During his interview with EW, Alan revealed that this pivotal scene was inspired by the original books that Reacher is based upon. The scene involves his character cleverly escaping from pursuers by stripping down and swimming to safety, showcasing both his physical prowess and resourcefulness.
?Having read the book and enjoying it, that was the one [part] that I was like, ?I hope we skip over that,?? he recounted to the outlet. ?Maybe [Reacher] just crawls across the lawn, or perhaps he stays on the grass. But no, we actually built most of that world in a gigantic indoor pool with a wave-maker to enhance the realism.?
He further explained that filming this particular scene proved to be quite challenging.
?That water work was pretty tricky, and stripping down and crawling across those cold, wet rocks naked was not the funnest experience for me or for anyone watching ? but we embraced it because we are passionate about the show,? he remarked, noting that he was genuinely impressed by the significant budget allocated for this scene.
Alan continued, ?I had some friends who have worked on $400 million sets, like Aquaman, and have encountered enormous water world sets, and they all said, ?I?ve never seen anything like this for a water stunt,?? he shared. ?So yeah, it was absolutely crazy.?
If you missed the latest buzz, Alan recently made headlines for slamming a controversial politician he attended school with. He also shared some eye-opening comments made about his physical transformation between seasons of Reacher.
