Discussing the actual movie production, the 28-year-old actor offers, We tried a lot of different things. That was yielding a different movie than the other factions wanted. You don’t know what it’s shaping up to be, how they’re editing it, so it’s kind of impossible without having seen those things to know what the difference [of opinion] was, or exactly what created those differences.
He adds, The actors are at the kids’ table, unless you’re also a producer of the movie. So you’re really kept out of all the backroom dynamics of what was going on.
