Well ... that may not be the final title, but I was booked under that title. If you look it up on IMDB it takes you to a page for the film Hancock, but when I arrived on set all the movie paraphernalia had John Hancock on it. *shrug*
Anyway, it's starring Will Smith, Charlize Theron, and Jason Bateman. I was prefit last week as a hospital worker and told I would be working on Thursday, Sept 6. On Sunday, I received a call saying that it was now a night shoot with a possible recall for Friday.
So last night I left at 4PM in order to be at the location down town by my call time of 6PM. I got there around 5 so that wasn't too bad. I checked in, went through wardrobe, and was taken to the set. I think there were close to 75 or 100 extras broken up into categories (10 hospital workers, police, swat, reporters, etc). They had a whole intersection blocked off with 3 cranes and rigging set up and a building set up to be "Mercer General". My scrubs say "Mercer General" and so does my id badge. Will Smith plays a super hero and apparently in the scene, he jumps out a hospital window into the street below into oncoming traffic. One of the scenes they did last night was his landing in the street in the middle of cars and flying and landing again. It was really cool to watch. He and his stunt double did it many times.
The other scene, that we worked on while they were rehearsing the stunt, was a scene with Jason Bateman talking to reporters outside the hospital.
In all the scenes I worked on last night, I'm way in the background walking around, but it was really cool to see the way they worked on the stunt and all that went into it.
I got recalled for tonight ... call time 6 PM again. I only got 5 hours of sleep, since we didn't get wrapped until 5 AM last night, so I'm a bit out of it at this point.
I'm looking forward to seeing what scenes we'll be doing tonight. =)
