Marina Foïs was injured during filming… but not as we would have imagined!
Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise…many are actors and actresses who have already been injured during filming of an action film or series. This is the case of Marina Foïs, but clearly not in the way we envisioned.
Months of physical training to perform Furies stunts
In the series Furies, broadcast on Netflix, Marina Foïs plays a hitwoman responsible for maintaining order in the Parisian underworld. To play this demanding role, she had to undergo intensive training. The actress and her colleagues spent several months physically training for long hours every day. At Télé 7 Jours, Marina Foïs says:
Honestly, it was hard work and we continued to train during filming. For me it was lighter than Lina El Arabi who had the main role and was in all the shots. But we had a period of two or three months where we had four hours of physical training for stunts plus an hour of weight training or yoga. It was very interesting because the body is at the center of the actor's work.
14 stitches for the actress
But as is often the case with action series or films, the filming of Furies was not without its share of incidents. Marina Foïs injured her hand, requiring 14 stitches and surgery. However, contrary to what one might think at first glance, this injury was not caused by the stunts or intense action scenes the actress had to perform for the role. No, the accident happened in much more ordinary circumstances: while she was dining at a restaurant.
I injured myself (…) while eating at a restaurant! (Laughs) I sent photos to all my friends, who were disgusted because I half severed my tendon! I had fourteen stitches and surgery, which limited my stunts and training for a while.
This injury could have put a premature end to his participation in the filming of the series, but thanks to the determination of the production team and the work of the stunt coordinator, it was able to continue filming without major interruption.
