Exclusive Everest Movie InterviewsFri Night Vid

© UKC News

This week we have an exclusive UKC video interview with some of the actors and filmmakers behind the new 3D Everest blockbuster. Based on the events of the 1996 expedition disaster in which 8 people lost their lives in a storm, the film - which stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Josh Brolin, Jason Clarke and Keira Knightley - has been released in UK cinemas today.

Dominic Green speaks to Director Baltasar Kormakur, co-producer David Breashears and actor Jason Clarke - playing protagonist and Everest guide Rob Hall - about their 'humanising' approach to the film. Unlike most Holywood mountaineering films, Kormakur has shunned melodramatic story-telling and instead opted to focus on the authenticity of the events which unfolded on the mountain.

It got 5*s in the DM review today, which is 3 more than 'A Short Walk in the Woods', which is a pity as the book is laugh out loud funny. Anyone seen it yet? 'Everest' that is.

I watched the film last night and thought it to be very good. It did a good job of explaining the difficulties of operating at that altitude and didn't over hype the action. I thought it to be fairly balanced, mixing the various points of view that have emerged from the different books, especially as it only had a film length to do this and tell the story. Recommended, the complete opposite to Vertical Limits

"co-producer David Breashears" I might just check this out now.

I thought it was surprisingly good actually, far less melodramatic and over the top than the trailer suggests.

I agree, as I watched it yesterday, (3-D version highly recommended).
