So basically I\u2019m shooting the movie twice, you know, which is a pain in the ass, basically.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cBut it\u2019s part of making the movie. And so these movies in particular are a very delicate kind of technical process\u2026 the craft of making these movies, they\u2019re not like normal movies. And it was, at times, certainly frustrating, but a lot of fun. I had a blast.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-handler__container image-handler__container--full\" style=\"padding-bottom: calc(100% * (674 \/ 1012));\"> <picture> <source media=\"(max-width: 320px)\"
