About recently caught up with Thomas Haden Church and the actor seems to know the upcoming third installment like the back of his hand. Having seen the entire film through animatics, Church is a bundle of information.
"It’s very choreographed because, not unlike an animated film, everything is animatically strategized. They have the whole movie. I’ve seen the whole movie – I saw it last summer in animatics. I’ve seen everything and what Sam does is, and it’s what I’ve been doing since I started shooting in November, is you just get as close to what is animatically configured. You just get as close to that as you can in a live-action setting or stage."
"I shot a scene in January that was a very emotional scene in the movie for my character. And I didn’t understand… We shot all the other coverage all day long, and I was actually starting to get kind of frustrated. I could feel it. I was starting to get a little irritable. And as they day progressed we broke for lunch and we hadn’t gotten any coverage on my side. I was like, ‘Well this is bulls**t man. I’m like working my a** off over here and Sam doesn’t seem to be in too big of a hurry.’"
