With directorPeter Berg’sMile 22opening in theaters this weekend, I recently got to sit down withLauren CohanandIko Uwaisfor an exclusive video interview. If you haven’t seen any of thetrailers,Mark Wahlbergstars as an operative from the CIA’s most highly prized unit, who is tasked with retrieving and transporting a valuable intelligence asset (Uwais) through 22 life-threatening miles of dangerous territory. As you would expect from a Berg/Wahlberg collaboration (they previously madeLone Survivor,Deepwater HorizonandPatriots Day), the film is loaded with edge-of-your-seat action and intense situations. It alsofeatures some incredible stunt work byIko Uwais– who is making his American film debut after blowing away audiences inThe RaidandThe Raid 2.Scripted byGraham RolandandLea Carpenter, the film also starsRonda Rousey,Carlo AlbanandJohn Malkovich.
During the interview, Lauren Cohan and Iko Uwais talked about what it was like working with Berg and Wahlberg on set, what it’s like working with a director who rarely calls cut, and Uwais talks about how they put together his action set pieces. Plus, they played our new game “Ice Breakers.” If you haven’t yet seen it, it’s a fun game that includes questions like which TV show you would want to be a guest star on, favorite sci-fi/fantasy movie, which film scared you as a kid, what you collect, what TV show have they watched all the way through more than once, and more.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about followed by some recent links to otherMile 22coverage.
