Awful

This job is pretty disorganised - asking us to move and change things around every day. On a normal job, once the schedule is printed, very little changes. A movie is a like a large rolling stone - it takes a lot to start and once it starts, it's impossible to make swift about-faces. Somehow, no one told this production team.
The director (first timer) is 30 years old. I can't imagine giving $5 million bucks to someone who's never done it before and is so young. This is the cinematographer's first feature (usually does music videos/commercials). The production team has never done anything over $1 million.

It's pretty much a recipe for disaster.

The good thing about all this is if I fail, there are a hundred excuses!

Gossip says that when Sir Ben found out Famke was cast for the role of his wife, he insisted on a love scene. Not sure if it's true but that tidbit makes me laugh.
