Short filmTranscript
00:00Kraven the Hunter is a story of the making of a villain.
00:03My son, they are prey.
00:05We are predators.
00:10This is a standalone movie.
00:11This is Sergei Kravinov becoming Kraven.
00:14It is a family saga.
00:16You are exactly like our father.
00:19You don't get to do that to me anymore.
00:20But it is also a good old-fashioned gangster story.
00:23This is not about money.
00:26This is about power.
00:28J.C. truly does deliver a raw, gritty, real-world movie.
00:33We actually use real locations outside, in the weather.
00:38I'm so lucky I get to do the stunts.
00:39Old-school, real, raw, barefoot, running through the streets of London.
00:44Doing flips and running off the wall.
00:46Because you needed to have that kind of authenticity.
00:51An assassin who uses methods.
00:53Put the animals.
00:54There was some element of bloodlust that he seemed to love.
00:57There's six of us. There's only one of you.
00:59There was a justification for it.
01:00There's six of you now.
01:03And that feels good.
01:04But he is also this very inconsistent, ethically compromised individual.
01:11Embrace who you really are, son.
01:13But yet, still, you're rooting for him.
01:16Once you're on his list, there's only one way off.
01:19Where's Mr. Tagliati?
01:20You're standing in him.
01:24Just ticking the boxes off the list.
01:26What have we got next?
01:27Okay, Chorny. We'll go for him.
01:29Where is he? In a prison, sure. No problem.
01:31The choice to make an R-rated film
01:35allowed me to be far more honest about that journey.
01:38He's not a superhero.
01:40He's a man who's been trained and is skilled.
01:43Hunter and killer.
