On set: director Duncan Jones, and actors Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Paula Patton and Travis Fimmel.
Director:OK, Iâm pumped! Finally out on location shooting after all that time stuck in pre-production! OK, Scene 26. Ben? This is a crucial scene for you, as your character Medivh is succumbing to the influence of the evil Titan Sargeras, who wants to destroy all the livinâ¦
Ben Foster: Is this necessary? Just start shooting already.
Director: But I feel itâs important we establish your motivâ¦
Dominic Cooper: This movie is going to take forever at this rate. Why are we only doing one scene at a time? Weâre all experienced actors, we could handle four or five scenes at once easy.
Travis Fimmel: Go. Go. Go. Go. Go. Just roll the cameras and weâll be fine.
Director: Er⦠Huh? OK⦠I guess we just go with this⦠Sound ready? Roll cameras. Dom? Walk to that mark and say your line.
Dominic Cooper: Whatâs my line?
Director: Er⦠Someone remind Dom what his line is?
Cast: Silenceâ¦
Director: Does anyone know what their lines are?
Cast: More silenceâ¦
Director: For the love of all that is holy! You were sent the script a month ago! The least you could have done is read it before you showed up!
Travis Fimmel: I never read the script. I find I understand the film better if I just follow what the other actors are doing for a while.
Director: This is totally unprofessional, all of you.
Paula Patton: Donât tell me I donât know what Iâm doing! I have an Academy award!
Director: No you donât.
Paula Patton: â¦itâs on my other account.
Dominic Cooper: Wait a minute⦠Paula is a girl? For real? Where are you from?
Director: Oh God⦠I give up.
Any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental.
