Jai Courtney Describes On-Set Camaraderie, Psychotic Direction from David Ayer
David Ayer's upcoming film Suicide Squad is gaining plenty of steam, even if there are over four months left before it makes its mark on cinemas around the world. While recent reports have the film going back into reshoots so late in the film's production life, Jai Courtney addressed the question during press rounds.
"What was the most surprising [about the shoot] was the camaraderie on set. It's easy to imagine, on a film of that scale with a cast of that scale, you wouldn't find the family that we did in each other. That was really awesome. You can't predict those things. You can't fashion it out of something else. Sometimes it works great, others not."
He described the reshoots as additional action scenes, making little fuss over it, so it contradicts reports that the reshoots are for the purpose of lightening things up.
"The boundaries we're pushing within that genre. It's so hard to talk about without saying anything, and as you know, I can't say anything. I think people can see from the material that is out there that there is something new and exciting that they haven't seen within this realm that Suicide Squad will offer. We're all just pumped to share that with the world."
Courtney describes his director as "psychotic." "He is the man. He's one of the greats. I think he has an amazing future ahead of him, and I hope we get to work together again. I have nothing but admiration for him, and a small amounts of fear. That about sums it up. He loves that attention to detail, and he's not interested in comfort. Nothing is about making anything easy for anyone."
