That was pretty epic.īrown: We've got a few free helicopter rides on the show. MacPherson: We shot a gun fight on a rooftop and ended up escaping in a helicopter. That was probably the best way to see KL, bird's eye view. What have you filmed so far? Anything interesting?īrown: We got to fly around the Petronas tower and land on a sky bar in a helicopter. We had some from Bangkok, Singapore and obviously a lot from Malaysia as well, every single one had been wonderful, turning up so excited to be part of the show, that makes our job easier and it's great. MacPherson: We also got the opportunity to work with a bunch of local actors as well. Even night shift when we were working till 4 o'clock in the morning for a full week that first week in KL. There's a lot of laughs on set, all day every day.

The duo reprise their roles as Samuel Wyatt and Thomas McAllister, respectively. Last July, Cinema Online had the chance to visit one of the filming locations in Malaysia, namely in its Southern state of Johor, and not only got to somewhat have a sense of what the cast and crew experienced while filming in the jungles (well, technically palm plantation) there every day, but also got to have a little chat with the stars Daniel MacPherson ("A Wrinkle in Time") and Warren Brown ("The Dark Knight Rises") while on set.

I was frankly shocked by the graphic nature - not of the battle scenes which ought to be graphic, but the raw language, emotion, sexual scenes, etc. I suggest you watch the entire season before you decide what you think of this show. Six does a great job of capturing what they do on and off the field of engagement. What they do for a living can magnify these real life issues. And they are real people with real life issues.
