T blake nelson12/25/2023 I don’t think we’ve seen even the beginning of what’s going to happen with lawsuits in every industry, and in the movie industry, in which we depend so much on social interaction throughout the day and exposure of the self in a physically and emotionally vulnerable way. Otherwise, the liability concerns are just too great. Productions have to be more oriented now toward single, controllable locations, or stage work. That’s quite obvious, because you can’t just go willy-nilly to any location you’d like. I think the pandemic will have a dramatic impact on production in the near term, so much so that certain productions and types of productions simply won’t happen until there’s a vaccine. How do you think the pandemic will affect film production? In a previous interview, we spoke a little about your impression of how streaming services are changing the way films are made and viewed. I probably will be safer there than in Manhattan. Just the nature of the story has it pretty much within a very discrete and quarantine-able location, so I’m quite comfortable with it. They’re gonna have a dedicated COVID-19 ombudsman on set at all times. I feel in very good hands with these guys. They’ve been able to continue with that, while also now folding in protocols for COVID-19 that meet federal government standards, Arkansas government standards, and then go well beyond them. They were mainly detailing their work to begin shooting in May. The filmmakers have been building this town for about a year, so many of the sets were already built in terms of the structure.

The spread of the novel coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, has unfortunately been characterized by an abundance of misinformation about the virus and xenophobia pertaining to its origins. I’m about to do a movie in Arkansas, which is going to be one of the first films to start shooting after the lockdowns.Ĭoronavirus/COVID-19: What you need to know It’s been very useful to have this time to write. I’ve been working on that since the beginning of last summer. It’s not so different, other than that my wife and I usually go to restaurants now and again, the boys and I will go to a movie or museum, and we haven’t done any of that. I’m in my office writing by about 8:30, and I write all day with a lunch break, usually with my oldest son who’s home from college and is studying remotely between here and Ohio, and then break to make dinner and either read or watch a movie with my wife or the boys at night. Other than that, I still wake up at the same time, get the boys up on alternating days with my wife. My wife deals with the laundry and our bedroom, and the boys’ rooms, when she can get in there.
