Never Give Up is a sports drama that hit wide screens in 2008. This film introduces viewers to the pugnacious martial arts boy Jake Tyler who wants to prove his worth in a new company. "Never Give Up" grossed a good box office, and in 2011 a sequel to the film was released.
Instructions
Step 1
The sports drama Never Give Up was directed by Jeff Wadlow, who is known to the Russian audience for his work on the comedy Kick-Ass 2. Screenwriter Chris Hoti wrote the plot of the film after his son showed him videos of various school fights. Several studios received the rights to produce the film: Summit Entertainment, Mandalay Pictures and B. M. P. Films.
Step 2
Sean Faris starred the cocky Jake Tyler. For filming in this sports drama, the handsome man had to increase almost seven kilograms of muscle mass. By the way, for such efforts, the young American actor and model received the MTV Movie Award in 2008.
Step 3
Tyler's lady, Bahu Miller, was played by the charming Amber Heard, who is familiar to Russian fans for her roles in the films Welcome to Zombieland and The Chamber. Other cast members on Never Back Down include Djimon Hounsou, Cam Gigandet, Evan Peters and Leslie Hope. For the filming of the sports scenes of the film, real athletes were selected, training in various clubs and gyms in Florida.
Step 4
Filming of "Never Give Up" took place in the cities of Clermont, Sanford and Orlando, located in the southern American state of Florida. According to the plot of the film, the family of the protagonist moves to Florida from Iowa. All school scenes (since the main character is still in high school) were filmed at Cypress Creek High School. The first football game Tyler got into a fight was filmed at the stadium of East Ridge High School. By the way, it is worth noting that the film was originally called Get Some. However, due to the sexual connotation of this name, it was replaced by Never Back Down.
Step 5
The world premiere of the film "Never Give Up" took place on March 14, 2008, but the drama arrived on Russian screens only a month later. The sequel to Never Give Up 2 was released in 2011.
