Anya Taylor-Joy Reflects on Working with Miles Teller for The Gorge
In an interview with Screen Rant, Taylor-Joy shared her experience having a friend as a co-star, telling the site, "We had all the best intentions that we really wanted to be there for each other, and for each other's coverage. And then the first day I showed up, and Miles was in his tower, and they put me on a pulley thing, and I was like, 'This is just not going to [work]; we can't see each other.' But yeah, I think having that relationship was just invaluable because you have a shorthand and you can sort of understand the way the other person moves, and that helps in every way with the weapons, even. By the time the two of us were fighting together, there's just such an awareness of each other that was really fun and really useful, honestly."
Based on the trailer alone, The Gorge already promises to be a thrilling experience, blending action, romance, and a little psychological drama. Don't miss it when it hits Apple TV+ on February 14, 2025!
