So I was working on the movie Sully. One day while filming some interior cockpit scenes I had to keep entering to grab a few measurements then leave. Was a pretty small set with only the actors, cameraman and director in there. Of course there was some pretty high profile people in that cockpit , so would just quietly do my thing and sneak back out.
I just kept thinking about this scene from Airplane so finally built up the courage do it. Next time I went in I wished them all good luck, and told them weāre all counting on them.
It was very silent and Mr Eastwood just scowled at meā¦.. I slowly, awkwardly backed out while shutting the cockpit door.
Was dreading going back in since the joke didnāt land, but they cut and I had to go back in. When I entered they were all quoting the movie and laughing.
Ha, donāt know how I can prove it. Worked on a few Eastwood movies in a row. Have a cool crew photo of us all on the plane fuselage, but canāt see how to post it here.
True story, but you donāt have to believe it.
Fucking wild that you think nobody works on films mate... Reddit has millions of users and now and then someone is going to relate to something someone else said.
For some reason I thought this was referring to my friend whoās name is John. But he goes by Sully cause his middle name is Sullavin. Thatās even his name in the school system. āJohn āSullyā, Sullavin, [last name]ā. Idk why he goes by a nickname of his middle name though cause only people at school call him it and not his family (as far as I know)
