> “I showed up [on set] and I am ready and it’s my chance to work with one of my heroes,” Damon continued. “The very first take, I did it… There are a number of ways I’m thinking of doing the scene and he just goes, ‘Cut, print, move on.’ I go, ‘Hang on, hang on, hang on, boss. I want to, you know, I want to do another one. That was the first one!’ He goes, ‘Why? You wanna waste everybody’s time?’ And I went, ‘No, I guess we’re moving on.’”
> Damon stressed “there was a kindness” to Eastwood’s rejection and called the filmmaker “a lovely guy,” adding: “His whole mentality was… your crew will go to the ends of the Earth for you if as long as you’re not taxing them on every shot.”
Did he film six takes or only five?
Clint Eastwood has been known for disliking productions that waste time and money. He saw it so often when first starting his career so when Malpaso Productions was first started the main goals were to finish a film on time and on budget. You’ll periodically hear some directors bragging about how many takes they do or how many feet of film was used. If a scene looked good from the first take and meets his standards chances are you’re doing something right.
But you see, if you keep the camera rolling…
“Why don’t you grab a chair and take a seat you crazy, senile old man” would’ve been the response to that
Worked as an extra on Flags. Clint filmed maybe 2 or 3 takes of each scene, and wrapped for the night. We spent longer getting set up than we did filming. So on set for maybe 4 hours – but got paid for 8, because that was the contract. On any other film, it would have been a 16-hour day.

When the director says they got it, they got it.
Yeah he is known to be cost efficient, under budget or not exceeding it, fast and on schedule.
Total opposite of let’s say Kubrick who could do even 50 or so takes of a very simple scene.
He’ll work longer and do more takes with kids who are new to the scene. I assume he expects regular working actors to know their moments and hit their marks. He’d give a few more shots to new to the game kids.
He did this to Angelina Jolie too. She wanted another scene take, he agreed, but told the film crew to quietly exit out the back while was getting ready.
Bradly Cooper recently talked about this with the movie American Sniper. The infamous doll scene. Even in editing Clint was like “yup, moving on”. Seems to me like the dude is just doing it for a paycheck at this point. He’s freaking 95 years old.
I have seen a fair number of Clint’s movies. I haven’t enjoyed any of them. Even Unforgiven is…off, somehow. I could not possibly be a bigger fan of the Man w/No Name movies, but…as a director he leaves me cold.
Is it possible that his relentless drive for efficiency misses something?
I, too, listen to Conan
Someone listened to CONAF
This is old and taken from an interview. What lazy „journalism“.
Was an extra on J Edgar. He was so efficient with his shots
That’s funny. You wanna waste everyone’s time? I hear that in Clint voice followed by- You want me to kick your ass?
