If you’re in America, you can check out C.B. So there was a fair amount of imagination about it, as well as asking lots of questions. You’d only do it if you really had to, so then it was, ell, he really has to because of the situation they’re in, and yeah, he probably has got some kind of… pain threshold from everything he’s been through, and then there’s the point where he can’t go on any more. So we talked about that more and it would be really painful to run on one of those because it’s just not what it’s built for. Burke reached out to Barney Gillespie to ask what that would be like and if someone would actually run on a prosthetic leg.Īnd he said, ell, you wouldn’t.

In addition to using the green screen technology, they also hired a body double for Burke. So I kind of studied how they did that using green screen technology, then we used trick photography to remove the leg. And I’d seen this film, ‘Rust & Bone’, where Marion Cotillard gets both her legs taken off in an accident. I was very keen that we see the leg off, Tom and no leg all in one shot, not just done with a cutaway.
