Crucially, a key piece of doggy dream casting fell through.
But Jumpy was pretty booked.
So we couldnt get Jumpy.
I didnt put in enough time and research.
I dont care what.
Im going to figure this out.
A dog fight was indeed written into the script.
A leaner, meaner version of a German Shephard.
Throughout it all, utmost care was taken to ensure both dogs physical and emotional safety.
The dog has mentally gone to a place of life and death.
Im going to kill.
Its very violent and emotionally draining for the animal.
You see the guy sticking his arm way out that wasnt going to work for us.
You dont want to hurt the animal, Stahelski continues.
You dont want to hurt their teeth.
You dont want to freak them out and stress the animal.
You want it to be fun for them.
Some days it was just playing catch with them.
Other days it was full rehearsals.
Some days it was just feeding them.
Just letting the dogs know, This is the Alpha.
She is the one giving them commands.
But of course, nothing goes as planned.
We ended up hiring, Im not shitting you, 30 cat wranglers, Stahelski says.
We built these little kitty condos to house several hundred cats for the night.
Wed shut the doors and just feed them.
It begged one last question: is dog dick-chomping a real thing?
We love crotch biting, says Stahelski, breaking into a wide smile.
He adds: I mean, if you were a dog, where would you bite?
