To me, it was a movie that honors people who should be honored who don’t in anyway shape or form exploit themselves but I think it’s important in order to educate people and be aware and conscious that don’t forget that these people are doing this every day – (especially now with California wildfires and Puerto Rico). There was natural resistance I don’t know if I want to see this, is it too soon, if we had waited two, three, four years would it be too late? There’s never the right time. Am I faking it? Who am I? I’m trying to do research and piece together this story and feeling like an asshole through most of this process. It’s why being an actor is so wrong on every level. There was one point where I wanted to get out of the movie and I was emotionally affected by it and I was like, “I don’t know if I want to do this.” I feel like I’m a fraud. JB: It was harsh, at first, which I expected. JBD: There are things about him that made me nervous because I didn’t know if I had that within myself and it was something as simple as the fact that this man had bravery and strength to walk up to people and give them a hug and say, “I love you, man.” That scared me more than anything. Miles Teller, who plays Brendan McDonough – the only surviving Granite Mountain Hotshot from the Yarnell Hill Fire.ģ03: Was there any hesitation or resistance when taking the role? I thought for wildfires, a plane flew overhead and dropped water down. Miles Teller: I never lived in a state or a county where we had wildfires and I hadn’t really seen one on the news. I was struck by that story something seemed deeply important and it deserved to be told. The week of the Yarnell Hill Fire, I was riding the subway downtown and the New York Times has a two-page article on these guys. I had a completely different relationship to wildlife firefighters in that it doesn’t exist. James Badge Dale: I lived in New York City I’m a New York City kid. I wanted to make sure that Joe Kosinski was in the right place.

I was very aware of it and it didn’t make me want to do the movie more - it made me more skeptical. I know a lot of people who knew Eric outside of family and friends that I met because of the movie. My best friend knew Eric Marsh he went to the funeral. Josh Brolin: I was a volunteer firefighter for the past 30 years so I knew about because I follow that stuff and I lived within the firefighting community. The cast along with Brendan McDonough and guests.ģ03 Magazine: Did you have any prior knowledge to the Yarnell Hill Fire or the Granite Mountain Hotshots and did it help in your decision with taking this role?
