EXCLUSIVE: Boat Chase, Gunfire & Stunts On The U.N.C.L.E. Set

Solo makes a jump for it on the latest set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

It's been anything but a quiet week, on the latest set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. 

With production expected to wrap in about a month or so, this week the cast and crew have been filming some big action scenes involving Henry and Armie. This is part of the filming notice neighbors received ahead of the shoot. 

marliimarl_ has been checking out some of the U.N.C.L.E. sets, and has exclusively shared her photos with us (she shot the latest pics of Henry). Now she's back with more! 

marliimarl_: The congregation of security/divers/rescue/stuntmen/camera operators/actors etc.. ahead of the boat scene. Solo will sit on the boat and then there's a stunt with gunfire. You can see the extras with guns in the window above.

marliimarl_: This is the set to the left of the image above. They have built something in the bottom left hand corner made out of wood. I believe this is part of the set.

marliimarl_: Setting up for the scene. I think Henry is kneeling behind those white things to the left of the boat.

Blurry Henry wearing his black outfit, with his stunt double nearby. 

marliimarl_: Boat on the water! (and more blurry Solo).

marliimarl_: Here the two guys to the right are setting up a ‘pad’ for the stunt guy to jump onto, when he pretend jumps onto the boat.

marliimarl_: Henry on land, stuntman on boat?

marliimarl_: The clapperboards come out. There's one by the boat and see the guy up in the window with the extras? They are ready to shoot!

marliimarl_: you can see how they have cleared the set of people.

marliimarl_: They are given the all clear!

marliimarl_: And all hell breaks loose! Guns go off! I think this is a stunt double I don’t think it’s Henry. They did this in ONE take! (Us: we think it IS Henry!).  

marliimarl_: Guns still blazing! See extras still aiming at boat.

marliimarl_: Scene over. This is the camera boat that was out of view earlier.

marliimarl_: Crew setting up a scene with a truck.

No actors in these pics, but a better look at the set, truck, and boat involved in the scenes.

marliimarl_: More truck scene set up. Cameras were on the water.

marliimarl_: There were fireworks last night, 5th of November, Guy Fawkes day in the UK. This was the view from the set, like if we turned around and looked away from the set. Canary Wharf and the spiky thing on the left corner is the O2, a huge arena where most concerts are held. A bit of random information for you there.. and this is where I left - blimmin’ cold!

Thanks to marliimarl_ for exclusively sharing with us her first hand account and awesome pics of filming on the latest set of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. - We can't wait to see this film on the big screen, and these cool set updates only make us more excited!

Cast & Crew Bundle Up, As U.N.C.L.E. Films At Two Locations

The tweets tell the story. With about a month left before a production wrap on The Man from U.N.C.L.E., it's been all work at two separate UK sets this week. And while there have been plenty of Henry sightings at the gym (go Superman!), it seems as Solo.. he's playing the elusive spy a little too well.

Preparation for the next scene, it's running like a Swiss watch. #ManfromUNCLE

As we said, there's only a few more weeks left of filming on The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and then it's on to post-production. Hopefully we get a release date before the end of the year. 

Exclusive Chat With Henry Cavill's 'Man of Steel' Stunt Double Paul Darnell

Paul & Henry got their scuba diving training together 

We're kicking off the one week countdown to the Man of Steel Blu-ray/DVD release with a site exclusive. We had the chance to chat with Henry Cavill's stunt double Paul Darnell in Los Angeles, where he owns the Tempest Freerunning Academy. He shared his experience on working with Henry, director Zack Snyder, and he even answered some of your fan questions.

Paul stands by as Henry prepares for a stunt 

Some of the underwater work Paul and Henry had to get their scuba diving certification for.

 

Henry talks about what that experience was like, in this new behind the scenes clip from the Man of Steel Blu-ray.

Look for Part 2 of our exclusive interview with Paul next Tuesday. He talks more about his gym, answers fan questions, and he has THE BEST Henry bromance story that you definitely don't want to miss!
