It has been edited for length and clarity.</em></p><p>I always liked to dress up as a kid. I would be a cowboy one day or a penguin the next. I've also always believed that you need to enjoy the moment and enjoy yourself. Life is too short.</p><p>I'm originally from London's East End, but I moved to Ibiza in the 1970s and became a DJ there for a while. I've played in bands. I lived abroad for 17 years, spent time living in Brussels and Luxembourg, and I'm blessed to have two good kids.</p><p>I officially retired in 2018. I'm 69 now. I help run a family beard-grooming business — <a href="https://www.instagram.com/judgeandstoker/?hl=en">Judge &amp; Stoker</a> — and I still play music. But when you retire, you need a purpose in life. I can't waste my time sleeping and watching daytime TV. For me, there's nothing worse than not keeping yourself busy.</p><h2><strong>That's why I became a film and TV extra, something I fell into accidentally</strong></h2><p>I was in a pub in 2019 with some friends when we got chatting to a guy who came in to watch football. He told us he was a film double — I think he was an Antonio Banderas look-alike — and asked if I was an actor.</p><p>He told me I had a particular "look" — a big beard, quite medieval maybe — but I wasn't an actor. This person said I should consider it, and he gave me a list of names of agencies to contact.</p><p>One was called <a href="https://www.universalextras.co.uk/">Universal Extras</a>. Anyone can be an extra, so I signed up. I didn't hear anything for a few months, but then I started to be offered roles.</p><p>I've played characters such as a Hebridean local dressed as a fisherman and a Victorian gent. I've tried on a suit worn by Bob Hoskins, but it was a little too tight for me around the shoulders, which was disappointing. I was looking forward to wearing it.</p><p>I worked on "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore," where I had to have an argument during a tea ceremony while people ran around holding sticks as wands. It's funny to see that before they put the effects in. I've also been in "Enola Holmes" with Millie Bobby Brown.</p><h2>Because filming takes place for months on end, which then has to be condensed to a few hours, you don't know if you're going to be in the films</h2><p>But that doesn't matter, it's just a nice day out for me.</p><p>I get to visit the Harry Potter studios outside London and have my makeup done by Oscar-winning artists. I've spent days on set with guys running around shooting fake guns at each other and falling off motorcycles, and you meet lots of nice people. The fact that you get paid for doing it is a bonus.</p><p>You can earn quite good money though. There's a standard rate of between £125 and £130 a day, plus overtime. I know people who earn £80,000 to £90,000 a year. They are always working though and are signed to multiple agencies. They're the people sitting in the pub in "EastEnders" or lying in hospital beds on TV dramas such as "Holby City."</p><h2>You need patience to be an extra</h2><p>There is a lot of standing around and waiting for technical issues to be fixed, which can sometimes be physically hard. You need to be reliable and show up on time. I sometimes have to wake up at 5 a.m. for filming to start at 6.30 a.m., but none of the work is a slog. </p><p>It's awesome to stand next to people such as Eddie Redmayne and say good morning to them, but you can't get starstruck, and you can't take sneaky pictures.</p><p>I've seen a couple of people get chucked off set. You get people moving in front of the camera, sometimes even looking into the camera. You're not the star of the show. You just enjoy the day and the fact that you're in something that's bigger than yourself.</p><h2>I'm working on other projects at the moment, but I can't speak about those</h2><p>Film companies normally give films code names so that people don't know what they are until the last minute. The companies don't want to see photos on Instagram from the set either. If they do, they'll ban you, and then you won't work.</p><p>I feel blessed. As a retired person, I know people who get to a certain age and work in supermarkets, directing people to the right aisles. Not to disrespect anyone who does that, but that's not for me.</p><p>I need to keep my mind active, and it's not always about money. It's about having experiences.</p>

I retired and became an extra for films like 'Fantastic Beasts.' Here's how I got into it.

