Bad luck on the weather


Man, you only have a certain window to shoot a movie and these poor bastards got nothing but rain the whole time. Bummer.

or they are color blind just like nolan and snyder

Real troopers, though; they just rolled with it and kept shooting anyway. Really professional attitude, huh?

Right? Hat's off.

Unless they're rain hats.

Let's hope rain hats were in the budget. I seem to remember the crew of Glenngary Glen Ross complaining about the lack of rain hats under similar circumstances. Mamet had to move most of the shooting into an office building (and a Chinese restaurant, if I'm not mistaken).

That's right about Glengarry Glen Ross. It's actually the reason for one of the most memorable aspects of the film.

The cast were miserable, soaked to the bone constantly, and their feet in particular were always soggy. They began to rush their dialogue, and their being out of sorts lead to a lot of aggression and passion in their speech. This horrified Mamet, normally known for his lamb-like, laid-back lines, but nothing horrified him more than the miffed actors getting so water-logged and frustrated that they began to vent themselves by peppering the tame script with a profusion of profanity. Mamet, meek and timorous as he was, was unable to restrain or control the cast, and so the dialogue became the bombastic, rapid-fire, aggressive cuss-fest that the film became famous for.

Almost unrecognizable as the light, summer comedy it was originally intended to be.

reply

Indeed. It's too bad, too, because the comic camaraderie of dodgy salesmen could have been one of the lightest and funniest comedies of them all...

I wonder if rain is in the schedule for the sequel?
