Sam Heughan on SAS: Red Notice and Feeling Like John Mc Clane

With director Magnus Martens SAS: Red Notice now available On Demand, I recently got to speak with Sam Heughan about making the action thriller. Based on the bestselling novel by former SAS operator Andy McNab, the film is about a special forces operator (Heughan) traveling with his girlfriend (Hannah JohnKamen) on the Eurostar from London to Paris and what happens when a team of heavily armed war criminals led by Ruby Rose seize the train. SAS: Red Notice also stars Andy Serkis, Tom Hopper, Tom Wilkinson, Owain Yeoman, and Ray Panthaki. During the interview, Heughan talked about how you can watch the film as a fun popcorn movie but the script also deals with what is probably happening with governments around the world, if he felt like he was John McClane from Die Hard when filming the tunnel action sequences, what happens when the director tells him we need to get this in one take, and more. In addition, we also talk about his love of James Camerons Aliens and David Finchers Alien 3.
