The Adam Project Video Breaks Down Fight Scene With Director & Cast
The Adam Projectdirector Shawn Levy and stars Walker Scobell and Zoe Saldaña break down the movie's first major fight scene. Released on Netflix last weekend, The Adam Project is the streamer's newest original hit. It scored the third-biggest opening for Netflix and remains a fixture on its daily top 10 list a week later. The Adam Project stars Ryan Reynolds as the titular Adam, a time traveler from 2050 who accidentally crash lands into 2022 while trying to fix his future. In doing so, he runs into his 12-year-old self (Scobell) and recruits him to help save the day. Mark Ruffalo and Jennifer Garner also star.
The Adam Project combines sci-fi spectacle with emotional family drama. Though the latter element seems like it might not lend itself to epic action, the movie has the former part in spades. For example, a key scene relatively early on in The Adam Project finds the older Adam pulling out his futuristic weapons to fight off the henchmen of villain Maya Sorian (Catherine Keener). It's a fast-paced scene that finds time for quick character beats and the epic arrival of Saldaña's Laura.
