    The ‘Queen and Slim’ actress talks about the challenges of filming her new action movie, claiming her pregnancy added ‘a layer of complexity’ to her role.

    AceShowbiz –
    Jodie Turner-Smith’s pregnancy added “a layer of complexity” to her starring role in action film “Without Remorse”.

    The 34-year-old actress stars as Lt. Commander Karen Greer in the movie based on Tom Clancy’s novel and opened up about the challenges of filming while she was expecting her baby daughter.

    Jodie, who welcomed 12-month-old Janie to the world with husband, actor Joshua Jackson in April 2020, said, “(Training) wasn’t straightforward because I was pregnant, so that definitely added a layer of complexity to it. But I went after it. I gave it all of myself.”

    The “Queen & Slim” star continued, “We worked really closely with these guys on set who were there to teach us how to operate in combat, how to move with and around each other, how to talk to each other.”

    “We’re emulating guys who have been working together, alongside each other for years, so there needed to be a sense of familiarity and comfort and ease to how they work together.”

    Jodie also revealed how her pregnancy made it more difficult to shoot underwater stunts.

    She told Variety, “I don’t know if you know this, but when you are pregnant, it’s very hard to hold your breath. So, I had unique challenges that my co-stars didn’t have.”

    Turner-Smith also loved having the opportunity to play a trailblazing character in the form of a female Navy SEAL.

    She explained, “I love that filmmakers wanted to create this character, to envision this woman. There’s not a female Navy SEAL right now, but there will be soon. I feel that is what we’re moving towards.”

    “It felt very cool to embody this a little bit ahead of the curve. And to hopefully honour and bring a good representation to women around the world who are serving in the armed forces right now.”

      Jodie Turner-Smith Won't Do Action Film While Pregnant After Grueling Shoot on 'Without Remorse' Set

      by

      Amazon Studios

      The mother of one talks about her experience of filming action movie while she’s pregnant with her first child, saying it’s not something she’d want to endure again.

      Apr 13, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actress Jodie Turner-Smith would think twice before making another action movie while pregnant after pushing herself on the set of “Without Remorse”.

      The “Queen & Slim” star – who shares 11-month-old daughter Janie with husband Joshua Jackson – plays Navy SEAL Karen Greer in the Tom Clancy film adaptation and, although she did her best to look after herself during the gruelling shoot, it’s not something she’d want to endure if she has another baby.

      She said, “I had to look after myself. In hindsight, would I do an action movie while pregnant again? Definitely not.”

      “It’s so often taken for granted when women have children that you just push through and keep going and you can’t slow down, when in all reality you have to give yourself as much time and space as possible.”

      However, Jodie doesn’t have any regrets about taking on the challenge of “Without Remorse”, “I’m glad I did it, it was an experience, but my body needed a lot more rest and relaxation than I was giving it.”

      That was partly because Jodie wasn’t able to skip many of the high-octane sequences.

      She told Total Film, “I didn’t get the chance to sit out many action scenes! Stefano (Sollima, director) likes to capture as much as he can with the actors. So when it came to explosions and stuff like that, we were really in there.”

      “There’s an intense scene with the plane. When we filmed that, there were certain things with hydraulics and shaking that I wouldn’t do because of my baby, but when it came to being blown up and being in a gun fight, I did it. I had a knife fight as well.”

      And Jodie found it particularly “tough” because there were so few women on set.

      “There was one other woman in the cast. And I did it when I was pregnant! It was tough,” she admitted. “Everyone was obviously supportive, but men don’t have the same priorities that women do, and don’t understand what a woman’s body is going through.”

      “So you try to bridge the gap with as much communication as possible.”

      “Without Remorse” also stars Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell. It’s set for release on streaming service Amazon on 30 April (21).

      Michael B. Jordan Looks Back at His Navy SEAL Training for 'Without Remorse' Preparation

      by

      WENN

      Comparing his new action thriller to ‘Black Panther’, the ‘Creed’ star additionally reveals that he wanted it to pay tribute to the ‘Mission: Impossible’ and ‘The Bourne Identity’ franchises.

