Zachary Levi

Lots of wave machines, wind machines, rain machines, water cannons, all kinds of stuff.

But but but just just quickly, you know, this was when I read the script, because this happens pretty much in the beginning of the movie, this the anchor getting caught and what leads to, you know, ultimately the demise of three of these gentlemen.

Marquis, a week prior, had been on a fishing trip and he got his anchor caught in the same place and he had to cut the anchor and it was a five hundred dollar anchor.

And he didn't want to cut another anchor.

And so that's what ultimately led to this.

And it's in fear.

As I'm reading the script, I'm so angry.

I'm angry for all of them.

I'm angry for their families.

I'm angry that this simple little thing could have been the difference between them actually getting home and being alive today, right?

And it's one of the things that making the movie, and even afterwards, as I've kind of contemplated it,

You know, I want audiences to, you know, be moved by this movie, obviously, and I think that they will be.

And I think that you can take hope away from this to hold on to hope.

If nothing else, like, hold on to that last shred of hope and believe that there are people out there that are praying and hoping for you as their families were.

But also, kind of philosophically, one of the things that I hope audiences take from this, and certainly what I take from this, is...

cut the anchor, like whatever is in your life, whatever, whatever petty little thing or large thing or whatever it is that is pulling you down, that is weighing you down, that is drowning you.

And we all have them.

We all have them.

And we got to cut these anchors.

We, we, we cannot, you know, lose the, miss the forest for the trees.
