Extraction 2 has twice the action of the first film – and a new intense one-shot sequence
>
Extraction 2 will feature twice as many action scenes as its predecessor, according to a new behind-the-scenes look at the Netflix film.
Released as part of Netflix’s Tudum 2022 festivities, the promo film takes viewers inside the making of the action movie starring Chris Hemsworth. And, based on what director Sam Hargrave is teasing, it sounds like Extraction 2 will really amplify the action from the Netflix movie that preceded it.
Watch the behind-the-scenes teaser for Extraction 2 below:
“With a title of ‘two’ after your name, you to have to bring at least twice the action,” Hargrave boasts during the 80-second teaser. The featurette certainly positions Extraction 2 as a stepping stone from the first Extraction movie, with multiple explosions, gunfights and chase sequences seen throughout.
Interestingly, Hargrave also hinted that Extraction 2 will feature an even better ‘oner’ – aka a seemingly continuous one-shot sequence that keeps the audience in the thick of the action for a multi-minute scene. A similar sequence was the main selling point of the first Extraction movie. However, as Hargrave says, “For Extraction 2, we’re going to push that [oner shot] even further with a series more complicated and extreme than before.”
The featurette suggests that such an upgrade could be possible, with a camera setup passed between multiple crew members during some potentially lengthy and intense action sequences. However, we’ll have to wait for the release of Extraction 2 to see if Hargrave has the money.
Extraction 2 doesn’t have a release date on Netflix yet, but it’s coming sometime in 2023. In the epic action movie, Hemsworth will reprise his role as Black Ops mercenary Tyler Rake from the first film, with Golshifteh Farahani also returning as Rake’s mercenary partner Nik Khan. It is unclear whether Rudhraksh Jaiswal will appear as Ovi Mahajan Jr., the son of an Indian crime lord, in the sequel.
