Sounds like they're in Sacramento until about the 20th.
Some local controversy over homeless encampments being cleared out by the city to accommodate the shoot.

The LOOK of this film, exteriors at least, will almost certainly be gray skies, damp and gloomy, right? That's been the weather for almost every outside shoot that we've seen. Even saw one video of them additionally watering down a street prior to shooting a scene. Will be interesting to see how PTA works within this aesthetic.

*Cue the Joe Montana "Hey that's John Candy" Super Bowl story*

They shot indoors on Sunday, but were out in it on Monday. Heard they're back to Sac today (Tues).

Been wondering if the rain has been affecting the Cali shoot.

Have we heard any talk about when they're going to be leaving California and going to Texas/Mexico? Given how quickly everything is moving I wouldn't be surprised if they were heading off within a week.

PTA's been prepping this since 2019!?!?!

I thought it was fairly common knowledge that he had a project that was pretty far along pre-COVID, and he temporarily shelved it and pivoted to Licorice Pizza as an easier thing to tackle during the pandemic. It will be interesting down the road to hear PTA talk about how his vision for this new film evolved, how much rewriting he did, perhaps given changes in the world and in his outlook between 2018 and 2024. Has the tone he envisioned for this evolved?

I'm pretty sure Licorice Pizza was announced pre covid though? Like December 2019?

Yeah, we saw this during COVID.  I remember some NBA players finding games very strange, like glorified practices.

I think it depends. Joaquin talks about one slow-motion shot of him walking down the subway in Joker where he's got a grin on his face and out of the corner of his eye he sees a paparazzi and his face turns into a scowl and he said something to the effect of he could never be a good enough actor to pull that off on his own.

Slightly off topic, but it always amazes me - when watching BTS footage like that - how actors are able to get into the headspace of a scene while being closely followed by camera crew, sound guys, the director etc and snapped by a load of paparazzi.
