Reacher, an American crime television series with season 3 coming soon, is the saga of a military veteran, Jack Reacher who does battle with criminals in an action-packed drama. This is the filming of one of the fight scenes that is set to take place on July 4th in a small American town. It is actually being filmed in Millbrook, Ontario, Canada in April 2024. Despite cool temperatures and bare trees, the town was transformed into an American town summer scene in a matter of days leading up to the filming. This never-before-seen footage was captured by a drone with high zoom capabilities. Although the drone was set far back to avoid the propeller sound being picked up by the microphones on the set, the view that it provides is clear due to the high-powered zoom. We see many takes of "Jack" confronting criminals who mean to do him harm. He works through the three thugs with little effort. He avoids the punches and dishes out some of his own. Two thugs have their skulls bashed together as the third runs for a baseball bat. Even a bat doesn't scare Jack. He pulls it out of the thug's hands and discards it as he prepares to give that thug an extreme closeup of the truck. Jack is huge and ripped and the fight is believable as he deals with each threat. The look at the filming process is fascinating. Multiple takes and many hours are required for what becomes a few seconds on the screen. Attention to detail is obvious as we see the planning of camera angles and the setup of the items on the set. Continuity is important and objects cannot move between the scenes. The cast and crew work harder than we would ever imagine as they bring us the excitement and the action in such a precise manner. Actors repeat the scene over and over until they get it perfect. They watch the clip on a monitor after a successful take and possibly, they decide to refine it even more. Aside from the excitement of a big production in a small town, Jack and the crew won the hearts of the locals with their fun-loving and generous nature. Alan Ritchson and the actors spoke to children and parents, posing for selfies and showing that they loved their fans almost as much as the fans loved them. It was a beautiful experience for this sleepy little town. Enjoy this little peek at the way the show is made. Released within hours of filming, it's a sneak peak like none other. Based on the book by Lee Childs.