Yes, actual swords, for stars and stunt actors alike to cut, slice, and swing at each other. Sure, in some instances rubber swords are used, like when an actor does stunts that require falling. But as high-definition video has improved, using authentic-looking swords has become more important.<br /><br /><strong>Tony Swatton:</strong> It needs to be real, so you can go in close, you can see it. And also, if an actor picks up a sword, he has that tactile feedback of the sword in his hand and working with it, as opposed to holding a baton and emulating on a green screen what's supposed to be happening. So, it makes a big difference.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> Jack Sparrow, Blade, Zorro, Peter Pan, and countless other movie stars use a sword as their weapon of choice. But to achieve an authentic look, plastic or rubber swords simply won't do. Forget about a prop house; these swords are created in a real blacksmith shop. The authenticity and speed with which these swords are made can only be done by a real blacksmith, like Tony Swatton.<br /><br /><strong>Tony:</strong> I'm a smith. I'm a blacksmith, I'm a bladesmith, I'm a silversmith, I also work in copper and tin. I hit things with a hammer. So, that's basically my job.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> Swords, made from real metal, being heated, beaten, grinded, beaten some more, quenched... Whoa! And polished, all for on-screen accuracy. For over 30 years, Tony's been making iconic weapons and armor in his shop, Sword and the Stone. He has over 200 feature films and TV shows under his belt.<br /><br /><strong>Tony:</strong> "Legend of Zorro" and "The Mask of Zorro," I made the principal swords for Antonio Banderas for Zorro. I did "Pirates of the Caribbean." I did "Pirates" one, two and three, and four.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> He worked on the sword and that throwable glaive thingy for "Blade," as well as...<br /><br />[screaming]<br /><br /><strong>Tony:</strong> I worked on "Hook." I made the hook for the movie "Hook," as well as the swords and background swords.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> I know, it's not a sword, but he did the hook from "Hook," and that's pretty cool. It starts with production sharing their sword needs and working with the blacksmith on the design. It's also crucial to decide what the sword will be made from.<br /><br /><strong>Tony:</strong> A lot of times, a film will contact me and say: "Hey, we have a movie, it's 12th century Scotland, and we need to make a sword. What would you recommend?" Or, "This is our design, how would you go about making it?" We kind of work together with the prop master, the costume designer, the set decorator, and the production designer. A lot of times I'll have an input into what we make. Zorro's sword, case in point, it was actually a curved hunting sword from the 1500s that was in the Tower of London, and The Wallace Collection in London and I cobbled those together and made it into a, more of a rapier, then shortened that down and embellished it with details from both swords.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> Once the design is decided, multiple versions of the same sword will be created, depending on how the sword will be used on screen. A more authentic real-steel sword is needed for close-up action shots, while an aluminum sword will be used for wider shots and sequences that require more movement.<br /><br /><strong>Tony:</strong> This is the hero Jack Sparrow's sword. This is formed out of steel. Forged steel hilt, ebony grip. This is not a hero piece; this is a background piece. This is a stunt weapon. <br /><strong>Joe:</strong> This one feels way lighter. <br /><strong>Tony:</strong> It is way lighter. The hero piece is out of forged steel for the hilt and ebony for the grip. This is identical from here down. The blade is identical looking at it going up here, but this is made out of aluminum. This is an aluminum rapier. It's lightweight, it's dull, it's not gonna cut anyone, but it has great properties. Comes back to true. <br />Joe: I don't know why I flinched there. I was like, ah! [laughs] <br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> The sword starts as layers of dissimilar metal welded together. In this instance, some of the layers are made from an industrial band-saw blade originally used to cut down redwood trees. Yo! The metal is heated up, then hammered flat either by hand or power hammer. Then folded over and flattened a few more times. The sword is ground down to its shape and is heat-treated in an electric oven. This process brings the blade up to 1,600 degrees. And then it's quenched in oil. This hardens the steel. Without this stuff, the blade would crack or shatter while in use. After that, more grinding and polishing. Tony also makes the grip, hilt, and pommel. It's all put together, and voilà. You have a sword.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> Seen here, my guy Bryan swings the real sword. Its weight and authenticity makes for a realistic-looking swing and action you can only get with a real sword. In case you couldn't tell, this is a pretty dangerous environment. Everything is either hot, sharp, or poisonous. Notice I'm not in any of these shots. That's because I'm behind the cameraman.<br /><br /><strong>Tony:</strong> What makes me unique is the speed at which I can create these pieces. I'll put 35 swords together in a day for a film production. The most swords that I've made for a single production has probably gotta be "The Last Samurai." I made about 600 swords, predominantly aluminum weapons for the big battle scenes. But the crazy thing about that, I was working on both "Master and Commander" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" concurrently. So between those three productions, they did 1,000 swords.<br /><br /><strong>Joe:</strong> And with that, Tony's ability as a blacksmith, the speed, authenticity, and the detail with which he can create swords, is impossible to duplicate.<br /><br />Read the original article on <a href="https://www.insider.com/blacksmith-hollywood-making-swords-armor-2020-3">Insider</a>

