Having two action experts in starring roles helped stunt coordinator Timothy Eulich make mayhem in EverythingEverywhere which features Michelle Yeoh and Ke Huy Quan jumping through a manic multiverse.
jumping through a manic multiverse created by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, the directing duo known as the Daniels.
Eulich, who has collaborated with the Daniels for 11 years, including on 2016’s “Swiss Army Man,” is familiar with their M.O. He spent several weeks working with them to visualize the scenes. “They know what they want and what they like,” he says. “We would build some of the fights off of the two [directors] performing the action sequences, and then we would fill it [with stunt extras].”
Eulich was particularly excited to sink his teeth into the fanny pack scene, which features Quan wielding the utilitarian fashion accessory to fend off a squad of IRS security guards. The actor shared his enthusiasm. “He was obsessed because he was with us every single day and he didn’t want to leave the rehearsal hall,” Eulich says.
