TV.com Sits Down With Jon Bernthal

TV.com has posted up an interview with Jon Bernthal on their site. And while he doesn’t give us anything new he does elaborate a bit on what we already know, he also talks about the difference between the difference between the Shane in the comic and the TV Show:

How’s filming for the second season coming along?
We start in a couple of months. They’ve got to wait to make sure that Atlanta is so hot that we’ll have sweat literally pouring off of us every single take. We’re not starting until it gets to absolute hottest part of the year.

Sounds lovely! Have you seen the scripts yet?
No, I haven’t, I think they’re in the process of being written right now. Each of the actors was invited into the writers’ room though. It really speaks to the collaborative nature of this show that actors are being invited into a writers’ room. It’s an open, special environment that these guys have created.

So I do have an idea of some of the things that are going to go down in season two. But no scripts have been written yet.

There’s been a big overhaul in the writing team since season one. Has that had much of an effect on the shows production and the atmosphere between you all?
No, not really. I think everybody who works on this show is incredibly talented and incredibly driven. The writers were really kept separate from us last year; we were in Atlanta and they were here [in LA].

This is really Frank’s project, I think there are a lot of unbelievable collaborators that work on this but at the end of the day Frank oversaw and continues to oversee every single word that is uttered on screen. And, you know, we were really not privy to any of those decisions. I don’t even know what the truth is. I would be really out of turn to speak on it.

One thing everybody should know is that, as genius a writer and director Frank is, and as great as an artist he is, he’s equally that great as a human being. He’s as kind and as humane a person as I’ve ever met. And I know that if any decisions were made, they were made with utter graciousness. Some of the stuff that came out in the press, that people were fired and this and that, I just don’t believe it. I don’t believe that that’s how this went down.  There are new writers, I have met some of them and they’re all great. They’re super jazzed to get going. And I think that’s really exciting stuff.
