And then we kind of started justifying the cabin. The cabin, sure. And then we were like, but there's pictures that predate our timeline when they bought the cabin. And I was like, well, Jack got it all out during the fire. When he got the dog, he got the pictures out.
Faintly. Yes, like there was like- But did it for Milo?
Oh yes, absolutely. Yes, in the ambulance.
This is our next guest. You're absolutely right. Because that was what I was most freaked out about was seeing the parts that would say he survives the fire.
Did we shoot that ambulance inside the ambulance in two different locations now? Like maybe it was something like the stuff we could shoot from the inside. I feel like you're right.
And then you've got like 10 minutes of everybody in the other future storyline saying, my father died on Super Bowl Sunday 20 years ago. So you know you're so close.
I have a memory. I have one picture of it somewhere, but I have a memory of that. We shot out at this ranch and they literally... Our show was not like a high budget in terms of production value show. On occasion, we would do something big at the Hollywood Bowl or go to Vietnam. But for the most part, it was beautifully shot scenes inside rooms.
But they built the structure of the house out on this ranch and out in...
Yeah, I forget the name of the ranch, but they basically built the house to burn it down.
It was a balcony. There was things and it was like, so they built it and then basically burned it fake. And then I just remember, I remember stepping through it with Milo
and then oh this is going to be awesome because the guys and milo are taking it so seriously that it's going to be very real i remember being really struck by hannah this little girl who we'd plucked out of nowhere with barely an audition process who was now like an 18 year old who could emote like that and i didn't know that she had that in her and i was that made it so visceral and real and then i just remember mandy it was freezing i remember we had a little heated tent and mandy was just sitting and reading a joan didion as a
as her family home burned. She was just reading Joan Didion by herself. And I took a picture of it. I was like, Mandy is just like, she's alternately like screaming, weeping, her house is burning down. And then she's just reading Joan Didion off on the side in a heated tent. And I remember it was like four in the morning.
Yeah, we were... Jake was with me for all of this. I just, I came over to set. Maybe I just told the, I'd been watching Mandy like cry for two or three weeks because of just all the scenes. And she, and I went to say goodbye. It was like two in the morning and she was sitting in a little guest room of the house waiting for her next scene.
And she was still just like heaving from the sobs of what you, as they were moving the cameras. And I went, Mandy, I'll see you tomorrow. She's like, okay, man. And I'm walking down the street and Jake's walking out and being like, we gotta do like send flowers or do something for Mandy. Like the poor girl has just been crying for three weeks.
And we just walked in silence down this suburban street and Jake goes, what if we sent her a clown? And I was like, what? And he goes like a clown to her trailer. And I was like, Jake, I'll see you tomorrow. We're not sending Mandy Moore a clown.
I'd deliver some balloons. Pennywise comes to me. And we just, every time, like, thanks for all your hard work, Mandy. Every day, I would look at the call sheet, like, what's today's shooting? And they're like, oh, Mandy eats the candy bar and sees Jack dead. I'm like, okay. And then I'd be like, what's the next day? She's like, she tells her children they've lost their father.
I was like, what's the next day? Like, she tells Miguel that his best friend is dead. And it was like, every day was like this relentless siege of emotion on her.
I think that was Mandy's take too I think just all that was on the script was kind of like he tells her this news and she kind of has a like what the fuck are you talking about reaction and goes into the room to prove that that's not the case and what Mandy added was like the take if I remember correctly which is like there's something really wrong about this person.
So it like getting this so wrong that they're telling the wrong person. And she kind of says at one point, I think like, can somebody tell this person to get away from me? And you call him this person? And it was like, and that was not, I don't think that was scripted. I think that was all Mandy just on the way to the door, filling that space of like, oh, that's her take on what this is.
It's a doctor giving somebody the wrong information. It makes the switch so cool.
