Adam Scott Severance Season 2

by Professional Portal ☀️: Adam Scott

Adam Scott leaned into the inevitable Tom Cruise comparisons for the intense opening of Severance Season 2. He admitted that running extensively in a suit makes avoiding the comparison impossible because Cruise is simply the king of that lane. To prepare, Scott studied Cruise’s iconic scenes, noting that anyone training for running should just watch him. Scott calls Cruise the best runner in the world and broke down the specific mechanics required to match that energy. You have to get the knees up and master the 'blade hands' technique. The final sequence was far more demanding than it appears on screen. It was filmed in 10 different parts across a span of 5 months. The production utilized a robot arm, green screen, and a treadmill to capture the various shots needed for the scene.
