It seems an idyllic day on set of The Right Kind of Wrong near Pincher Creek.
The wind is unusually calm. The sky is a cloudless blue. Cows are roaming nearby and actress Sara Canning has spent the better part of the morning punching her leading man in the face.
The action may seem a little out of place given the glorious surroundings. But that’s the point. Today’s scene, without giving too much away, involves a wedding, a wedding crasher, a reluctant bride and, finally, that surprise right hook. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.
“It’s funny, throwing punches on film,” says the Edmonton-raised Canning, still sporting a wedding gown while on a lunch break from shooting. “Not that I walk around punching people every day. But there are a lot of specifics (on film). Certain camera angles will sell things differently and at different speeds. It gets very technical.”
So the scene is done over and over, all under the watchful eyes of Alberta stunt co-ordinator Guy Bews and director Jeremiah Chechik. Our leading man, Australian Ryan Kwanten, takes it all with good humour, slipping in and out of a flawless American accent as the cameras start and stop.
Hours later, however, the scene still isn’t finished.