That's a horrific $807 per-screen average.</p><p>The movie's performance would have been downplayed if Amazon (which released "Life Itself" without a co-distributor) had continued its model of <a href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/studio/chart/?view2=allmovies&amp;view=company&amp;studio=amazon.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">opening its movies in limited release.</a> But it chose this to be its first ever to open in wide release. Amazon made that decision even though it didn't do a big marketing push for the movie, its major talent that general audiences would recognize didn't do any press (like Isaac) or very limited (Wilde), and critics hated it. The movie has a <a href="https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/life_itself_2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">12% ranking on Rotten Tomatoes</a>. </p><p>"It really never had a chance, especially considering adult dramas need strong critical accolades to attract an audience these days," Jeff Bock, senior box-office analyst at Exhibitor Relations, told Business Insider. "And why would audiences pay for something they get for free? Audiences love Fogelman's 'This Is Us,' but aren't paying a dime for."</p><p>But BoxOfficeAnalyst.com's Doug Stone said going wide was the only move Amazon had.</p><p>"Following the critical reception, trying to build out a run from a limited start would have been near economic suicide," Stone told Business Insider.</p><p>With the crowded slate of films coming once the calendar hits October, which will be filled with award-season contenders at the art houses, and big blockbusters like "Venom" eating up multiplex screens, Stone noted that Amazon's only chance at making a buck was to go against form and open the movie wide from the start.</p><p>The general plan with limited released films is to start with a small number of theaters in major markets and feed off the per-screen average to get the movie in more theaters in the coming weeks.</p><p>But given the mixture of bad reviews for "Life Itself" matched with the much more enticing titles coming soon, it would have been extremely difficult to expand the release.</p><p>"It may have been in Amazon's best interest to strike the best deal with as many theaters as possible now rather than try to release a film that would likely fail on a roll out basis," Stone said.</p><p>But don't expect Amazon Studios to lick its wounds that long. By the end of October, it will be releasing two of the most anticipated movies of the fall: the Oscar-buzzing "Beautiful Boy" (October 12), starring Steve Carell and Timothée Chalamet, followed by Suspiria (October 26), a reboot of Dario Argento's classic 1977 horror movie.</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-actors-fake-fight-movies-2018-8">How actors fake fight in movies</a></h3>        <div>            <iframe class="bijwplayerclass" data-player="jwplayer" src="https://content.jwplatform.com/players/FYws3zf4-CEZHWCBG.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" style="margin:0px;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><script>function receiveMessage(event){ console.log(event.data.fullscreen); Android.fullscreen(event.data.fullscreen); }window.addEventListener("message", receiveMessage, false);</script>        </div>    </div>

He died at Roosevelt Hospital at the age of 40 after releasing his new album, "Double Fantasy." </p><h3 class="p2">Yoko Ono still lives in The Dakota and says she saw Lennon's ghost there. <br /><span class="s1"></span></h3><p class="p1">Ono and late husband Lennon moved into The Dakota in 1973. Ono stayed in the building after Lennon's death and, according to the New York Post's Page Six, saw her husband's ghost sitting at his white piano. She says he told her, <span>"Don't be afraid. I am still with you."</span></p><h3 class="p1">When he was alive, Lennon told Ono that he saw a "crying lady ghost" in the building. </h3><p class="p1">The Beatles musician told his wife he'd seen the ghost roaming the halls. </p><h3 class="p2">The building has no fire escapes.<br /><span class="s1"></span></h3><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Architect Henry J. Hardenbergh purposely avoided fire escapes by slathering mud from Central Park between the layers of brick flooring to fireproof and soundproof the building. </span></p><h3 class="p2">Tenants are "forbidden" to throw away original doors and fireplace mantels.<br /><span class="s1"></span></h3><p class="p1"><span class="s1">If tenants want to rid apartments of these items, there is a special storage area. </span></p><p class="p1"><span class="s1"><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/55ce1115371d22c6178be8ab-3408-2556/the_dakota_1890b.jpg" alt="The_Dakota_1890b" data-mce-source="Wikimedia Commons" /><p class="source"><span>Wikimedia Commons</span></p><p class="caption">The Dakota, circa 1890.</p></div><p></p></div></div></span></p><h3 class="p2">The original owner's former apartment has sterling silver floors.</h3><p class="p1"><span class="s1">Singer Sewing Machine Company founder Edward Clark commissioned The Dakota as a $1 million apartment building for 60 families, including his own. Unfortunately, Clark died in 1882, two years before the building was completed. </span></p><h3 class="p2">According to legend, it gets its name from its far-west location. </h3><p>The building was situated so far West, people liked to joke that it might as well have been built in the Dakotas. </p><h3>It's been a magnet for the rich and famous since it opened in 1884. </h3><p class="p1"><span class="s1">The building was reportedly fully rented before it even opened, thanks to a glowing New York Times review.

