[b]Greg van Borssum,[/b]born in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia Second Unit Director of [b]Mad Max: Fury Road[/b] (also weapons advisor, weapons consultant, fight choreographer & stunt performer) gave an interview to [b]Blitz Martial Arts Magazine[/b] and here is what he said about his experience working with [b]Tom Hardy[/b]: [center] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/rKm6jny.png[/IMG][/center] [i] Tom came to the table with a ton of ideas all based on where he wanted to take the character. We spent so much time sitting around talking about character and movement - it was fantastic. Tom didn’t like to rehearse the shorter sequences much and it proved to be a Godsend. It meant he was actually playing catch-up in the fights, as would really happen. It gave me what I always wanted for the fight scenes in this film, which was to have the choreography hidden inside what looked like a real fight and not let you see the beats. [center] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/BQ65nAb.jpg[/IMG][/center] Tom is brilliant to work with; he is versatile, knowledgeable and an all-round good bloke Richard [Norton] and I had so much fun working with him and we all became great friends who will keep in touch. Tom wanted to push Max in what I feel was the right direction, so it made my life easier.[i]- From Blitz Martial Arts Magazine, April -13. [center] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/IZ7mCkj.jpg[/IMG] [b]Greg Van Borssum (pictured above) on set with Tom Hardy on MMFR[/b][/center] Also, Stunt Coordinator/2nd Unit Director [b]Guy Norris[/b] (known for his work on Lord of the Rings, Australia, and Superman Returns) had this to say in the latest issue of [b]Total Film[/b] magazine. [i]"It's the biggest action film shot in the world at one time. All the stunts are real and CGI was only used to remove the safety cables!"[/i] [center] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/7F9uaiq.jpg[/IMG] [b]Tom Hardy with some fans on set of his new movie Animal Rescue. Notice the Fury Road Crew Logo on his Jacket![/b] [/center] This news sounds very exciting! Sounds like the stunts in Fury Road will raise the bar for films and will be most epic! If Tom Hardy's fighting style is anything like his performance in the movie [i]Warrior[/i], we are all going to be in for a big ACTION treat!
