Skyscraperfirst come on to multitude ’s radio detection and ranging thanks to the gloriously silly post horse , feature Ford in one of the movie ’s key scenes , where he ’s forced to jump from a crane and into The Pearl . The internetwasted no timeposting memes about how unsufferable this leap would be , and that there ’s no way Ford would live it . Now in a new interview withCinemaBlend , director Rawson Marshall Thurber has grant the meme Jehovah probably have a pointedness .
I loved them and we all kind of express joy and went , ' Yeah ! They ’re not wrong ! ' What was really interesting is that poster , sign their hearts in marketing , the aloofness of that jump was I think double of what ’s in the movie . So I intend we deserve the memes and query marks to be made merriment of for something like that . In the film itself , the start is much more believable . It ’s still overstated of row but it ’s probably ten per cent cinematic license there . Not a seventy - five - foot start .
The jump Ford has to make inSkyscraperis still moderately improbable , but it ’s not quite as logic - stretching as the one seen in the card . James Grover Thurber is more than cognisant his movie is intended as a fluffy legal action blockbuster , so it ’s nice to see he ’s hold a sense of witticism about the myriad jibe that were thrown at the poster .
Dwayne Johnson has enjoyed a robust streamlet of huge blockbusters in recent twelvemonth , from theFast & Furiousmovies toJumanji : Welcome To The Jungle . The projected underwhelming execution ofSkyscraperhas some questioning whether his popularity is wane slightly , but even if the movie does n’t do great business in the U.S. , the international numbers will in all likelihood make up for that .
BesidesSkyscraper , the mavin still has slew of major film on the view , including theHobbs & Shawspinoff , Jungle Cruiseand aJumanjisequel . Given the stride Johnson works at , interview will be seeing plenty more from the histrion in the near future .
