I don’t think One Battle After Another can be over-hyped. You’re going to hear alot of what sounds like awards season hyperbole about it, but it’s not - the movie is undeniable, it really is that good. And it’s a big funny entertaining action movie, but also much more. I can’t wait to see it again.

Frog was standing near Toad's bed. “Wake up, Toad,” he said.

Toad stands on his bed, thrilled upon waking to see Frog.

That was such a cool concept design. We never created/shot them, I don’t remember exactly but I bet it was because the scene was going to focus on the gorilla walkers, and we figured let’s put these in the design bank for something in the future when they can be used & properly highlighted.

Thanks so much - that was a really special one to make with that song and those actors. Had had the idea in my head for years, considered doing it as a short, and when I learned one of my favorite bands was looking for a music vid for this song I jumped at it and pitched.

I think (though I may be wrong) that he does smoke but that it was Laura’s cigarette brand, and she was riding shotgun.
