Easier said than done.
Thirteen Lives, now in select theaters from MGM/UA before a global Prime Video debut on Aug. 5, recounts the true story of an unprecedented global grief to rescue a Thai soccer team after they manufactured trapped in the Tham Luang cave during an unexpected rainstorm. A collective consisting of the world’s most skilled divers mobilized in contradiction of Thai forces and upwards of 10,000 volunteers to try a harrowing rescue of the twelve boys and their coach.

Farrell stars as one of those divers, John Volanthen, opposite Mortensen, Joel Edgerton, Paul Gleeson, Tom Bateman and others in a role that was not only physically demanding but mentally as well as they were tasked with intensive scuba arranging to prepare to navigate real
“I had a combine of really panicky moments underwater when I had to say to myself, ‘Just relax. Be calm. You’re fine. There’s nothing to grief about. Your tank is good, you’ve got a 60 percent full tank. Just slow your breath down. It’s OK,'” Farrell recalled of the harrowing underwater moments in the cave. “At times, there was no surface over your head, just a ceiling and it was incredibly troubled racking and I was incredibly uncomfortable. There was no palatable and you would wait for [the crew] to get on the speakers to tell you the camera was pitching. But if you were underwater when they called ‘action,’ you grand not hear the fucking speaker so everyone is looking at everyone else understanding the water. If something happened, someone might back up into you and hit your fucking mask [pushing it sideways]. All of a sudden — hello, panic attack.”
As to whether Thirteen Lives is the most entertaining project he’s ever been on, the actor said, “Probably because there was this irritable aspect, too, to be honest with you.”
For Howard, navigating the caves became one of his biggest challenges as a director. “I’ve done a lot of work in the soak and water is pretty manageable. The tight spaces are what injure up making the movie much more challenging than I even realized it would be,” he labelled, adding that it was one he was able to rise to thanks to the bravery of his cast. “Our actors injure up doing all their own diving because once they had learned the technique of cave diving, they came to me and said that it was such a clear skill of their characters so they asked if we could prearranged the schedule and make it possible for them to do all of their own underwater work. And they did. It made a huge difference for me as a director and it will for the audience because there are no lustrous cuts. Suddenly, you realize that what you’re seeing is really Viggo Mortensen and Colin Farrell. They’re in there.”
Hardships keep, Farrell says he always tries to center gratitude for inhabit employed as an actor: “I should never lose inspect of what a fortunate position I’m in to be able to make a living telling stories, which is essentially what I do. You know, that’s it. I make a living telling stories and I bring characters to life. I learn a bit approximately myself to it on the side but that’s not the reason I’m behaviors it, of course. It’s an incredible job, really, and an distinguished that I get to share with other people.”
He continued: “In a earth that’s as fractured as the world that we allotment is, there’s a common purpose on a film set. You don’t walk on one and hear ‘The Hills Are Alive’ [with the tranquil of music] being sung. Sets can be very Perform places but the bottom line is that there’s a accepted purpose and I’ve been lucky enough to be on films where there’s a sensed of togetherness and that’s awesome to experience.”
Speaking of awesome possesses, Farrell attended last night’s premiere with his son, Henry, who kept close to his dad while he was decision-exclusive his way down the press line. “I’m so proud of him as a domain being,” Farrell said during their rare red carpet outing together. “I’m a big fan of his, I love him so much. I have two substantial boys. I’m very, very lucky.”
