for one-man army Mike Banning
WHAT’S GERRY GOT TO SAY?
“It’s not just about lots
of gunfire. There are bombs as
well. No, this is a new side to
the franchise. It’s much more
personal and intimate. It’s about
betrayal by your friends, your
body, and your country. Ric
[Roman Waugh], our director, is
loath to use CGI, so if there’s
a truck crashing, he wants
me in the shot. I have mixed
feelings about that! But the
footage looks amazing.”ANY GOSSIP?Mike Banning is
vaping, which has set Butler off
too. “I haven’t smoked for five
years. I started vaping and now
it’s fucking incessant. Please
don’t mention that. My mum
might read it.” Sorry, Gerry.
