'Suicide Squad' News: Studio Hires On-Set Therapist for Actors

In case you were doubting the realism of David Ayer's 'Suicide Squad,' Adam Beach has come to reassure you that things are about to get really real.

According to a recent interview with Beach, the actor that plays Slipknot in the film, Ayer is taking great measures to make sure the actors produce the most integrated performances their capable of. He even makes mention of a on set therapist that the director has called on to make sure the talents stay "grounded."

"David Ayer is about realism," Beach told E! Online. "So if your character is tormented, he wants you to torment yourself. He wants the real thing. We kind of have like a therapist on board if you fall off the wagon and really are villainous. There's a friend of [Ayer's] that's very unique in making sure we have our ground. Us actors explore very fine thin lines going to the dark side and he wants to make sure we finish a movie and don't disappear somewhere and then don't show up for work."

Ayer has been a master at bringing out very authentic roles in his movies, and it appears that despite 'Suicide Squad' being a comic book adaptation, the director intends to make things as real as possible.

This "life-coach" could also prove to be more necessary than Ayer may have believed after hearing about Leto's Joker-ish antics on set.

"He sent [Margot Robbie] a nice love letter with a black box with a rat in it-a live rat," Adam Beach said in a previous E! interview. "It was beautiful. Then he sent bullets to Will [Smith] with a letter."

'Suicide Squad' plans to arrive in theaters on August 5, 2016, hopefully with all their actors in a secure mental state.
