\u201cWe\u2019re shooting a fantasy sequence,\u201d Penn, 38, explained in an excerpt from the book, which was published by Vulture<\/a> on Sept. 25, \u201cand as a stylistic choice, one that makes a lot of sense, the director has chosen to place the camera directly in front of my face.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n
