Alan Ritchson and Patrick Hughes, the stars and director of the sci-fi action film 'War Machine', recently opened up about the jaw-dropping pool scene in the movie. Ritchson, who plays the character 81, walked the full length of a pool underwater while carrying weights, holding his breath for a full two minutes. This was a challenging stunt, as Ritchson admitted he can't even hold his breath for 10 seconds. Hughes, the director, was surprised by Ritchson's dedication, as he knew the actor was pretending, but the result was stunning. The scene is a testament to Ritchson's physicality and dedication to the craft. The emotional core of the film, according to Ritchson, comes from Hughes, who crafted the brotherly love between the characters. The movie sets up a sequel, with the potential for a franchise, as the story ends with the introduction of tens of thousands of machines from another planet. Ritchson and Hughes expressed their enthusiasm for a continuation, with Ritchson suggesting a crossover with the character Jack Reacher, played by himself in the Prime Video series 'Reacher'. The film's success and the actors' dedication to their roles have left a lasting impression on audiences, leaving them eager for more.
