![]() ![]() MacFARLANE: What a nerd question! In your fucking imagination, they can be married. How did you come up with the idea to include the Back to the Future and Django Unchained sequences in the film? And does this movie mean that those two films now take place in the same continuity? I’m terrified that I’m going to miss something, and that was enormously time consuming. That was probably the biggest challenge because I like to look at every single frame of every dailies. With this, there was a lot more coverage, so there was a lot more dailies to look at. With that movie, we had to cut shots that just looked like backgrounds and guess where the bear was going to go. We didn’t have an absent main character, as we did in Ted. MacFARLANE: In some ways the post-production was easier, and in some ways it was harder than Ted. Seth, what has been your biggest challenge with the post-production process? If we were to do this again, it would be nice to find a more temperate climate. We joke about it, but it was a big problem. It was a perfectly nice day, and then there were suddenly these giant hail stones coming form the sky. It was lightning storms happening all around you. There was every weather extreme that you could imagine, and oftentimes right on top of each other. We were driving back, and I felt like Wayne Knight in Jurassic Park. MacFARLANE: These flash floods would come out of nowhere. Get out of your trailer right now and start driving.” I was like, “I’m gonna die on this movie!” There was a night where we shot, and Seth left before me, and I got a text from him that literally just said, “The road is washing away. I felt like it was Biblical times and we were all going to die a horrible death by weather. ![]() I would want to paint it, but I wouldn’t necessarily want to go and shoot in it again. What was it like to shoot on location in New Mexico? I liked this character and I felt like could bring something to the table. And then, I read the material and it was really well-written. Even before I read it, just the idea of doing something that’s pitched in this very unusual comedy-Western situation, with Seth at the helm of that, was very intriguing. There was talk about Seth doing this film. THERON: I got to read this, pretty early on. I don’t have any tits! I had to pad for this role.Ĭharlize, how did Seth convince you to do this role? THERON: I’m very method, so it has to be real. And I got so much from Charlize, and was made so comfortable by her, during this process, that I got to like it, pretty quickly.Ĭharlize, how did the joke about your tits come about? Was that your idea, or was it in the script? So, what became clear – and this is probably old hat to actors, but it was new to me – was that your performance really does depend, in a large portion, on what you’re getting from the other person. But also, I was with the most talented actress that I possibly could have. You’re using your whole body and there are things that are different, but when you are doing a character, even in the booth, nobody is watching but my face will do different things when I do different characters. It was more like voice acting than I thought it would be. ![]() ![]() One was that the muscles didn’t take as much reconditioning as I thought they would. There were two things that became apparent, pretty quickly into the process. MacFARLANE: That did make me more than a little uneasy, going into this. Gilmore Girls and Star Trek: Enterprise is the extent of it, with two lines apiece.ĬHARLIZE THERON: You were on Gilmore Girls?! SETH MacFARLANE: I haven’t done it to this extent, no. Question: Seth, we’ve heard you act more than we’ve gotten to see you act. Check out what they had to say after the jump. The film also stars Giovanni Ribisi, Sarah Silverman, Amanda Seyfried, Neil Patrick Harris and Liam Neeson.ĭuring a conference at the film’s press day, Seth MacFarlane and Charlize Theron talked about shooting on location in New Mexico in weather conditions that rival those in Biblical times, the biggest challenge of the post-production process, how the film tribute sequences came about, deciding on who would get cameos, how liberating it is to work on a film like this, and how everyone was starstruck by Liam Neeson. When the mysterious and beautiful gunslinger Anna ( Charlize Theron) rides into town, she helps Albert find his courage and shows him that he deserves to have someone appreciate him for who he is. Writer/Producer/Director/Actor Seth MacFarlane’s latest venture is A Million Ways to Die in the West, a comedy Western that tells the tale of Albert Stark (MacFarlane), a sheep farmer who is trying to figure out how to survive the very harsh frontier life of the 1880s. ![]()
