Taika is constantly playing music in between takes. I can say this is one of the most fun sets that I’ve ever been on. I mean it’s like the movie is funny and entertaining but I think the extras are going to be as equally, entertaining and I can’t wait to see them. I can’t wait to see the extras on this movie. I think that really kind of afforded everybody a wonderful freedom to fully explore all the options.
