Phoebe Dynevor standing near the pyramids in Inheritance
While you may know that a new thriller called Inheritance is going to premiere in theaters next week, what you might not know is that, for one of the scenes in the movie, lead star Phoebe Dynevor commited a real-life theft in the name of authenticity. Entertainment Weekly unveiled the scene in which Dynevor commits the crime, and both the actress and director Neil Burger explained how they pulled that off.
The scene is pretty simple and quick. However, knowing that it's all happening for real adds a layer of tension to it, because you start to wonder what might happen if Dynevor gets caught. In the scene, she's at a sunglasses store where she looks through them and tries them on. At one moment, she puts one pair on top of her head instead of putting it back on display, and it's easy to think that she owns the pair and is only looking for a new one.
But why did they decide to pull a real-life theft for a movie? The strategy is linked to to Burger's approach to the whole movie. Filmed entirely on an iPhone, Burger shot Inheritance guerrilla-style — meaning that it was filmed with limited resources and a crew of about ten people, a lot less than you usually see on movie sets. Burger wanted to give a real-life feel to the story, and this style is normally not used in action and thriller movies.
But What If Dynevor Got Caught Stealing? Of course, the team had a plan in case it all went south. In fact, Burger revealed to EW that they"had all sorts of contingency plans, excuses, and explanations" in place. The one that demanded the most work was to send someone from the production team to the store the day before and buy the exact same pair of glasses. That way, Dynevor would have a receipt in case someone from security approached her.
Inheritance tells the story of Maya , a woman who is trying to reconnect with her estranged father and suddenly finds herself caught in the middle of an international conspiracy. Back in November, Collider debuted the trailer for the thriller movie, and next week you'll be able to see if Burger's unique approach to the story made it one of the year's best.
