Orlando Bloom, Caitríona Balfe, John Turturro & Sean Ellis Discuss The Cut & Pushing to the Limit

Описание: While on the surface, The Cut may seem like any other sport or boxing film, it really is a visceral drama that also explores life outside the spotlighted ring. Orlando Bloom leads the drama as a nameless protagonist dubbed "The Boxer," who was sidelined ten years ago and now owns a boxing gym with his wife Caitlin (Caitríona Balfe). When another boxer gets injured before a title fight, Bloom's character returns to the sport to take his place, facing the dire problem of dropping a lot of weight in only six days. He enlists the help of Boz (John Turturro), who ruthlessly guides him through the painful whirlwind of cutting his weight so dramatically, all while Bloom's protagonist is haunted by his past.

In the Cinema Center of the Toronto International Film Festival, Collider's Steve Weintraub talks to director Sean Ellis and cast members Bloom, Balfe, and Turturro about their experience filming The Cut and how it differentiates itself from other sports films. Bloom recounts his harrowing experience of maintaining such a low body weight and how he managed to pull through by relying on the crew. They also talk about filming in reverse chronological order, teasing future seasons of Severance and the final season of Outlander. Hear about Ellis' acute skill with lenses and taking mesmerizing shots of boxing in the video above, or you can read the transcript below.
