SCREENPLAYERS STRIKE AND FILMING

Some actors such as Scarlett Johansson, Adrien Brody, Bryan Cranston and Rupert Friend took the opportunity to share their point of view about the writers’ strike in Hollywood which started a few weeks ago already. “Whatever happens, the way income is determined will change forever,” Scarlett Johansson told Variety, for example. “This is something that was long overdue, that we’ve been talking about for a long time, and has finally reached breaking point. It’s important that all creators come together and support this massive shift so that we can move on to the other side, which we will,” she added.

For their part, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson wanted to highlight the quality of life they lived during the filming with Wes Anderson. “There are two aspects to making a film with Wes. First there is the environment he creates, in which everyone finds themselves, including dinner every evening at 8 p.m. ”, revealed the actor at the microphone of “ET”. “We live in the same hotel. If you have to work, you go to bed early, otherwise you stay up singing songs around the campfire. “, he added before his wife went further: “It’s true. Weekends were impromptu singing sessions. Everyone was performing. The casting was very musical. There was Seu Jorge, Richard Hawley, Jarvis Cocker… It was a really great band and also Jenny, our script supervisor, who was an amazing singer. »
