"I love that part of filming in nature is that you can only control so much. The fight with nature also starts to make it more interesting, rather than fully controlling everything. I tend to use nature first before we go on to any set. Because then the actor comes informed about what the real challenges are and they can replicate that."
"In Apex, Theron plays Sasha, a rock climber dealing with the horrifying loss of her partner. She travels to Australia to explore via kayak, but soon finds herself in a deadly game and cat and mouse with a local who wants to hunt and kill her."
"The ruggedness of the Australian landscape plays a crucial role in the film's authenticity and emotional depth, pushing the actors to their limits."
