After a number of years and many delays, Sony’s Kraven the Hunter film is lastly popping out in just below a month. (Hopefully, assuming there’s no sudden last-minute shift.) The film is promoting itself by asking two questions: first, do you need to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson enjoying one in all Spider-Man’s best-known villains, albeit in a narrative with out the wallcrawler himself? And second, do you wanna see him enact so much violence on waves of poor goons?
Lately, Sony put out a behind the scenes video whereby Taylor-Johnson and director J.C. Chandor (A Most Violent Yr) discuss up their upcoming movie. Throughout their soundbytes are clips of Kraven principally changing into a slasher villain: he chases down automobiles whereas barefoot, climbs up closely fortified buildings with ease, and kills an entire bunch of dudes in plenty of gnarly methods. You’ve in all probability seen most of those in prior trailers, however they’re nonetheless fairly vicious, given what number of he pulls off through the use of no matter’s in grabbing distance. (RIP to the man speared by rebar.)
Kraven is the primary R-rated superhero flick from Sony, whose Venom earlier motion pictures typically felt defanged as PG-13 fare. To Chandor, this principally needed to be R-rated, as embracing the violence made for a “way more sincere” movie. Along with being an origin film, he described it as a “household saga and good old school gangster story.” Taylor-Johnson echoed that sentiment by stating that Kraven’s simply utilizing the talents he grew up studying from his father, performed by Russell Crowe. Each males careworn how actual their film is in comparison with different cape movies: actual places, actual stunts executed by Taylor-Johnson, all in service of what the actor known as a “uncooked, gritty, real-world film.”
We’ll see how actual the whole lot comes off when Kraven the Hunter hits theaters on December 13.
