Willem Dafoe keeps it realistic in his acting. So real, in fact, that he had her practice on him 20 times when a scene called for a slap from costar Emma Stone. What is even more surprising is that the beating in the film takes place off-camera.

Dafoe told the Times that he wanted the storyline to be more believable. Ergo the reason for the repeated hits.
Stone spoke admiringly of the scene to the Times.
“A lot of actors have an instinct to act – the ‘Look at me, look at me!’ Kind of an artist,” Stone said. “He’s the opposite of that.”
details about what And what it is about has not yet been announced. The film also stars Jesse Plemons, Joe Alwyn, Margaret Qualley and Hong Chau.
