‘And my first scene was entering [DCU Center in Worcester] full of 20K people as the president, my big face on the jumbotron in front of me, and I just like completely lost it, I couldn’t remember anything. But I’m sure it’ll be fine in the edit.’
Meryl continued: ‘There weren’t 20K people obviously…They’ll duplicate them [digitally in post]. There were extras all around the stadium. Lonely people separated by 20ft of air, wearing masks, and visors that are clear.
‘So they’re meant to have a big huzzah and make a big noise, but it sounds [muffled]. And the whole thing’s so eerie and odd and disconcerting.’
