This weeks big Apple TV+ debut, The Studio, has impressed critics and already climbed to the #2 spot on Apples top charts, trailing only Severance. In a new interview, co-creator and star Seth Rogen reveals how the shows unique format was the perfect shield against unwanted notes from Apple execs.The Studio was shot entirely in oners, which helped fend off unwanted exec notesThe Studio centers around Rogens lead character, who was just appointed head of a film studio.One way the show heightens the stress and absurdity of its comedy is by being shot entirely in oners. Meaning, scenes are shot in continuous takes without cuts.Its a powerful artistic tool, but apparently it also helped Rogen and his creative team fend off unwanted notes from Apple TV+ studio execs.Ethan Shanfeld writes at Variety:In a sweet twist of irony, the series third episode harps on the loathsome concept of the studio note and the oners allowed Rogen to dodge Apples feedback almost entirely. Because of the way we shot it, essentially nothing could be done after the episode, Rogen says. Apple would give us notes, but the answer was always We cant do that. Can you take out this line? Nope. Could you go from this line to this line? Nope, we cant do any of that.No doubt shooting The Studio in oners was a monumental task for the creative team. Episode 2 gives us a fascinating peek into what that may have been like. But its kind of hilarious how the technique was also a clever way to fend off suggested changes from execs.Apple doubted The Studios ability to land celebrity cameosVarietys extensive interview with Rogen also includes this fun tidbit:With scripts including roles for Charlize Theron, Paul Dano and Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos and dozens more Apples main concern was that Rogen and Goldberg wouldnt be able to secure all the cameos written into their first drafts.Apple was very skeptical and worried, Rogen says. They said early on, You will never be able to get all the cameos you need to make this show. They could not have said it more definitively than that.Clearly, Rogen succeeded where Apple thought he would fail. And I imagine that when a potential season 2 rolls around, even more Hollywood talent may be eager to jump in and join the fun.Have you watched The Studio yet on Apple TV+? What are your thoughts?
