Emma told to Deadline, "Of course, you were doing each scene for a day, instead of the full story all the way through each day."

It does feel like Birdman." She then continues, "You couldn't have picked a better movie to make if you had to prepare for theatre, because every other movie has felt very different than what I'm doing right now."
