Honolulu-born actor Jason Momoa expressed his excitement for his Jason Momoa new movie, The Wrecking Crew, which was filmed in Hawaii. Speaking at a press event in London, where he was joined by co-star Dave Bautista and his girlfriend Adria Arjona, Momoa revealed that he keeps rewatching the film because of how much fun he had making it.
It’s definitely up there as one of the funnest films I’ve ever made in my life. And I had the time of my life, and I think I don’t watch the premieres over and over. I’ve seen this movie five times now, and I’m still laughing,
Momoa said.
I’m excited to watch it tonight. I’m going to watch it again, and I’m actually having a little private viewing for my kids because they’re very mad that it’s not playing in theaters,
he added.
Local Premiere Celebrates Hawaiian Cast and Setting
An exclusive premiere took place Monday night in Kapolei at Olino by Consolidated Theatres, showcasing The Wrecking Crew to local cast members and community residents who participated in the film. Many in attendance worked as stand-ins or background performers, portraying diverse characters such as businesspeople and homeless individuals, some sharing scenes directly with Momoa.
I was a stand-in for the movie as well as the houseless role,
one local cast member attending the event shared.
Another member of the cast, who also played a homeless character, described feeling nervous around Momoa during filming.
In my scene, I was this close to Jason Momoa,
she recalled.