      Apr 12, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Actor Michael B. Jordan put his fitness to the ultimate test by enduring Navy SEAL training to prepare for his new action thriller “Without Remorse”.

      The “Black Panther” star is no stranger to keeping in shape for movie roles, like his Marvel super villain Killmonger, but he had to step up his workout regimen for the adaptation of the Tom Clancy novel to stay true to his character John Kelly’s military background as a former Navy SEAL-turned-CIA agent.

      He said, ” ‘Black Panther’ was action but it was a different type of action. This was… I don’t know man, it’s so specific. There’s going to be a whole community of military that are going to be watching this thing for all the little details and I wanted to make sure we get them all right.”

      “It was Navy SEAL training,” he explained to Total Film. “I worked with Buck Doyle, who’s a Marine Special Forces guy. I spent a lot of time with him on his ranch, gun training and tactical training. And I worked with James Dever, who’s an ex-Marine as well, [doing] weapons training, explosives, diving, skydiving, plane crashes…”

      There was another reason Michael, who also served as a producer on the project, wanted to make his character and the film’s action sequences as authentic as possible, because he wanted “Without Remorse” to pay tribute to the “Mission: Impossible” and “The Bourne Identity” franchises.

      “I loved these type of movies growing up y’know?” he shared. “And to be able to build the action sequences… to go from a plane crash to diving underwater to jumping to the side of a burning car to jumping through glass to gunfights and hand-to-hand combat…”

      “For me, it was my ideal movie and I wanted to pull from a lot of movies that I loved growing up, like ‘Bourne’ and ‘Mission: Impossible’.”

      And Michael is relishing his new role as a producer, “I want to have a bigger voice and I’m starting to have one now and it’s fun.”

      “Without Remorse” is set for release on the Amazon Prime Video streaming service on April 30.

      The ‘Black Panther’ star plays a highly-effective soldier who takes matter into his own hands after his pregnant wife was killed in an attack by Russian soldiers.

      Mar 4, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Michael B. Jordan goes full action movie hero in the first official trailer of “Without Remorse”. Set in Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan universe, the original movie from Amazon Studios follows the “Creed” star’s John Kelly (a.k.a. John Clark), a highly-effective soldier who goes on a vendetta after his wife was killed in an attack that also targeted him.
      While he survived the assassination attempt, Jordan’s character couldn’t help holding grudge. “They took everything from me,” he says in the trailer. “I’m gonna make it right.” Set by the rage, John seeks to avenge the death of his loved one only to find himself inside a larger conspiracy.
      According to the official synopsis, “Without Remorse” tells the origin story of “John Kelly (a.k.a. John Clark), a U.S. Navy SEAL, who uncovers an international conspiracy while seeking justice for the murder of his pregnant wife by Russian soldiers. When Kelly joins forces with fellow SEAL Karen Greer and shadowy CIA agent Robert Ritter, the mission unwittingly exposes a covert plot that threatens to engulf the U.S. and Russia in an all-out war.”

      The explosive action thriller film is directed by Stefano Sollima (“Sicario: Day of the Soldado”) with the script written by Taylor Sheridan and Will Staples. It is based on the 1993 novel of the same name by Tom Clancy and a spin-off of the “Jack Ryan” film series.
      Brett Gelman, Jodie Turner-Smith, Jamie Bell, Jacob Scipio, Jack Kesy, Todd Lasance, Luke Mitchell and Cam Gigandet join the cast of the movie, which is set to launch globally on April 30 on Amazon Prime Video. Akiva Goldsman, Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Jordan serve as producers.
      John Kelly is Clancy’s second most famous creation, after Jack Ryan. The character previously has been played by Willem Dafoe in 1994’s “Clear and Present Danger” and Liev Schreiber in 2002’s “The Sum of All Fears”.
