(39,387 posts)They were filming The Gingerbread Man with Kenneth Branaugh (Directed by Robert Altman, who takes for freakin ever for a shot) and the scene was at a single level, road side motel. The film company had only rented out the center of the motel so the crack whores were able to conduct their business as usual. Branaugh was not please with how long it was taking so he called for a cooler of beer. I was an extra and a driver in the film, but they scratched the driving portion. Between each painstaking attempt at a shot, they had to reset the rain truck, dry off the windows...... As we sat there, he just got punchy and started passing out beer to the few remaining extras. The Prod Assts absolutely hated it, which is why I think he kept doing it. We laughed at the whores and drank Coors from the can.
