Margot Robbie reveals police shut down the set of her movie Amsterdam

Margot Robbie has revealed that the set of her latest movie has been locked down by the police.

The Australian actress, 32, said production on her film Amsterdam was halted by California police after the crew continued to film after their license expired.

She explained on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that director David O. Russell and co-star Christian Bale worked so hard they forgot to stop.

“They are both so committed to this film and their craft that David never mentioned ‘cut’ in this film. So technically we never really stopped,” she said.

This caused them to work overtime and the local authorities were called upon to evacuate everyone.

Margot said, “It was the last day of shooting and Christian said his dialogue and David is there and he’s directing… but the license ran out.”

Fortunately, it happened on the last day of shooting, so the film was successfully completed.

Amsterdam is a historical comedy set in the 1930s and starring Anya Taylor-Joy, Christian Bale and Taylor Swift.

Margot was born in Dalby, Queensland, and later grew up on the Gold Coast.
