That's all kinds of normal for a film set. As far as being an actor a lot of that time is spent just kinda being available when they get around to needing you as well. He would probably be spending a decent amount of that time vibing in his trailer doing whatever he wants while they set up shots and whatever. If there's any exterior shooting you need to do things at the right time cause the sun moves and that fucks up your lighting and continuity. It's also just a massive massive pain in the ass for the people working for a pay check on set cause the time wasted on a rich actor being late could mean the production going over schedule and them missing out on the next gig they had lined up. Making movies is fucking miserable and it's amazing that anyone does it even for lots of money
you need to do things at the right time cause the sun moves and that fucks up your lighting and continuity
Lmao you just reminded of a shoot I was on where it suddenly started snowing
When it finally stopped the police started some action in the building next to ours, fucking up all the sound
We had the place for two days and that was those days
Hold for plane
That's not how that works. Read my second to last sentence. There are jobs that simply by their nature require long hours, if anything studios would rather the high paus union people on set be working less hours but a reality of film work is you bust your balls for a couple months and then have a month off and even then the on set time is often just being there, like a firefighter being in the station for two weeks and then two weeks off. They're on duty, they're on the job and have some stuff to do but they're around to put out fires

Making films is miserable in the way it's set up today but seeing the final product of something you nearly died making is extremely satisfying lol
And then I, an armchair know-nothing reviewer, get to call it derivative!
Yes, exactly. And if even one actor is pushing back, even in his own selfish way, critical support to any resistance at all.
