Idris Elba continued, “But definitely, we had our toys, our favorite toys in our sandbox, and being able to do that. The prison sequence, again, we don’t usually do fight sequences in ‘Luther,’ but we wanted to do one that was memorable and one that felt within the sort of brand language, if you like. You know, sort of messy and not really fight sequencey, but just visceral.” These two scenes are definitely sprawling moments in “Luther: The Fallen Sun,” with the prison fight scene acting as somewhat of a cover for his escape. As Luther makes his way out of the prison, he is attacked by inmates, and he engages in brutal combat in order to escape his confinement and stop David Robey.
Likewise, the Piccadilly Circus scene involves Luther finally catching up to Robey, but Robey has set some of his manipulated victims in place to leap to their deaths at a specific time, causing the famous location to spiral into chaos, death, and viral panic as innocent onlookers become wracked with fear. With Elba’s words in mind, it is perfectly clear why he mentioned these two scenes, which must have required a tremendous amount of prep work and permits — at least when it comes to filming in a place like Piccadilly Circus. Luckily, it is always nice when a fan is in a position of power and able to make something like this happen without the use of green screens and CGI.