In fact, when he's been nominated for Oscars, he hasn't shown up to the ceremony. When asked, the publicist for his latest film,<span>"</span><a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2101383/?ref_=nm_flmg_wr_3" target="_blank">Knight of Cups</a><span>" (out Friday),</span> told Business Insider there's no photo of the filmmaker available for this story.</p><p>Given Malick's enigmatic persona, it would be fascinating to know if his filmmaking method is as&#xa0;unorthodox as his finished product.</p><p>As it turns out, Malick's process is even stranger than his movies.</p><p>We found out when we talked to actor&#xa0;<a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0502073/?ref_=tt_cl_t2" target="_blank">Thomas Lennon</a>, who has a brief cameo in Malick's "Knight of Cups" playing a friend of the main character&#xa0;(Christian Bale) as they walk around a Hollywood party. (Others in the scene include&#xa0;Antonio Banderas, Jason Clarke, Ryan O'Neal, Nick Kroll, and Joe Manganiello.)</p><h2><span>'No one knows anything about the movie'</span></h2><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/56d4907e6e97c660008ba686-1200-1978/thomas%20lennon%20kevin%20winter%20getty%20final.jpg" alt="Thomas Lennon Kevin Winter Getty final" data-mce-source="Kevin Winter/Getty"><p class="source"><span>Kevin Winter/Getty</span></p><p class="caption">Thomas Lennon as his Jim Dangle character in "Reno 911."</p></img></div><p></p></div></div>Lennon is known for his comedic work, like&#xa0;"Reno 911!," CBS' "The Odd Couple," or his scene-stealing in movies like&#xa0;"How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days," "Balls of Fury," and "I Love You, Man."<p>So he's not exactly the kind of actor you'd expect in a Malick film. In fact,&#xa0;the actor told Business Insider he had never seen a Malick film when he got the offer to be in "Kight of Cups" in April of 2012 (the movie has spent two-plus years in post-production, not uncommon for a Malick film).</p><p>"I got a call from my agent and he said, 'Do you know Terrence Malick?' And I decided I would try to be a smarty-pants and I said, 'Of course,' but I had never seen any of his films," Lennon told BI. "I was aware of his name like you're aware of names like Atom Egoyan or Ismail Merchant and James Ivory, artsy-fartsy films unlike the things I'm in or write."</p><p>But Lennon agreed to the role, without being given any details about who he was playing or what the movie was about.&#xa0;And six weeks before the scheduled shoot, Lennon still hadn't received anything and was starting to get anxious.</p><p>"I started making phone calls to people - 'Could you please find out what role I'm playing? Is there a wardrobe fitting?' And the answer I would get back from everyone is, 'No one knows anything about the movie,'" Lennon said.</p><p>Three&#xa0;days before the shoot, Lennon was finally told some information: The scene is at a Hollywood party, so he should be dressed as if he were going to a party in the Hollywood Hills.</p><p>"That's all I was told," Lennon said.</p><h2>No script, just a card with an inspirational phrase</h2><p>Lennon arrived to the set, a mansion in swanky Bel Air. By this point, he'd Googled Malick's picture.&#xa0;Lennon worked his way through the estate and found Christian&#xa0;Bale sitting with Malick by the pool.</p><p>"I could only assume it was Terrence Malick because he was the most eccentric-looking person there," Lennon said. "He's in this sort of straw hat, slightly dirty khaki pants, and a real loose, floppy shirt."</p><p>They exchanged pleasantries, and then Lennon's good friend, actor <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0516266/?ref_=nv_sr_1" target="_blank">Joe Lo Truglio</a>, showed&#xa0;up to also be in the scene.</p><p>"We're all standing there and Malick hands out these pieces of paper to all of us," Lennon said. "And the one he gave me said, 'There's no such thing as a fireproof wall.' And I ask, 'Is this something I'm supposed to say in the scene?' and he said, 'I don't know.'"</p><p>Lennon learned, after talking to the director, that there was no script, just a phrase that might inspire him when cameras started rolling.</p><p>"And then Malick goes, 'Would you like some more? Because I have a whole stack of these.' And I was like, 'I think I'm good,'" Lennon said.</p><p>Lennon later asked Bale while Malick was away:</p><p><strong>Lennon:</strong> "Is this how it goes?</p><p><strong>Bale:</strong> "Yeah."</p><p><strong>Lennon:</strong> "Every day?"</p><p><strong>Bale:</strong> "Yeah."</p><p><strong>Lennon:</strong> "How long have you been doing this?"</p><p><strong>Bale:</strong> "This is, like, day 25."</p><h2>11 hours of shooting for 1 minute of screen time</h2><p>When Malick came back, Lennon asked him what the scene was about. Malick started off by saying that in the movie,&#xa0;Bale plays a Hollywood screenwriter, and Lennon didn't need to hear anything else - he suddenly knew why he was there.