Rumble Through The Dark directors Graham and Parker Phillips discuss Aaron Eckhart's fighting skills, shooting the movie in 23 days, and themes.
Summary Rumble Through The Dark follows Jack Boucher, a former bare-knuckle cage fighter with heavy debts. In a final desperate play to repay the debts he owes, Jack will step back into the ring and fight against impossible odds. Jack finds an unlikely ally in Annette, a carnival hustler, as he tries to salvage the family home of his terminally ill foster mother.
It's obviously a departure from their world, of course, but you want to make it as personal as possible. And Aaron immediately recognized all that he could bring to it. And yeah, the guy is the hardest worker in the room. He was an absolute pleasure to direct, and every day he was fully in character. If he wasn't on-screen, he was doing pushups, lifting weights, or shadowboxing, and he stayed in it all 23 days of our shoot. So, yeah, we felt really lucky to have him.
And he brought that volatility in a way that I thought was really special. And yeah, I mean, another element that he brought that I thought was so special and unique was, despite him wearing the years really well in the history of being a fighter for too long, you still get a sense of the boy that lives in him, which was so important for the heart of the story and his relationship with his foster mother. And I just thought he handled that with so much grace, and it was... Kudos to him.
That is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Talk to me about what the biggest challenge was that you guys encountered while shooting Rumble Through the Dark. And luckily, Aaron has a background in jiu-jitsu, and so Graham and I sat there with our director of photography, David Myrick, and our stunt coordinator, David Conk, and David Conk came to Aaron.
Absolutely. I actually want to talk about your cinematographer for a second, David Myrick. He captures this film as raw and beautiful. We talked about this a little off-screen. It's very gritty, but it has this dreamlike quality to it. Can you talk to me about working with him as a collaborator and what he brought to the project that only he could add?
Now, in talking about working with some of the best actors, Academy Award nominee Marianne Jean-Baptiste is fantastic, as Big Momma Sweet. Talk to me a little bit about the character and what she brought to the role that may have surprised you. I'm going with you, Graham.
