Get Behind The Scenes Of THE RAID With The First Production Video Blog

Ever wondered how you take a group of actors and stunt men and teach them to be believable when handling guns and ammo? Curious how you construct intricate fight scenes for the big screen? Well, writer-director Gareth Huw Evans and the talented cast of The Raid did both and they want to show you how.

In the lead up to the March 23rd release of the award winning and hotly buzzed action film a series of six behind the scenes production blogs will be released on a variety of different sites around the web to walk audiences through all phases of production. The videos will release one per week every Friday for the next six weeks and we're proud to have the first of them here on Twitch.

So if you want a look at star Iko Uwais learning to strip down and reassemble a hand gun or the process of working out a fight in pre-production before translating it to set, here's your chance. Take a look at the video below.
