Margot Robbie Talks About Harley Quinn

Margot Robbie answered 13 of IMDB's questions in an interview that highlighted her experience on set as well as her take on Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movie.
How wild are the scenes between Harley and the Joker? How would you characterize them?
Pretty wild. Crazy. I've never seen scenes like it before, personally. It's next level. People better brace themselves. It's weird. They're a fascinating couple. Honestly, I find their stuff the most exciting out of everything. I'd watch a dialogue scene between them over, like, buildings blowing up and guns, which I love as well. But when they are just together or when they find someone that they wanna pick on, it's scary. Yeah, they're messed up.

Adam Beach talks Suicide Squad in New Interview

Ramascreen.com has shared a new interview with Adam Beach in which he discusses his role of Slipknot in Suicide Squad.

When asked how faithful his version of Slipknot is to the one in the comics he said:

"My version is basically a guy who's just pissed off to be there, he's an angry boy. But ya know, he's like everybody else, he is a hired mercenary, assassin killer, so you know that paying the right money and he'll get the job done. And as long as I kept that nature about him that he can in any minute hang you with his ropes or stab you in the back, he is as worse as the Joker and Deadshot and Harley Quinn, that's the beauty of it. We all filled the shoes of these villainous characters that are hired killers and now we're asked to go and save the day in some shape or som form. How do you contain that?! Do you know what I mean?"
When asked about his costume he said:

"No, not in spandex. I'm kind of in this heavy rope gear. I'm basically like if shit happens, I'm like the escape plan, I'l get everybody out of there. Everybody has their skills." 

Slipknot was created by Joey Cavalieri, Gerry Conway and artist Rafael Kayanan and this DC villain first appeared in the comic book "Fury of Firestorm #28" (October 1984), one of his skills is the mastery of ropes. When I asked Adam Beach how those skills come into play in the film and what he went through for training...

 Adam: "When you researched the villains in the DC comics everybody's been through the assassin's drill of training to kill. My skill is the ropes. Give mea  rope and I can fight with it, I can tie you up. They were teaching me a move where if you try to throw a punch, I can use a rope to grab that punch, put the rope around your neck and just drop my weight and it snaps your neck. There's a lot of martial art skills you can use with the rope and it was pretty cool, man! And I taught my daughter how to use certain movies with ropes so if I reach out to grab my daughter, who's seven years old, she can trap my fists and spin me around and I can't move (laugh)"
Keep in mind that the actors involved with "Suicide Squad" aren't allowed to reveal too much about the film, WB wants to keep the plot and its secrets intact, but if you think that you're going to end up rooting for these bad guys, Adam Beach said to me that more than that, we the fans will end up wanting to see these guys fight. 
Adam: Basically it's kind of like you wanted to see these skills, so you're rooting for them to start fighting, so it's kinda like you get to see everybody's technique and there's where you'e like 'O, my God! This is crazy!' But you know, you don't get to know a lot about the film because we're all on a secret pact not to tell anybody about the movie, you have to watch it and then walk away going, 'Yup, that was damn good!'"
Well, we've still got a long ways to go till August 5, 2016 when the movie finally arrives.

Adewale Talks Suicide Squad Cast



In an interview with The Hollywood reporter, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje mentioned what it was like working with his fellow Suicide Squad cast mates:
 When we got to the film, we were already a squad. We partied together, we ate together, we worked out together. What you’ll see in the movie, the relationships are very organic, and that’s David’s process. He wanted a real team of people that he handpicked to get along. It brought us together as a unit.

VIDEO: Suicide Squad Producer Aims for PG-13 Rating


Charles Roven, one of the producers for Suicide Squad, recently talked with Collider regarding David Ayer, Suicide Squad's possible PG-13 rating, and the environment on set with the actors.

"...We're not dealing in absolutes because, while this is business, it's also a creative endeavor and so you want to leave yourself open to changing your mind, doing something different, being inspired... that's the whole process of filming, is you have to allow for inspiration as well as having a road map for what you're gonna do. So our plan right now is to make all these films PG-13. In some cases, you know, right there on the edge of PG-13, but still PG-13."

VIDEO: Will Smith Mentions Suicide Squad on Beats 1


Will Smith spoke to Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio to talk about his new musical endeavors. Will also mentioned working on the Suicide Squad movie and how it felt to work with Jared Leto:

Will: ...I feel like as an artist I've had more options than I've ever had. I can do more things, I can still do an action movie, I got the Suicide Squad-

Zane: Yeah, it looks ridiculous.

Will: Oh man, that thing is insane.

Zane: Yo, I mean, Jared's a buddy. I mean, we know what Jared's like as a person. Maybe you don't, maybe you only know the Joker.

WIll: How about this: I've never actually met Jared Leto. Right? So we worked together for six months and we've never exchanged a word outside of "action" and "cut". We've never said "Hello" we've never said "Good day", I've only ever spoken to him as Deadshot and him as the Joker. I literally have not met him yet. Right? So the first time I see him will be "Hey Jared, what's up?" "Will, hey man, how you doing? Nice to meet you." Never, no not a single word exchanged off camera. He was all in on the Joker.

INTERVIEW: Viola Davis Talks About Suicide Squad


Viola was recently interviewed by Deadline regarding How To Get Away With Murder. She was then asked about Suicide Squad, to which she responded:

I have one more day, which I’m flying out for this weekend. I’ve been working on the film since April 1st. It sounds like a lot, but I haven’t been working every day. I haven’t done a lot of comic book movies, actually I’ve done none! DC Comics have a tendency to have darker characters. You know, Batman is a darker character, Harley Quinn, the Joker, and what David Ayer has managed to do is humanize them. I think that you see it in the trailer too–just something different about it that makes you lean in. What he’s explored is the pathology behind all of these characters, so you just get that extra spin that gives you the flavor and a look which is very different. And at the same time you get all the stuff that you’ve gotten before, which is the action, the special effects, the great makeup. I’m blown away by the movie. Once I saw the trailer, I was like, “Oh, my God. He really is a magician.” I mean, I had no idea. So, it’s been a real pleasure working on it with David Ayer.
