  • Dan Stevens had to wear his motion capture suit that made him look like a gray marshmallow.

  • How Emma kept a straight face, the world will never know. Check it out.

  • - Dan was in a... (unintelligible) motion capture suit on stilts to make him as tall as the beast would be

  • so that Emma was always playing to somebody who was as big as the beast.

  • - STEVENS: Puppeteering the suit to the motion capture was an ordeal.

  • - DORSEY: And if you think Emma having to keep a straight face was the toughest part, think again.

  • - WATSON: It was literally me sitting at an empty table.

  • Seven days just looking at nothing.

  • It was the most boring scene I have ever had.
