Everest Movie Review - Behind the Scenes Movie Interview HD

via IFTTT 'Everest' expert Nick Heil says movie is no documentary, but still pretty accurate The new movie “Everest” is based on the deadly 1996 Everest climb, but is it accurate? Outside Magazine’s contributing editor Nick Heil, the author of “Dark Summit: The True Story of Everest’s Most Controversial Season,” weighed in on the film and his conversations with its stars. So, this took place in 1996 and there were eight people who died on this day. They were caught in a very sudden, very intense storm and stranded high on the mountain. The story is largely about the efforts to get down from this mountain and who made it and who didn’t. This is really a classic climbing story. It goes back to the early days of commercial climbing on Mt. Everest. It’s an extraordinary cast of characters from professional mountain guides to amateurs paying thousands of dollars to get up to the summit for their bucket list. So, you have this incredible mix of ingredients from incredible characters to one of the most exotic and dramatic settings on Earth with circumstances you really couldn’t make up. So, all of the ingredients to have an incredible story. It was incredibly technically challenging to pull off this movie and they were committed to making it as authentic and true to life as they could, so they were filming on location in Nepal. They shot high in the Italian Dolomites. For the actors especially they’re not used to shooting in these kinds of extreme environments and it really became quite an adventure for them. I think they were surprised by just how intense this could all be. They got a real taste of what it’s like to be in the mountains, and I think they had a real sense of adventure. They came away from it kind of bonded, excited and enthused, and they got a sense of what is to be up on Everest. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgGrvOzcrEC4NNuXOqCA6DQ Follow us on Twitter https://goo.gl/X2MiGk Follow us on Pinteres http://ift.tt/1J7MgN1 Web site: http://ift.tt/1IoCoJ9 If You Like This Video Subscribe!
