It was, I mean, we did, I remember, um, they started on, um, Fran, they started on March Gunderson. So, but I was fully in it when they were on her first. And then at one point, um, uh, Francis, you know, you better turn around on him now just because I was so in it. And so then they were on me and, um,
It was enough takes to find the little moments, like that moment, and to just get into the little nuances. But it wasn't like Wes Anderson. Right, right, right.
Yeah.
You know what I think it is? Fargo. I think Fargo was my, like, entree into all of these directors' work. I think that they loved, I mean, when I first met Director Bong, and I was, we were in Prague, we were at Barandov Studios, and he was introducing me to John Hirsch, And I said, well, remember he was in, and then he referred to me as Fargo. He remembered Fargo.
So that kind of was like, oh, okay. You know, so that was my, that was how these directors, I think, found me and wanted to work with me.
Well, I have to, you know, I love working with, you know, director Bong is like, I'm going to, hopefully I'm going to see him next week because Mickey 17, which I worked on. Yeah. I'm going to get to see it next week. And so I hope we'll get to see him. But he is such a sweet down to earth guy. I had the like complete honor of hanging out with him after the big Oscar night.
And we all went to Koreatown and we're at a restaurant and the cast and the producers. And that was an amazing evening. Yeah. And so he's, he's just a sweetheart. And I, I, I love working with him whenever I, you know, twice now. So that's been really great. But I have to say like working with Wes Anderson is another level because he is like an independent filmmaker.
So when I worked like on Mickey 17, I was Warner brothers. So I was dealing with Warner brothers and, Um, I was kind of living in Camden and everybody was kind of spread out.
So I didn't really have a connection with the other cast members so much, unless I, like I had a party once and I invited a bunch of people over, but it was a little bit alienating and which, which helped for this movie, you know, because the alienation was helped because there was a lot of that in terms of the story.
Um, but the way West works is he'll, he'll be in some country and privatize a hotel. And like the whole cast is living there and the crew is living. A lot of the crew we're all living, you know, it's not in the same hotel in the next door hotel. And the studio usually is a, um, golf cart away. Cause West likes to like drive the golf cart to set.
And so every night, like they'll wrap around seven o'clock and then everybody meets for dinner. West at the head of the table and you go down and it's just like, all of these movie stars. And then listening to, um, Wes just, I mean, he talks about film and you just, it's like going to film school. And one of the things he does too, that's so great is he has a table of maybe about 20. Blu-ray DVDs.
of all of these classic movies that had some influence on the movie we're working on. And so, you know, you have a Blu-ray machine in your room. So you pick one, you sign it out. And then when you're not working, you're just watching these great movies.
And then you're going downstairs and you're meeting movie stars and you're talking to Wes about this movie or that, or what was the influence on this scene? So it's like, that's just an amazing.
And it's so great. And you know, like when we were in Potsdam, Germany, uh, for this latest film, the Phoenician scheme, which opens May 30th, I want to say, or 31st. Um, yeah, the Phoenician scheme is going to be amazing. And we'll talk about star studded, you know, cast.
um benicio del toro and michael serra uh mia thorappleton um like that's the other thing like they also like both because when i did the french dispatch that was in angoulême france and they had these uh electric bikes that you could borrow so you know we would go on these like you know, bike trips together. So, I mean, it was my, my wife had come.
And so it's like hope, hope Davis and Michael Sarah, and we're just riding around Potsdam, you know, going to a beer, you know, it's so much fun. It's like camp and everybody is so cool. And it's like, there's no, there's no hierarchies. It's just, everybody is the same and it's just beautiful. And, and Wes is so meticulous about everything. Like when we went to, um, um,
can for the french dispatch i remember they're setting up the dining room for after the screening and um wes is in there with one of the employees and he's putting the names on all the tables he's deciding where everybody's sitting he knows everything he knows where everybody like what room everybody's in like his mind is incredible and what he what he remembers and um and what he's paying attention to so
you know, he talks about how, you know, like when he goes to sleep, he's, he's constantly centering things, you know, cause he's doing that all the time in the frame. He's like his brain. Yeah. So his dreams are like a Wes Anderson. Right.
Well, it's out now, kind of. I mean, it's, I guess it's going to be released on March 7th. But it's based on Mickey 7. He, you know, Bong Joon-ho has expanded, obviously. And yeah, that also was just a lot of fun. His imagination is just, it's just incredible. And he's so, it's so fluid, like as a director, he's like, I mean, this is something that,
director bong and west have in common is their their their storyboarding is is like the movie's already been made and and the filmmaking is really the constructing of it but if you look at his storyboards it's like every little frame you know exactly what's going to happen so with with director bong sometimes he's storyboarding the night before but you have a sense like he he
