Actor Stephen Dorff has appeared in his share of thrillers, and he now can be seen in Brake directed by Gabe Torres, in which he plays a secret service agent who finds himself trapped in the trunk of a car speeding down a highway while a group of terrorists make threats on his life, that of his wife and even the President of the United States.
Brake acts as a showcase both for Dorff as an actor but also acts as his second film as a producer following Ric Roman Waugh’s Felon. And those who enjoyed Buried will probably find enough parallels to enjoy what Torres is able to do with very little.
A few weeks back, Shock Till You Drop spoke with Dorff about making the movie, a rather quick-paced chat in which the outspoken actor didn’t hold back his thoughts on other movies, including Buried.
In the video interview below, you can hear Dorff talk about:
- How he got the script and decided to come on board
- How long Gabe Torres had the script before Stephen came on board
- How they kept the project a secret while making it
- The process of making the movie quickly in less than two weeks
- Talking about Felon (Dorff’s previous production) a bit
- Any surprises he got while spending so much time in that trunk
- How he knew Gabe could pull off such a complicated film
- Comparisons to Buried
- Interacting with other actors in the film
- How he’s avoided typecasting
- Trashing the comic book movies that have come since Blade
- Some of the projects he’s producing, including one he wants to do with Jack Nicholson as well as a Western and a documentary
- He talks about going to Israel to shoot Zaytoun, a new directed by Israeli filmmaker Eran Riklis (Lemon Tree, A Syrian Bride)
- And more!
Brake is now playing on Video on Demand and will get a limited theatrical release on March 23.
