WithHotel Artemisopening in theaters this weekend, I recently sat down withCharlie Dayfor a video interview. During the wide-ranging conversation, he talked about getting to work with writer-directorDrew Pearce, his friendship withSterling K. Brown, what it was like working with cinematographerChung-hoon Chung, filming in downtown Los Angeles, who ruined the most takes, memorable moments from filming, and so much more. In addition, he revealed what some of the episodes ofIt’s Always Sunny in PhiladelphiaSeason 13 are about, including how they’re filming a two-parter that deals with the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl.
If you’re not familiar withHotel Artemis, the film takes place in a near-future Los Angeles and revolves around a secret members-only hospital that caters to criminals. Run by The Nurse (Jodie Foster), the hospital has various rules (including no weapons and no murdering other patients) that are put into question when an object of great value enters its gates. The film also stars Sterling K. Brown as “Waikiki,”Dave Bautistaas “Everest,”Sofia Boutellaas “Nice,” Jeff Goldblum as “The Wolf King/Niagara,”Brian Tyree Henryas “Honolulu,”Jenny Slateas “Morgan,”Zachary Quintoas “Crosby,” and Charlie Day as “Acapulco.”Hotel Artemisarrives in U.S. theaters on June 8th.
