Matt Damon says Anne Hathaway was fully sobbing for a background scene where they couldn’t even be properly seen
Matt Damon:“There was one of those days where they were shooting the beggars who were even further away, the background artists, and we were on the steps doing the scene, and Anne was fully sobbing.”
“I said, ‘Anne, there’s no way they can see us.’”
“She says, ‘Nope, nope. I have to get it for everything.’”
“She goes, ‘They can feel it.’”
“I go, ‘I don’t know if they know we’re here.’”
Anne Hathaway:“My whole thing about it was by that point, they had been there for weeks.”
“They had been waiting for their close-up for weeks.”
“And I was just like, ‘We gotta, we gotta go full out for them.’”
“‘They’ve been there for us every day.’”
Matt Damon: “But I, because I’m nearsighted, I couldn’t even see them.”
“I’m like, ‘I don’t think they can see us.’”
Anne Hathaway:“I’m like, ‘One of them has amazing vision, and we’re here for that one.’”
Matt Damon:“Have we mentioned how large Stage 20 is and how big that hall was that we built?”

THE INVITE. First off, Olivia Wilde is a bonafide auteur. Her direction throughout this film is astonishing. The camera is always in the most impactful position, capturing the mood & emotion as well as the distance between characters. It’s a master class of storytelling. Ed Norton is the best he’s been in a decade. Penelope Cruz is reborn with this performance. A relevance that has been missing - she’s a revelation. Olivia Wilde brings out her personal best performance. Seth Rogen is laugh out load funnier than ever.
Resonant, ridiculously clever. Highest recommendation.

Scarlett Johansson was the first choice for Don Jon (2013)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt wrote the role of Barbara Sugarman specifically for her.
He believed she would bring a unique charm and specificity to the role.
He was so committed that he had no real backup plan if she said no.
He even flew to the set of The Avengers to pitch it to her directly.
