Behind the Scenes with the Hilarious Central Intelligence Cast

The 2016 action-comedy movie ‘Central Intelligence’ hit theaters with a bang and received incredibly positive feedback from viewers. Starring Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, the film tells the story of an unexpected high-school reunion that ended up with CIA-agent Bob Stone (Johnson) taking his former classmate, account manager Calvin Joyner (Hart), on an adventure-filled mission. The movie was a box office success, grossing over $217 million worldwide. But what went on behind the scenes while filming the movie? Let’s peel back the curtain and explore.

The Director and the Script

Rawson Marshall Thurber was both the writer and director of ‘Central Intelligence.’ Thurber is best known for his work on comedy movies such as ‘Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story’ and ‘We’re the Millers.’ When he was approached with the script for ‘Central Intelligence,’ he loved the concept but thought it was too straightforward. He knew he had to add a unique twist to make it work. Thurber said, “It was a really fun and exciting challenge to try and take testosterone-fueled action movies and infuse them with this heart and buddy-comedy stuff.”

The Scriptwriters also added their unique touch to the movie. The movie’s story evolved significantly from its initial draft, with several characters and plotlines getting cut out entirely. They also added in more humor and increased the action sequences, which further elevated the film’s entertainment value.

The Costumes

The wardrobes of the two leads were significant visual components of the movie. Johnson and Hart’s characters’ clothing reflected their personalities, and the costume designs helped interpret the characters they portrayed. For instance, Johnson’s Bob Stone was always seen in graphic t-shirts, highlighting the character’s fun-loving and quirky personality. Kevin Hart’s character, on the other hand, wore tailored suits, which contrasted Stone’s look and demeanor, highlighting the disparity between their characters.

The Action Sequences

The movie is an action-comedy, so the action sequences needed to be carefully choreographed. Johnson’s physical fitness allowed him to pull off incredible stunts with ease, while Hart’s comedic timing kept the funny moments rolling. The actors and stunt teams worked tirelessly to ensure the action sequences were entertaining and of high quality. Johnson, in particular, wanted to create some of his stunts to show off his athletic abilities.

The Chemistry Between the Cast

One of the movie’s highlights was the excellent chemistry between Johnson and Hart. Their on-screen bond was a result of their off-screen friendship, which began years before the movie was made. The two had a warm relationship that resulted in laughter and fun throughout the movie’s production. Johnson even tweeted, “I loved working with my brother Kevin Hart. Sore jaws from laughing and from clenching my jaw from his bicep curls he calls ‘acting.”

Conclusion

‘Central Intelligence’ is a movie filled with action, humor, and heart. Behind the scenes, a lot of work went into achieving that perfect recipe. From the director to the wardrobe designers, everyone involved in making the movie put in their best effort to bring high-quality entertainment to audiences worldwide. The excellent chemistry between Johnson and Hart created an added element that took the movie to a higher level. If you haven’t watched ‘Central Intelligence,’ it’s a must-see for anyone who loves films with action, humor, and heart.
