Gerard Butler Says ‘Greenland 2: Migration’ Has A Different Feel In Comparison To The Original Film
Greenland 2: Migration is set five years after 2020’s Greenland, and as such, the time between the two films presented Gerard Butler and his fellow creatives the opportunity to present a story different from the original film.
“I think that we really wanted to try and make a different kind of disaster survival thriller in the first movie,” Butler told Space.com in an interview earlier this month. “It wasn’t all about these big special effects.
“It was really taking it from the emotional, personal, intimate point of view of a family and then seeing it through their eyes, watching the fabric of society break down, and seeing how different people reacted to the situation as society falls apart,” Butler added in the Space.com interview. “Which way do they go? Do they decide to help, be a giver, be of service? It felt like it made the experience much more grounded, even if it was messier.”
