'Hammer Down' Is a Trucker Movie With Superhero Spirit

When Chris Sullivan showed up to his first day on Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, he was prepared to play Taserface, a badass but humorous alien. He was prepared to be wowed by the sets and by the artistry. But he left work that day with something he wasn't prepared for: an offer for an entirely different project that would take him to the deserts of California. That surprise offer came courtesy of Simon Hatt, a young Guardians producer who spent the day showing Sullivan around Atlanta's Pinewood Studios, taking the actor through sets and costumes. The pair hit it off immediately, with Sullivan feeding off of Hatt's enthusiasm and sense of wonder for the moviemaking process.
