He wanted to shoot in San Fran. He loves San Fran. He couldn't afford to shoot there, for whatever reason. As mentioned above, he apparently owns a bldg there and could shoot, but I suppose he must've thought (HOLD ON I'M GOING TO TRY AND RATIONALIZE TOMMY WISEAU FOR A SEC) if he couldn't shoot all of it there why shoot any of it? So he green screened the rooftop scenes so that they were San Fran. The same exact shots of San Fran, FYI. So throughout this film when we see the sky it's the same weather outside. I just want to add that doing a green screen thing is actually pretty cheap and simple to do, so I see no reason why Wiseau wouldn't do it. Heh, there's literally a moment in the new trailer that addresses.....this subject, though not the rooftop green screen. His quick answer makes perfect sense, somehow.

Someone winning an Oscar for playing Tommy Wiseau absolutely needs to be something that happens. And Tommy bett r be in the audience when it happens. This would crash the internet, even moreso if Denny and Chris-R were sitting behind him.

I'm actually impressed by how much Franco's disappearing into the character of Wiseau. Him playing Tommy seemed gimmicky when I heard about it, and dodgy when I saw the teaser some months back, but the guy appears to be nailing it.

I just want to add that doing a green screen thing is actually pretty cheap and simple to do, so I see no reason why Wiseau wouldn't do it. Literally it is just subtracting the color from the frame and putting something else in its place. If you're already editing a movie, any editing software will do it. A part of that was that they used a fake rooftop set. They built it twice too if I'm not mistaken. So it was building a fake rooftop when Tommy literally had easy access to one, which was where they shot the San Francisco footage for the green screen anyway. Really, a major part of the production was any way Tommy could have saved money, he didn't. He bought all his equipment instead of renting it like normal. He had sets built when he could have used real locations. Seeing this new trailer makes me so much more excited for this movie. Some of the obvious changes I don't even mind.

As someone who read the book I have no idea where they seem to be going with the potential of Alison Brie's character making Tommy jealous of Greg since nothing close to that happened in the book. But otherwise it looks like something I need to see.

Four things:
1. Nathan Fielder is playing Kyle Vogt/Peter, and that's amazing, 2. I was going to say that Oscars doesn't generally give out awards for comedies, but after watching the trailer, I'm getting a very Boogie Nights vibe off of it, 3. Everyone from How Did This Get Made have a role in the movie, and that's even more amazing, 4. Can I please have this movie now please?

Chris-R should start a series of YouTube videos where he asks various douchebag celebrities for his money.
"Where's my money, Shia LaBoeuf???"

I definitely want to see this if I get the chance. Might end up doing it directly before Star Wars if the scheduling lines up right for it.
