Couple highlights:

• I'd worked with a great writer, Carl Jones, on The Boondocks and together we came up with this idea that Pain loved. 
• I flew down to Miami, where Pain was recording in one room and Wayne in the next. I got there around ten. Then around four, Wayne showed up in a Bugate that he'd just bought that day. I finally got a chance to sit down with him and go over the whole thing. We were at a studio. There was a mic right there. His engineer was lined up. And he looked at me and said, "I got you... But not right now." He said it again. "I got you." He just wasn't feeling it right then. A few weeks later we're freaking out. We're gonna have to cut the scene, when out of nowhere we get an email with an audio attachment. Wayne had recorded it at, I don't know, 5AM, God knows where and it was done. No direction. No one in the room. And it was perfect.

Don't know about you guys, but the fact that Wayne recorded his lines entirely without voice direction and all that makes me even more excited for this.

That is pretty cool. I love to see how things like that turn out.
