While big-budget Hollywood blockbusters tend to keep audiences on the edge of their seats, actually making these mammoth productions can be a far less interesting experience.

“Very big studio pictures are tedious to make,” admits the actor, who played young Obi-Wan Kenobi in “The Phantom Menace”, “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”.
“If you’ve got 80 people in your crew, as opposed to two or three, suddenly you’re with all these massive f***ing egos walking around,” he adds.
“All that takes up time and money, which is why they take five months to shoot,” notes the star of the upcoming “Trainspotting” sequel. “Everyone’s quite happy if you come home having done a third of a scene. I can’t stand it. As a Scottish working man, I’m like, ‘F***ing get on with it.’”
