Obliterated Interview: Is Nick Zano the Next Chris Pratt?
We’ve seen some exceptional stunt-heavy set pieces in countless spy/military shows and films. But, what if those operatives were drunk and/or high while on their missions? That’s the question Netflix’s downright wild new action comedy, Obliterated, poses.
Shelley Hennig’s Ava Winters is a CIA agent leading a special forces group investigating a nuclear threat in Las Vegas. After managing to track down and disarm the bomb, the group opts to celebrate — hard. After a considerable amount of drinking and indulging in other substances, they get a call from their superior informing them that the bomb was a fake and the real one is still out there. With bellies full of booze and who knows what coursing through their bloodstreams, they’ve got no choice but to pull it together and get back out there in order to save Vegas.
With Obliterated now available to stream on Netflix, I got the chance to chat with stunt coordinator Marcus Young and military technical advisor Kevin Kent about what it was like whipping up realistic action scenes for a group of trained experts post-rager. Hear all about their most ambitious stunt scenes, and why Kent is convinced that Nick Zano is following in the footsteps of Chris Pratt, Mark Wahlberg, and John Krasinski in this Obliterated interview.
