Bradley Cooper reprising his role as Ben, shot all his scenes in one day. Initially, Cooper wasn't able to fly to the set in Los Angeles, due to commitments with a Broadway play. The filmmakers then opted to shoot his scenes in New York until Cooper was nominated at the 87th Annual Academy Awards, prompting his trip to Los Angeles. The plan was revamped to shoot Cooper's scenes in a single day, which was the last day of the show's production on February 26, 2015.
