"The first scene Linda Cardellini filmed with Jason Bateman on their HBO limited series “DTF: St. Louis” required her to place her weight on his face.
Reading the scene for the first time in the script was “nerve-wracking”: “How am I going to do these things?” she thought.
Cardellini credits the series’ intimacy coordinator with making a challenging, potentially uncomfortable shoot “comfortable” because it was “so structured.”
Cardellini sat down with Jamie Bell, Camila Morrone, Michael Peña, Andrew Rannells and Constance Zimmer for The Envelope Emmy Limited Series/TV Movie Roundtable, hosted by The Times’ Mark Olsen.
