If you’re wondering what a 2nd AD does in film & TV, it’s frantically rewriting the callsheet on location because everything has changed last minute.

Cannot stress enough how much better it is to have a dozen mid budget (10-50mil) films ahead of one 200million film. Even the Bob Marley film has made 177million on a 70million budget! I think this could be the year we stop leaning as heavily on overly costly blockbusters.

@ThisIsCreation One thing that stood out to me in Killers Of Flower Moon was how many great faces Scorsese has in there. Not great as in super attractive, but interesting and worn, rugged etc. People who look like the've lived hard lives. The casting in that film is ace.

@Lauren9Dudley I paid £375 (not including bills) for this room last year. I think it was low because it was let out by an old couple who had been letting the flat out for years and hadn’t upgraded their rental charge to move with the times. I am aware how incredibly lucky I was with this.

On Sherlock, I was a massive fan, probably didnt hide it well. On a cold nightshoot we were doing when I was waiting to travel Benedict to set, he invited me in his green room and asked what films I was excited for. We watched trailers for like 20 mins until set was ready for him

Coupled with last years big bombs - Indy 5, Transformers 5, Ant Man 3, Shazam 2 - maybe we’ll start getting more original(ish) films with smaller budgets.

I guess the big concern is that they’ll cut the budgets by taking away from the crews and paying them less, rather than not spending a bunch of money on changing VFX stuff way after filming.
