Is everything going well?
Yeah, it's going really well. Did you watch the scene?
Yes, yes.
I have the impression that the longer you're shooting, the better the performances.
Yes, that's always the case.
That's why you always start with wide angle shots
where you see the actors from a distance
and save the close-ups for the end.
Their acting usually only improves over time. - I see.
She's also very good, huh?
Yeah, she's very good.
Did you already talk to her? - No, I don't dare.
Neither do I.
In the US, the protagonists are very famous.
Wentworth Miller is known from the series Prison Break.
Eric Stonestreet won an Emmy Award for his part in Modern Family.
James Marsden starred in X-Men ... and Superman Returns.
Carl Urban is known from Star Trek ... and Lord of the Rings.
And then there is also one Belgian actor.
Matthias Schoenaerts, the star from Rundskop (Bullhead).
Just like every movie star, Matthias too has his own trailer.
Matthias?
Good morning. Hey! I'm Martin.
I was taking a nap.
Am I disturbing?
No, shoot. - Nothing special. Just wanted to know how you're doing?
Can I talk to you for two minutes? - Sure, I'll be right there.
Shoot.
I was just wondering how things are going, and have your take on proceedings here.
First of all, it's very hot. No, it's great.
For you it's the first time to I guess, having this huge setup?
Yes, it's the first time I have a trailer.
Every cast member has its own trailer.
I already received a soccer ball.
They know I love soccer.
Oh, it's nice here with the air conditioning.
Soccer school Beerschot.
You have a soccer history?
Yes.
Professional?
Yeah, pretty much. And stuborn as I am, I called it quits one day.
Character.
Matthias has been called to the set.
And I try to get as close as possible to the American movie stars.
Especially Wentworth Miller intrigues me.
In between takes, everybody seeks shelter in air-conditioned rooms.
The stars have their own VIP corner, where extras are not allowed.
Matthias feels already at home among the American stars.
It's the first time in my life I saw Hollywood stars. - Really?
I look at them with a certain amazement.
But Wentworth Miller didn't want to talk.
How is your interaction with these stars? - Good.
In the beginning you're a bit shy, but ... - You too?
Sure, of course. - But you're the boss now, no?
Yeah, that's right.
Every scene is shot from different angles.
And that demands a huge concentration and resilience from the actors.
