The conversation through the door between Pat and Darcy (Stewart) was shot with two cameras, one on either side, to fully capture both actors, but Saulnier knew he'd hardly be using any of footage of Stewart. He wanted character to trump Stewart's star power, but more than that he wanted the weight of the character to be seen and felt through the band members. See more »

When Tiger plays a vinyl LP on a phonograph in Tad's apartment, he cues the record to the beginning, but the song that plays first is Track 7 of Side 1 of that album. Later, in a shot of the vinyl disc spinning silently with the needle all the way over to the disc's label, you can see that the disc has 5 medium length tracks, but the album supposedly played has 8 short songs on both sides. Though to be honest, we have no way of knowing how many records they played after the first one. See more »

Don't let ANYONE spoil you ANYTHING about the film.
Don't see the trailer when it comes out.
Avoid clips and any promo materials they may release in the future.
Go in knowing as little as possible.
Just know that watching Green Room is like getting a shot of adrenaline that doesn't let up until the very end.
It's fantastic, tense, and entertaining.
Take my word for it.
But also...
Don't get too caught up in the hype.
See the film when it comes out.
You'll be glad you did.
P.S. Jeremy Saulnier is definitely someone to look out for.
