Captain Kidd (Tom Hanks) travels across Texas to deliver
national headlines to small-town residents.
According to Greengrass, the idea was to construct a " long-flowing
action sequence. It starts as one thing, a wagon chase, and then becomes
a foot chase, and then becomes a gunfight, and then we go to the resolution. Dariusz and I both were struck with the textures of the [mountain
location] - all the dust, sand and stone. It was a brutal and dramatic
visual palette to set the sequence in. There were also a tremendous number of safety issues associated with that sequence, particularly when we
got really high up. It would take a couple of hours to get everybody into
position to shoot, and then a couple more to come down. " The director
adds that Wolski is " indefatigable in reaching a place where he can get
the shot that he wants. It was a real adventure for us, and a lot of hard
work. We weren't on a soundstage - we were out in the middle of the
desert, doing it like a proper Western. "
Wolski notes that the filmmakers " had to cheat two different locations " to make the scene work, because they couldn't bring a wagon or
horses high into the mountains. " We shot the 'beef' of the scene with the
main actors first, " Schaer says, after which the operator led a 2nd unit
that shot material featuring the villains to tie the action together.
" We used three handheld cameras for the action sequences almost all
the time - that gave us plenty of angles and action, " Schaer continues.
" For the shootout, Paul and Dariusz chose a location below a dramatic
cliff [that was] only accessible by foot, not even by mules or horses. For
a few weeks, a team of motivated two-legged 'goats' - aka crewmembers - made an early-morning ascent into the gnarly rocks to set up
