(Hahaha)
All right let's get down to business
citing David people say that you were bringing a whole new look a whole new
field in this genre
What was your intent? Was that your intent all along? How'd you go about
doing it
I grew up reading comic books, I've always been a fan of- of the art of they are
And i wanted to make a film that looks like a comic book and not just has to do
With the visuals of the film and sort of the beauty of the medium and in the
costumes and the wardrobe and the sets but also the characters i wanted these
characters to have as much soul as the characters I remember as a kid growing up
you know what it's-
YEAH
you guys are awe, and this is a question for everybody
*laugh*
WOO
I like to hear the hype man
oh no, I'm
*laughs*
THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH!
I'm very excited, I'm just very excited
*Random sounds*
This is really a question for all of you
But to me the genius of this story is that you're bad guys and the bad guys
Always had this incredible attraction and yet now you're walking this line of
Trying to do a good thing that's going to be a lot of fun and anyone can grab
This one but the process of being a bad guy
What is the advantage of a character who's supposed to be bad trying to be
Good
I think what was great the that David's it really early
He said that this is not a movie about good versus evil
This is a movie about bad vs evil and I just thought that was a really
Interesting distinction it's like, you know, where-where is the line between bad
And evil? Is there a point where you've done so much dirt that you're no longer
Redeemable
You know, and it's fun for us trying to find that line of when you do bad things
But you do 'em for good reasons and sometimes you don't, you just do it
because it's fun to hurt somebody, you know *scoffs*
that's like it's really it's really great walking at line
(I love you, Will!)
I love you too, call me
Now
I got to see, I got to see the movie *laughs* and don't rub your nipples sir, it's disturbing
Uhhh.. I got to see the movie about a week ago
It's fantastic, I was blown away by it one of the things that really caught my
Attention is that you guys having chemistry that feels very real as a cast
It feels like you guys get along. What was that process? Like, was that natural
Did you hang out a lot? Did you train together? How did it work?
Anyone?
It's really unfortunate because nobody got along
At all, yeah
You know what was really great that the way
That- but when I would say David superpower is, is umm.. helping actors fall
Into your characters and your relationships.
He does a really umm.. interesting extended rehearsal process where you, you, you
Really don't realize you're rehearsing you're kind of sitting down and you're
Talking and he digs into your life so we've all shared
Really, you know, deep stories about ourselves and our pains and our triumphs
In-in this process and then what David does is on set
You know, you thought he was being a nice guy and you were sharing your life and
Then in the middle of a scene he throws your greatest childhood trauma back at you
*laughs*
And he says and dude the Joker did it
You know, it's a really fantastic process where you
You just can't help but bond when you're sharing those kind of
Intimate stories with one another
I think about what you share with your best friends you know and how open you
Are and how emotionally honest you are so if I can help these guys create sort
Of an accelerated friendship through this process of just trusting each other
Knowing each other secrets you know that's what you're seeing on screen in
And the magic of what these guys have done is-is how well they've bonded as a, as a
Family and I think that what's a little bit different from this film that
A lot of other films is that, that human connection they have in the most important
Thing to me is-is performance and actors and these guys killing it they
Bare their souls out there
YEAH 5x
For a lot of you there was an incredible amount of training in this film, I mean physical hard training
You can see in the film you guys are in amazing shape but the scenes themselves
Are very action. What was that like
I mean
How hard were you working? was it- were working full days? were you killing yourselves or
(Margot's takin' it)
Margot, you take that one
Whatever everyone did in this film
I did it in a pair of heels so it kinda um.. adding up added an element of difficulty that you
Know it's really cool we got to do so I mean David wanted us to do as many of
Our stunts as possible we ended up doing most of them ourselves and learning
Random little skills and learn how to hold my breath underwater for like five minutes
That was cool. We got to like jump off things things always exploding on set I
Mean it was just insane all the time
I don't know anyone else in the business right now who would have both the
Stamina of the will and the talent to to pull off with Margot pulled off and when
You see, the film you're going to see her doing her own fighting her own stunts, I mean
Yeah we had a double but I think doubles are crafty sandwiches
I mean, she really did incredible work
I want to just get my own shout out to viola. Viola
I thought you were one of the top in the film you portray one of the most
Tough-minded characters I've ever seen in the film it's really an incredible
performance
Yeah, thank you yeah
I played myself
*claps*
Then I'm very afraid then. I will never mess with you. David, music, huge part of this
Film I was blown away by how much
Incredible songs were access for this film what was how did you make those choices?
A little bit from my own life but just a lot of finding that right
Combination of music that goes with a picture because there's a true alchemy
That happens that when you can get the right music on a fantastic piece of film
It transcends, you know, they both become something else that's really magical and
Obviously i got some guys and show that that have a little experience in the
music world so I couldn't let them down
*Will and his epic beatbox*
He didn't use that he didn't use that. He didn't use that though, he use that
That's what I hear in my head all the time
David, before, now we have time we are so tight on time to get, uh so many people
That we have time for one question so we have a question here yeah
Someone's coming up
For the cast:
Nieces, nephews, sons and daughters how do they
Feel about you have in this role for Mr Ayer *inaudible*
Thank you
*inaudible*
Naw, this-this is the type of thing that you know, no-
No matter how cool you
You think you are here yo-your kids think you suck
So
This is like the first time where, like, I'm cool for real
In fact that it like this Suicide Squad
I don't know what it is but something about this idea and something about this
Cast has really captured something you know so my kids are doing what I say
At least, you know, for the next couple of months but it's a really good luck and i
I want, I want to share one quick story one quick story so we started the rehearsal
Process and Jared was really the first person that like really kicked it into
another gear
So we were rehearsing and and you know so that he was working separate
So the Joker was working separate so one day there's a knock on the door
And, uhh.. This guy walks in, you know, top looking guy walks in he says:
"I got a message from Mr. J"
And I was like, "Yo man, what the fuck? Security!
Like some dude just walked into rehearsal, right, and he puts a box down on the
Table in front of Margot and he says "That's a gift from Mr. J in honor your relationship
Right
I was like this Oh Mr J- Oh, Mr. J
Ok, ok. So Margot, you know, starts to open the box and, you know, there was a note
And was like from the Joker and I was like oh ok that's cool that that's funny
Jared is like taking it real serious, right.
And.. Margo open the box...
And there was a live rat in the box
She jumped
Yeah and
Everyone jumped!
And listen, listen and I was playing deadshot but
If i had had pearls on i would have clutch them
Right
It was like, we j- "AHHHHH"
*laughs*
Put the top back on with the RAT! right. So for the whole movie
That's the that's the kind of stuff Jared was doing but he really kicked
Everybody into another level and another level of focus on doing this right
That's what I've been telling press is that,you know, Jared does an
Incredible contribution of the film obviously you know that the tightrope
Act of of playing the Joker who is the most well-known uh..villain in western
Fiction and-and look you know he's standing in the shadow Giants and
The contribution besides just nailing the role in being so courageous and
Tackling it is is he's the guy that really galvanized the cast he was, he was
The sword
You know, that we use the hammer that made that sword sharp
I, uh.. i wish we had more time
Go ahead Jared, I don't wanna touch you off
And if I open my mouth just make it little uh..
X-rated here
