![]() ![]() ![]() Now let's talk about the prep for this film. So, I enjoy bouncing back and forth, but I really, I really did enjoy this project because of that freedom and the collaborative process. "What's happening right now?", "Does this make sense?", "What can we do to adjust things?" And so there's certain freedom and creativity that you get in film that you don't have on television. When you do a film, it's like the concept is, "What's the main thing?" and then after that, it's like you gotta try to create in the moment. Nothing can be done on the fly because there's too many cooks in the kitchen. In television, you got too many people that you're answering to in terms of the creativity of it all. Anyway, so the thing about film, there's just a certain freedom with the development and script because when you step on the set, there's a certain power that the producers and the leads and the director have that you can sort of create magic on the spot. I'll complain about that to the day I die. I don't know what's going on, but they act like, you know, they, they just won't, I don't know, there's just ridiculous hours on television. So what has been the biggest difference for you in film, and what made you say yes to this film?Ĭolter: I'm not gonna lie to you, the hours are better in film than television. ![]() Sun: Mike, you play so many iconic characters on television, and this is like one of your major breakout movie star roles in film. You are stuck with them the whole way through this, and then they basically land in hell. We all, as people, imagine what it must be like being in a plane when it goes down and this doesn't let you off the hook. And it's been a while since we've seen a really good movie where the plane is the central character because it's a terrifying prospect. Then, it's a survival movie, it's a drama, it's a thriller. We had all that in the first act, and then from there, it unfolds as a completely different movie. Now, normally you have to wait till the end of the movie to get all that fun and that action. You could follow what they were having to go through, but you could see the extreme peril that they were in, and that was the first act. Gerard, you've been producing and acting in several of your films, so what makes Plane stand out to you?īutler: When I read this script, I went, especially the first part-by the end of the first act, I literally felt like an audience member, like I was white-knuckling it, going through this storm with these pilots, it felt very believable. I'm glad that you guys are having fun and I know that because 'every minute matters,' I'm just going to jump right on in. ![]()
