And every actor you just mentioned is completely different.
The movie with Harrison had Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton in it, all very different actors.
So were Reese and Ashton different?
I just was remembering that like Reese has a different... I would go to Reese and I would say... I would say something about the character and she would say, am I saying that or am I thinking that?
And I would say, you're thinking that.
And she was like, okay, cool.
You know, like she was...
And she also likes to do a scene in the moment right as you're about to do it and then talk to me.
And so that was interesting because it makes it more alive for her.
Like she's extremely prepared and then you come and you do it and then we would look at each other and be like, oh, we'll go this way.
In fact, when we were making this movie, we shot some of it in New York.
And I remember we went out on the pier and Reese did the scene and then she turned to me and she goes, I don't think that works.
And I was like, I know, I don't think that works either.
And I took a piece of paper and I put it on my knee and I wrote a new scene and I handed it to her and we looked at it and then we did that.
And then with Rachel, you know, Rachel was so is so flexible that you can sort of say to her, like, do this line and hold your arm out at this angle.
And she's like, I got it doing it.
And I mean, I could go on and on about how brilliant they are, how brilliant all of these folks are.
I mean, I Emily and I, I love to run a joke into Emily Blunt.
That's my favorite thing to do is she'll do a tick because because.
When you're on set and the actors have done a joke a couple times and you feel like you have it, then it's really fun.
