As anticipation builds for the release of *Fall 2: Deadpoint*, the film’s cast has opened up about the experience of shooting in extreme conditions. The sequel to the 2022 psychological thriller *Fall* sees a new ensemble of characters trapped during a treacherous climb on Thailand’s Mount Kwan, a narrative steeped in tension and suspense. The film is set to hit UK cinemas on September 2.

In a recent interview, Harriet Slater, Arsema Thomas, and Tom Brittney reflected on their preparation for the film, which involved filming on a set positioned a daunting 50 feet above ground. Despite limited preparation time, the actors immersed themselves in a week-long training course designed to equip them for their aerial escapades.
Tom Brittney, in particular, recounted how he faced his fear of heights on set. “I remember the first day on set after our training course. I thought, ‘Okay, this is manageable,’” he explained. However, his confidence quickly waned upon seeing the full extent of the set, where a cherry picker was used to lift the cast into the air. “That’s when I thought, ‘Okay, that’s a bit terrifying,’” he added, noting that the experience of being elevated without a harness heightened his anxiety.
Brittney candidly shared that confronting heights, which he describes as his “biggest fear on earth,” was exacerbated by the nature of the filming environment. “The cherry picker was scarier because you weren’t harnessed in. That was the scariest part for me,” he admitted. Nonetheless, the supportive atmosphere fostered by his co-stars provided him with the encouragement he needed to move past his trepidation. “Seeing them do it was very inspiring; it motivated me to think, ‘Oh, I can do this,’” he remarked.
Contrastingly, Arsema Thomas expressed a different sentiment regarding the heights. “I really enjoyed the adventure of filming,” she stated. For Thomas, the thrill of uncertainty added to the excitement of her role. “It’s what makes you feel alive. Not knowing what was going to happen next keeps you engaged,” she elaborated.
Slater, ever the joker, shared her own experiences of filming at such heights. While she felt safety concerns were paramount, she playfully noted that at times, they felt “too safe.” “We were harnessed in tightly, and there was a team monitoring us, so we would often ask them for a little more slack,” she quipped, acknowledging the degree of oversight they had while suspended in the air.
Despite the disparity in their feelings about heights, Brittney’s experience turned into a personal triumph. For him, *Fall 2: Deadpoint* became more than just a film; it became a proving ground for conquering fears. “I think the biggest takeaway for me was realising that I could push through my fears,” he stated.
For Thomas, the filming experience also carried a deeper philosophical note. She described the liberating sensation of facing fears head-on. “It’s easy to let fears and uncertainties keep you from living your life fully. Sometimes, embracing those fears can be wonderfully freeing,” she reflected. She believes that such moments of self-actualisation represent a significant gift anyone can give themselves.
As the cast gears up for the film’s release, they are eager to share their journey on screen, combining exhilarating performances with the lessons learned from shooting in intimidating conditions. With its gripping plot set against the backdrop of perilous mountain climbing, *Fall 2: Deadpoint* promises to be a thrilling cinematic experience.
Moviegoers can catch the film in theatres from September 2, and the cast’s reflections only heighten the anticipation surrounding its release. With themes of fear, resilience, and the thrill of adventure, this sequel is set to deliver an adrenaline-pumping experience for audiences.
