Darren Aronofsky on One Sweat-Soaked Scene

Instant Commentary: ‘Noah’ Director Darren Aronofsky on One Sweat-Soaked Scene

Darren Aronofksy’s “Noah" was a particularly wet set, but it wasn’t just because of the rain machines. As we learn in our latest installment of Instant Commentary, the extreme temperatures added more moisture into the mix in the form of some heavy perspiration from his lead actors.

Instant Commentary: Cap's New Fighting Style In ‘Winter Soldier’

Instant Commentary: Cap Gets New Fighting Style In ‘Winter Soldier’

There is a new Cap (Chris Evans) on display in “Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and he is stronger, faster and slightly more laid back and humorous than before. Why? In part because of his blossoming relationship with Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), explained directors (and brothers) Joe and Anthony Russo in our latest installment of Instant Commentary.

'Jurassic World' Instant Commentary: Colin Trevorrow on the Indominus Rex Rampage

There’s a story behind every frame of a film, and Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow told us some great ones. In our latest installment of red shirt, a nod to the classic device made famous in early Star Trek episodes. Trevorrow hired his good buddy Eric Edelstein to play the portlier guard, only to kill him off — he’s the second casualty here. And producer Steven Spielberg (who directed the original 1993 Jurassic Park) had a major hand in one of the subsequent moments. The shot of the Indominus lowering her head to ground level next to the truck where Grady is hiding was dreamed up by Spielberg, who drew it out for Trevorrow on a napkin after watching the dailies.

We wonder how Spielberg’s dino drawing stacks up against Pratt and Trevorrow’s:

Instant Commentary: James Wan Explains How They Parachuted Cars in 'Furious 7'

There are a few expectedly insane action sequences in Furious 7, but none more delightfully ludicrous than the one in which five cars go ?skydiving? after being ejected from a C-130 aircraft. Universal made the full scene available early to whet appetites in advance of the film?s release, so we asked director James Wan to walk us through the stunt and reveal how in the world they pulled it off. Watch the video above to get his moment-by-moment analysis.

The scene was a welcome challenge for Wan, 38, the Malaysia-born filmmaker best known for horror hits like Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring ? all technically impressive movies but none of which feature cars plummeting from the clouds.

"One of the things I wanted to do with this was make it as scary and dangerous-looking as I could, but obviously without putting the actors in harm?s way, " said Wan, before explaining his approach to the sequence. A guy with his track record clearly knows how to make it scary.

Furious 7 opens Friday.
