Jake Gyllenhaal is opening up about a crazy stunt in the new Michael Bay film “Ambulance,” in which he plays a career criminal driving a stolen ambulance full of hostages while being chased by police along the bank of the Los Angeles River.
While the stunt is the movie’s showstopper, Bay — who’s demonstrated his action-movie cred in such films as “Transformers”, “Bad Boys” didn’t have that scene in the original script, and cooked it up on the spot.
Michael Bay’s new movie Ambulance, which finds Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II caught in a heist gone wrong,arrives to American theaters later in April.
But that hasn’t stopped the action director from courting a bit of controversy: During the movie’s European press tour, Bay seemed to have a few criticisms about Ambulance’s CG effects, and how they weren’t up to snuff.
