What do you get when she closes a young criminal in a luxurious sport vehicle that is contempt for to punish her infiltrators, thanks to some sadistic and serious planning by its wealthy owner and revenge? Well, if these two people are run by Bill Scarsgard and Anthony Hopkins, the film is directed by David Yarovsky, you will get a wild journey of fear of the chaotic camera, fear of jumping and danger that escalates with each scene. All within the borders of SUVs.
When Yarovesky was given the scenario to “Locked”, which was opened in theaters on March 21, it was immediately attracted to the story and how the characters risk increased constantly. Moreover, the narrow quarters in which the procedure had a creative challenge – technically – could not resist it. “I haven’t made a movie like this before,” says Yarovsky. “I felt a space that could use something really feel membership and tense.”
“Really tense” puts it moderate. In the minute in Skarsgård from Eddie closes the car door and then cannot open it, its world begins to spin … and the audience immediately feels that he is besieged with him. As the film advances and the wall -resistant and unprecedented walls in the car are more strictly, the appearance and appearance of the film continues and continues to build when William Hopkins increases in mind, using a programmed car mainly, captive. With only two main people – one of them heard mostly and did not see him – and one of the very small settings for the story’s novel, Yarovesky’s mission was not an easy task.
William Anthony Hopkins Edi tells, “I want to offer you a little bit of hell.” He does.
While William begins to communicate with Billy through the vehicle’s computer system, his madness becomes very clear, and it is a power struggle that plays inside the car, which is reflected in cinematic filming.
“This film was made madly difficult,” Yarovsky laughs. “I fired at 19 days, and we tied our hands in many ways. It is an independent movie, so I had no big studio to throw money on things, and this has provided a full set of challenges. Then again, one of the other space of this space that is known specifically, but there is a way to make it anywhere. Panavision, Magic has been made.
“Dan has built US lenses for this,” explains Yarovsky. “The lenses can not focus anywhere close enough to put them in a car with another person, so he built for us the widest visual lens in its stock and then forced us to other lenses until we make it until the minimum distance to escalate is inch.” During the shooting of “Dunkirk” by Kierston Nolan, Sassaki had an idea of a lens with the elbow joint, but did not get its construction – even “closed”.
David Yarovsky directs Anthony Hopkins in “Locked”.
The “Locked” production designer Grant Armstrong worked under similar restrictions on “Gravity” science fiction for the year 2014 that they called in tight spaces that resemble Qurna. “In order to do this (on” Gravity “), they built it on a platform and in cutting on the bars, so it was very easy – with one arm, you can just slide a quarter of the group and slide it directly. So we started talking about doing this with the interior group so that we can do anything, and we can be completely free.”
On the surface, “Locked” looks like a awakening movie. As you know, the procedures have consequences and do not pay the crime. But is there a political statement here about the law and order? Yarovesky says it deepens – a lot Deeper – from that.
He says: “Politics has been afflicted with every aspect of our lives these days. It is almost impossible in 2025 to write a personality and not know their political position and their beliefs on the things of a couple, and it is an unfortunate statement about what we are.” “But this is not a political film. Thus, as a movie director, I tried my best of my ability to assess this scale. I allowed two people to really argue with it and offer one.
