Ninety percent of my stuff is with them.

And it certainly wasnt about, Oh we have to start again and do it all over.'

Obviously, it was a surprise, says Newton of the switch.

I love Phil and Chris everybody loves Phil and Chris theyre so brilliant.

Ron and the guys were talking to each other.

Its a massive piece.

We see so often now there are two directors working on pictures.

We already had two with Phil and Chris.

I really like Ron though, hes very sweet.

And [the film is] dope; its so cool!
