00:00 So this is a sequence where Dhawan and Rachel

00:03 kind of are free falling from the chopper

00:06 in the middle of the atmosphere.

00:07 They're actually just like fighting

00:09 in the middle of the air.

00:10 So it's quite intense.

00:12 - Go away!

00:13 - Okay, so I'm afraid to hurt you.

00:16 - Oh, you can't hurt me, I don't like you.

00:18 - You're an angel.

00:19 (upbeat music)

00:21 Heart of Stone is my first Hollywood film.

00:24 It's my first English language film.

00:26 It's my first action film.

00:27 It's also the first film I shot

00:29 when I was pregnant for the first time.

00:31 So honestly, a lot of firsts.

00:33 (indistinct)

00:36 So a typical day on set works like this.

00:38 So usually you arrive on set

00:41 and you head straight for hair and makeup.

00:43 Everybody gets their makeup done together.

00:45 You get into costume, you get mic'd,

00:47 and then you wait to be called on to set

00:49 until your shot is ready.

00:51 So we are shooting in an abandoned,

00:54 sort of old, run down, used to be a hospital.

00:57 This sequence is basically like the charter safe house.

01:01 We don't know why it's in an abandoned hospital.

01:04 So we have cameras set up and it's Gaal's shot.

01:07 I'm not in frame, but I'm here for cues.

01:09 And then that's the director's set up

01:11 and the monitor where he sits.

01:13 He's very close to us so that he can give notes

01:16 and like, it's very quick.

01:18 I met Gaal the first time.

01:21 We were supposed to start shooting in a couple of months

01:24 and she was extremely warm, classic Gaal,

01:27 like just like really lovely,

01:29 talking to me like she's known me for years.

01:31 I was very nervous before,

01:33 but she completely put me to ease

01:36 and made it so comfortable.

01:37 And one of the key things I remember during that meeting

01:39 was she asked Tom, she asked me,

01:40 "Would you like a cup of coffee?"

01:43 So I said, "Yeah."

01:43 Here I was thinking she's gonna call some assistant

01:46 and ask them to, but she went herself

01:49 and she made the coffee and she brought it to us.

01:51 ♪ Happy birthday to you ♪

01:55 (laughing)

01:57 - I think my favorite scene

02:00 when Kea and Rachel are abandoned together in the desert,

02:05 they have nowhere to go

02:06 and they're just kind of stuck with each other.

02:08 We're shooting the scene where Kea and Stone

02:12 are in the desert and they're walking and they're talking.

02:14 The interesting thing is it's really cold outside,

02:17 but it's really hot inside.

02:18 Tom, our director, wants to recreate

02:20 the exact feel of the desert.

02:22 So it's hot and it's humid, it's dry, we're sweating,

02:26 and there's hot wind and dust going into our eyes,

02:29 so it literally feels like we're right there.

02:31 We've got a couple of scenes to do today.

02:33 There is a little hold up,

02:34 which happens a lot on a film set.

02:37 You have to just wait.

02:38 I learned very early on in my career

02:40 that a lot of acting is just waiting.

02:43 That can mean many things,

02:45 like waiting for the right film,

02:46 waiting for the shot, waiting for something special,

02:50 just waiting and waiting.

02:51 Most of the time, most of the time, the wait is worth it.

02:55 I think every film set has the same energy,

03:00 and the energy being, honestly, strangers coming together,

03:05 becoming a family, working towards one vision,

03:08 one idea, one story, and just giving it their all

03:12 on a daily basis and putting that before themselves.

03:14 I think that is the story of every film set

03:17 in every language around the world.

03:20 (upbeat music)

03:22 Okay, and that's a wrap.

03:23 Our last day on shooting for Heart of Stone,

03:26 but the first day for you to watch Heart of Stone,

03:28 so go watch Heart of Stone.

03:29 (dramatic music)

03:32 you
