Will Netflix release The Seven Deadly Sins Season 5 in 2021? Here’s everything we know
While filming a club scene with Charlie Weber (Christian Vance), Dylan Sprouse (Trevor Matthews), and Josephine Langford (Tessa Young), the cast and crew were surprised at how sexy Jo was and how she was dancing.
Bloopers are included in the DVD package. Roger Kumble ensured that they had bloopers.
He confirmed this again on November 10, 2020, when he replied to a fan on Twitter saying that he was prepping for commentary, while the bloopers were waiting for legal approval from the actors involved.
While some behind the scenes content were taken, the process of getting them approved and financially backed was too complicated. There most likely won’t be a behind the scenes reel. Anna got a lot of content herself as they didn’t have a social media producer on set. It should be noted that behind the scenes content is different than promotional content.
Because the first film was written and made in a certain way, it changed the plot and events of After We Collided. Because they couldn’t “undo” the events they had to do the best they could to evolve the plot. One of the things the producers were able to change from the first film was Hessa’s apartment. The new set designer was able to redo the apartment so Hessa had a bedroom and the bathroom was readjusted.
The first scene Josephine Langford (Tessa Young) shot in the film was her standing behind a curtain reacting to something.
Because of the hype around the fucking Trevor statements, production decided to make a big deal out of the first time Hardin calls Trevor, fucking Trevor.
