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.

Costume Concept Artist Oksana Talks Suicide Squad

Oksana Nedavniaya, Suicide Squad's costume concept artist, reveals she worked closely with Kate Hawley (the Squad's costume designer) to achieve the right "atmosphere" for the Suicide Squad movie:

For “Suicide Squad,” Nedavniaya discovered Hawley had gone through a great deal of research in preparing for the look of the costumes involved. Hawley had put together a number of mood and atmosphere boards that included beautiful drawings she created herself to communicate ideas and concepts.

“During the first stage for this film there was no cast set, but a general direction for the characters,” said Nedavniaya. “Kate is very much about creating a general mood or direction (with some of the costumes). We were very focused on creating an atmosphere.”
