help, but Lino uses it to throw everything!
Guillaume Pierret also dreamed of “being able to collide a helicopter.” “This is the first thing I told myself when we launched the 3” still enthusiast of Guillaume Pierret. “But I didn’t even know if I was going to enter the budget. Or if it was feasible.” He has associated with this with David Julienne, grandson of Legend Rémy Julienne.
“Putting this has taken months of discussions, with all departments. We mobilize one hundred people just for that, from VFX to SFX, special effects of the plateau, including cascaders.”
This quite long sequence presents the confrontation between a helicopter and the crane. With a yellow of caresses, this vehicle customized by linen is equipped with a missile launcher. A real missile pitcher really proposes fireworks in the helicopter!
“We do not use digital effects for everything related to the crane. The cannons are functional: real artificial fires are developed and drawn!” Assures the director.
“A pressure we all love”
On the other hand, he used digital effects to add explosions to the scene. “It was for security reasons,” he insists. “The helicopter has a predefined choreography. You must make sure that the fireworks drawn are not damaged or blocked before you have finished the scene! It would have been stupid” it has fun.
About twenty cars were destroyed by the needs of the shooting. In another surprising scene, which inspired Netflix in the movie poster, a vehicle is driven several meters high from a cornice before making a barrel in the air and crashing on the floor.
The difficulty, for action scenes, is to find an unprecedented frame to film them. “The interesting thing is to film the prosecution in places that are not adequate, such as a park or a pedestrian alley in the city center. Putting the vehicles in danger. If we stay on the roads, the sets are too repetitive.”
Realizing these waterfalls is never an exact science. “We repeat as much as we can during the day, we squeeze our buttocks and we see what is happening.” Sumume Guillaume Pierret. “It is a crazy adrenaline, a pressure that we all like. We don’t know at all what will happen. But the result is always great.”
Co -written with the author of Polyl Férey, the story gives the impression that the action, perfectly nested for the narrative, is omnipresent and without dead time, as in Mad Max Fury Road. “Interestingly, there is no more action than in Lost ball 2“Slide the director.” In terms of duration, we always have 30 minutes of action. “
Like Jackie Chan
And if the action is frantic, Guillaume Pierret also likes to make the suspense last. A long scene located on a high -speed tram opposes linen with two henchmen. The sequence, which required 80 extras, passes from ultraviolence to a cartoon humor, as in Jackie Chan’s films, Tales Police.
“I grew up with these movies. This is what I like to see. We needed a new complete and very long fight scene, in the middle of a movie, in a daily place. What interested me was this first degree and hardcore of the fight that is suddenly found in three as in a cartoon” analyzes the director.
“What the characters are happening is very first degree, very difficult, but for us, the spectators, it is very fun to see these three types compete without really knowing what they want.” Explains Guillaume Pierret, who wanted to tell a “very hard” story. “Everything can suddenly stop for the characters. Including linen.”
According to this statement, there will be no quarter. “At the moment, it is over,” he assures the director. On the other hand, think about his next movie. His goal: to go “always in this excess. I would like to go much further. What I did in Lost ball 3 It will be the draft of what I am going to do in the next. “
