Though, it should very much come with the classic movie disclaimer: don't try this at home.Īdding a sense of realism, at least in Williams's mind, was the fact she's experienced her own dose of aerial terror. And in this case, that's not exactly the opportunity they get."Īs Dreymon, 37, says, putting two people in such extremes is the ultimate way to explore their depth of feeling for each other. In an ideal world, they'd sit in a restaurant and try to figure out how their dynamic works best, with no extenuating circumstances whatsoever. The idea of two people who have a thing together, but haven't been able to make it work. "That was really appealing to me as well. " We're taking a very familiar dynamic and making it exponentially more stressful," says Williams. It's why Horizon Line, as extreme as it is, feels spot on.

"It's difficult for him to see her again. ![]() "I mean, there's no doubt that for Jackson, Sara is the one and his heart got broken so violently when she left," says Dreymon.

And the cinematographer was Flavio Martinez Labiano, who shot the equally tense The Shallows, in which Blake Lively was stranded in water as a shark circles.Īllison Williams stars in 'Horizon Line'. It was scripted by Matthew Stuecken and Josh Campbell, who co-wrote 10 Cloverfield Lane – the follow-up to alien-monster movie Cloverfield. The film also comes equipped with behind-the-scenes talent with experience in claustrophobic thrillers. "What would we do? How would we all react?" "I've always been curious: what would happen in a situation like that with someone who is one of us?" says Williams. Yet, crucially, Gordon-Levitt's character was trained to fly. And I think there's a little part of us, as human animals, that misses that."ĭirected by Mikael Marcimain, who made the 2012 thriller Call Girl, Horizon Line comes hot on the heels of 7500, a Patrick Vollrath film that starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a jumbo jet pilot trapped in his cockpit as terrorists take over the cabin. Things just aren't putting us in that degree of danger usually. " W e live in a time when we're so comfortable. ![]() "I think people love to be put in extreme situations," says Dreymon.