</p><p>"I was cast as Christian [Bale]'s douchey Hollywood Hills friend. I realized if his character was a shallow Hollywood screenwriter, two of his really good friends probably would be Joe Lo Truglio and me," Lennon said.&#xa0;"Terrence Malick actually is a genius."</p><p>But it would take time for Lennon to grasp what the director wanted.&#xa0;He, Truglio, and Bale began walking around the mansion, improvising their lines. For 11 full&#xa0;hours. Keep in mind the party scene, in the finished film, lasts about five minutes, and Lennon has at most a minute of screen time.</p><p>"Sometimes we would go outside, where the party was growing with more people," Lennon said. "Sometimes Malick would stop and introduce a new cinematographer: 'Guys, this is Marta, she's an up-and-coming DP from Mexico City and she's going to film the scene for a while.' And sometimes Christian would take a GoPro and shoot something."</p><p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"><img src="https://static-ssl.businessinsider.com/image/56d4911d6e97c630008ba51b-5120-3840/thomas%20lennon%20broad%20green%20pictures.jpg" alt="Thomas Lennon Broad Green Pictures" data-mce-source="Broad Green Pictures"><p class="source"><span>Broad Green Pictures</span></p><p class="caption">Thomas Lennon in "Knight of Cups."</p></img></div><p></p></div></div>The actors were&#xa0;also strictly instructed, according to Lennon, to make it as difficult as possible for the camera operator to shoot them, never standing in a way that they were squared up with the camera.<p>At one point, Lennon says, Malick halted the scene and brought in a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon to star alongside them.</p><p>Lennon admits that for the first few hours, he was "unbelievably distressed."</p><p>"I would ask, 'Like that Terrence?' and he would be like, 'Great, it's all great.'"</p><h2>Filming Lennon's very real fight with his wife</h2><p>Then things got even weirder.</p><p>During a lunch break, Lennon was speaking to his wife over the phone offset. Since the shoot would likely last a full day, Lennon had to change plans with his family. He and his wife got into an argument over the phone.</p><p>"We were basically yelling at each other," Lennon said. "And at that point Malick himself came up to me with a camera with a stubby lens and got, I'm not kidding, eight inches away from my face, filming me having this totally real fight with my wife. At first I felt it was kind of an invasion of privacy and then I was like, 'F--- it, this is the realest thing that has happened all day.'"</p><h2>'An absolutely bats--- crazy day'</h2><p>Eventually Lennon finally got comfortable with the whole shoot, and it turned out to be, he said, "The single most fun day I've ever had on a movie set ever.</p><p>"What I realized was, Malick loves to be on his feet and just making movies," Lennon said. "I don't mean the editing, just the location, shooting a scene, and letting things happen. I mean, it was honestly an absolutely bats--- crazy day. But I would have instantly come back and done it another day if the opportunity came up."</p><p>Lennon said he got a big hug from Malick when the day wrapped.&#xa0;He still has no idea exactly why he was called for the part or if Malick has even seen his own work. Three years after shooting, he'll finally see himself in "Knight of Cups" when it's out this week.</p><p>"I'll be honest, until they asked me to do some press, I had no idea I was in the film at all," Lennon said with a laugh.</p><p><div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/bC-3rnv_b3o" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/jimmy-fallon-bernie-sanders-impression-tonight-show-2016-2">Watch Jimmy Fallon do a spot-on impersonation of Bernie Sanders on 'The Tonight Show' </a></h3>        <div>            <div>    <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/v3/6e12e8b3387a44daacfb73afba25a76e"></script>    <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NqMjV1MDE6CLKTl_ZnJRyJXOAcB8ks6V" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>    <script>    if (typeof RunFunctions === 'undefined') { var RunFunctions = []; }     RunFunctions.push(function()    {         var ooyalapopvideo = OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer_popvideo', 'NqMjV1MDE6CLKTl_ZnJRyJXOAcB8ks6V',{ autoplay: 'false' });     });    </script>    <noscript><div>Please enable Javascript to watch this video</div></noscript></div>        </div>        <script>(function() { function createPlayer() { OO.ready(function() { RunFunctions.forEach(function(ooyalaFunction) { ooyalaFunction(); }); RunFunctions = [];}); } createPlayer(); }()); </script>    </div>
