In the Grey is now playing in theaters. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jake Gyllenhaal and Henry Cavill met in Guy Ritchie\u2019s trailer on the first day of filming their new thriller In the Grey, and cheered each other on throughout the improv-heavy production. Ritchie, who wrote and directed the movie, is known for his constant script changes and focus on discovery while filming. In an exclusive interview with IGN, Gyllenhaal says that process allowed him and Cavill to hone their characters in real time. <\/p>\n

\u201cWith Guy, there’s a lot of improvisation, a lot of discovery,\u201d Gyllenhaal says. \u201cLines change in the moment, scenes shift on the day. We had a scene where we got the lines maybe a few minutes beforehand. All I did was root for Henry to remember his next line, and when he got through it, I was terrified I had to remember mine. That kind of thing keeps you incredibly present.\u201d<\/p>\n

In The Grey, which also stars Eiza Gonz\u00e1lez (The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare), Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl), Carlos Bardem (Assassin\u2019s Creed), and Fisher Stevens (Succession), follows \u201ca covert team of elite operatives who live in the global shadows. When a ruthless despot steals a billion-dollar fortune, the team is sent to steal it back on what would be for anyone else a suicide mission. What begins as an impossible heist gets much worse, spiraling into an all-out war of strategy, deception and survival.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although both Gyllenhaal and Cavill had previously worked with Ritchie, In the Grey marks their first joint on-screen appearance. According to Gyllenhaal, the two actors didn\u2019t have much time together before being dropped right into the action. <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat’s funny is that Henry and I hadn’t met before day one,\u201d Gyllenhaal says. \u201cWe encountered each other in Guy’s trailer on the first morning of filming. So, there wasn’t much time to workshop a shared reference point. Guy had a very clear sense of who these two (characters) were in relation to each other from the start, and that gave us a strong foundation to build from.\u201d<\/p>\n

After previously appearing in Ritchie\u2019s 2023 film The Covenant, Gyllenhaal says teaming up with the director on another film was an easy decision. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like one big film in a way, because you’re really in his world,\u201d Gyllenhaal says. \u201cHe comes back and says, \u2018You want to come dive in again?\u2019 And you go, \u2018Yeah, sure. I love it in there. The water’s warm.\u2019 What’s also unique is that he’s constantly editing as he goes. He’s shaping the story, showing you cut scenes and then you’re shaping the next scene together. It doesn’t work the way normal movies do, which is why it’s very hard to communicate what it’s really like. Everyone’s on their toes. And if you enjoy that, which I do, it’s a hell of a time.\u2019 <\/p>\n

In the film, Gyllenhaal plays Bronco, an ex-special forces agent who joins Gonzalez\u2019s character on a mission after she previously broke him out of prison. From far-flung locales, to the intense action, Gyllenhaal says that the spectacle of In the Grey is what makes it special. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou’ve got to go see this one in the cinema because it’s meant for the cinema,\u201d Gyllenhaal says. \u201cIt’s a huge spectacle full of fun, the way we’ve loved movies for decades. Guy is making it for that. And what’s remarkable is that it’s also completely original. It’s very hard to do something truly original now; to find a new way in, to do it differently, with a unique voice. That’s pretty much an impossibility. And yet you know when you’re going to see a Guy Ritchie movie that you’re going to see something original.\u201d<\/p>\n
