Miles Teller Reveals One Of His Favorite Scenes To Shoot With Anya Taylor-Joy In The Gorge, And His Reason Is Kind Of Hilarious

by

If you’re an Apple TV+ subscriber, it’s likely that you’ve watched “The Gorge” starring Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy. This movie holds a significant place as it is Apple TV+’s biggest movie release to date. Given that the platform previously made history by winning Best Picture at the Academy Awards in 2021 with “CODA,” this achievement speaks volumes. Despite being a chilling sci-fi horror film with what’s been dubbed as “skull spiders” on the internet, Miles Teller expressed his romantic side when discussing his favorite scene to shoot – he preferred talking about the first encounter between the film’s star-crossed lovers.

Despite being set in a vast cosmos, “The Gorge” is surprisingly intimate, with its narrative centered around two snipers located on opposite sides of a chasm who can only observe each other through their rifle scopes. Later, Teller’s character Levi embarks on a perilous crossing to Anya Taylor-Joy’s Drasa via zipline, and he described the scene where they finally meet in person as follows:

In a vast cosmos, “The Gorge” is remarkably personal, with its story revolving around two snipers stationed on opposite sides of a deep ravine who can only catch glimpses of each other through their rifle scopes. Eventually, Teller’s Levi decides to make the dangerous trip over to Anya Taylor-Joy‘s Drasa using a zipline, and he reflected on capturing the moment they met face-to-face in this way:

Experiencing that pivotal moment filled with anticipation and suspense while filming their initial encounter was truly enjoyable for me. Can you imagine what it feels like to be on set during such an exciting scene? Perhaps she has a habit of making quite a ruckus while eating, or maybe she’s just messy with her meals.

Indeed, it’s clear that Miles Teller was joking when he mentioned Drasa’s messy eating habit. You see, this was part of a running joke between them, as they had only exchanged written notes prior to this incident. Since they hadn’t spoken aloud before, Miles had no idea what Drasa’s voice actually sounded like. In a humorous twist, Miles also shared that he found it amusing to imagine her sounding like a ‘bro’.

Could you envision a scenario where it would be more like, ‘Hey there!’ He might respond, ‘Gosh, what a pickle. Alright, let’s tackle this issue then.’

In the video at the article’s top, you’ll notice an exceptional rapport between the pair. Without a doubt, there are plenty of enjoyable moments to be had. While opinions on The Gorge vary among critics, it has undeniably captured the hearts of audiences. Our own Nick Venable deemed it “crazy,” while Jason Wiese thinks it could potentially become a TV series. Furthermore, it subtly references their past works like Whiplash and The Queen’s Gambit. Ultimately, what more could you ask for than two of Hollywood’s biggest stars gracing one of the initial major film releases of 2025?

Recently, Miles Teller’s residence was destroyed by the California wildfires, but he found solace in promoting “The Gorge.” I, among others, was relieved to see him safe and in good spirits. Upcoming projects like the Michael Jackson biopic and potential sequels to “Top Gun: Maverick” provide him with much anticipation.
