During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Margot Robbie shared some interesting anecdotes about the dedicated colleagues she worked with on the set of her upcoming film, Amsterdam. The actress explained that working with director David O. Russell and lead actor Christian Bale was an intense experience, as they were both extremely committed to their craft.
Robbie revealed that Russell, known for his continuous work ethic, never called 'cut' on the film. This meant that the production never really stopped, which was both thrilling and challenging for the cast and crew. However, there was one instance where they had to face the consequences of their relentless dedication.
While shooting in Pasadena, the crew exceeded their permitted time, and law enforcement had to step in. Despite the producers' growing worries, Russell and Bale continued working, refusing to stop. Eventually, the Pasadena police had to intervene, urging them to wrap up the shoot. Robbie found it amusing that a policewoman from Pasadena was the one to officially call it a wrap on the film.
Amsterdam boasts an impressive cast, including Chris Rock, Zoë Saldana, Rami Malek, Robert De Niro, and Anya Taylor-Joy, alongside Robbie and Bale.
The film, written and directed by David O. Russell, takes place in the 1930s and revolves around three friends—a doctor, a nurse, and an attorney—who must prove their innocence after becoming entangled in a shocking secret plot.
Described as a captivating blend of historical fact and fiction, Amsterdam promises to deliver a timely and cinematic experience. With its star-studded ensemble and talented director, the film is highly anticipated by both fans and critics alike. Audiences can catch Amsterdam in theaters on October 7th.
