Not atonof info is out there about6Underground, Netflix’s upcoming Michael Bay flick starringRyan Reynolds. We know the script comes fromDeadpoolwritersRhett ReeseandPaul Wernick, that it’s currently filming for a 2019 release date, and that it’s either about a group of billionairesforming an underground hit squador it’ssecretly aThundercatsmovie. Either way, Reynolds took to Twitter today to confirm the one piece of information we could have already bet money on: This Michael Bay film features a few extraordinarily loud explosions and at least one car crash.
TheDeadpoolstar’s behind-the-scenes video sees the actor on-set describing the “stillness” of working on a Bay film. “The best part of shooting with Michael Bay?” Reynolds says. “A lot of people would say the action, for me it’s the stillness. Those quiet moments…”
Behind him, pyro explodes right on cue and a car straight flies through the air, careening over a few more stunt drivers crashing into each other.
This is pretty par for the course for your average Michael Bay joint; the only thing the director loves more than strangely erotic shots of military helicopters is a good bit of pyrotechnics. Bay is probably best known as the mind behind theTransformersfranchise, a series of CGI orgies in whichMark Wahlbergplaying an inventor only ranks like 500th on a list of ridiculous plot points. I once tried to explain them beginning-to-end and the processquite literally drove me insane. Even then, I’ll admit I’m genuinely curious what a film blending Bay’s fiery tendencies with theDeadpoolwriters' over-the-top sensibilities looks like.
Check out Reynolds' video below.6 Underground—which also starsMelanie Laurent,Dave Franco,Ben Hardy, andCory Hawkins—is currently filming and slated to hit Netflix in 2019.
