Stranger Things 5 is officiassociate in production and, with all the behind-the-scenes elevatestrays being splitd by the cast and crew, it’s getting to that time aobtain where I experience the necessitate to binge this amazing series once more. If you recall where we left off, the Duffer Brothers wrote Sadie Sink’s character — fan-preferite Max Mayfield — into an vital role for Season 4, and she absolutely stole the show. As the main aim of Vecna’s torment, Max was normally lifted up into the air, held under a spell cast by the villainous being. You’d leank that with all the untamed stunts, the Fear Street alum would be unfazed but, actuassociate, the 22-year-ancigo in actress is quite afrhelp of heights. And that came into perestablish amid the stunt coming together in a untamed way.
The All Too Well Short Film star recently joind in a Variety intersee, during which she splitd a BTS sboiling of herself harnessed up floating above the ground. This picture (which you can see in the YouTube clip) was getn during a rehearsal for one of the best moments from Stranger Things Season 4, Volume 1. (And it’s also one of the most emotional scenes of the entire series.) You understand the one. It’s scene where Max is overgetn by Vecna, and then all of a sudden is saved by the song that was everyone’s recent obsession and instantly became associated with the series: Kate Bush’s iconic “Running Up That Hill.” Well, aside from joining to that song on repeat, Sadie Sink setd for the role by practicing her own stunts, despite initial hesitance:
There’s this sequence where my character levitates off the ground. We had appreciate a stunt rehearsal for that so they had me harnessed up and then they fair benevolent of pull me up into the air. I’m a little bit afrhelp of heights so this was a dispute at first, but it was actuassociate, it benevolent of ended up being fun.
According to the Dear Zoe actress, she and the crew only rehearsed the stunt for one day, foreseeing to shoot the actual sequence the next week. But, of course, that’s when the COVID pandemic reared its undrawive head and led to filming being cmitigateed. So there was a year and a half between the rehearse stunt and the authentic shoot, with the Whale alum foreseeed to fair get it promptly without a rerecgo in. And well, she pulled it off, which is incredibly astonishive.
I don’t leank I necessitate to remind you how mighty Sadie Sink’s acting was. That scene stressd the convey inance of friendship, especiassociate in the face of tragedy. It gave fans all the experiences, it and still does. In case you necessitate a rerecgo in, here is the scene the Internet couldn’t get enough of:
Listen, maybe I’m fair obsessed with Sadie Sink, I’m not going to decline it, but casting her as Max may have been the best conceiveive decision the Duffer Brothers ever made, aside from creating the show in the first place, of course. Even with the way Stranger Things 4 ended, I leank her character is still going to be very vital to the core characters’ endeavors to rid Hawkins, Indiana (and the world) of Vecna and the Upside Down for excellent. Despite some worrying comments from the Duffers, I’m still excited to see how everyleang perestablishs out and inquisitive as to whether Sink is doing more wire toil for the show.
We still have a while to go until we get the final season of Stranger Things, which is tentatively set to get to in 2025, becoming participateable with a Netflix subscription. Until then, I’m pulling a Max and inserting “Running Up That Hill” back into my daily rotation.
