    02:27 Who wants to see the 135.5 hours of raw footage that didn't make the final cut ? *raises hand *

    I really want Simon Pegg and Taika Waititi to make a movie together :D they both have such a visual way of creating humor or drama its amazing!

    `My take on this? 150 hours of multiple complete versions of every scene. Man, they could make more versions of this movie and I for one would love it

    It would be really cool to see some of the footage that didn't make it into the movie.

    Interesting discussions of Screenwriting techniques: if you rip some pages out of your notebook, make sure you get all the pieces out before doing anything else, get together every once in a while and write one line, once the script is finished, don't show it to the actors.

    What a great actor too, like you see him in real life and you see him on the big screen and his characters have a completely different energy from himself. I love him!

    I just bought Jojo Rabbit. So incredibly brilliant. Thank you. During these ugly maga trump times, I needed this. I finished Hunting for the Wilderpeople before finding lots of interviews that introduced Jojo Rabbit. This is a magnificent day watching two masterpieces. You are so appreciated Taika Waititi🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

      Why are you angry? What a totally retarded reaction. Did you fund the movie, commission it to be made?
      Or are you totally irrelevant?
