Yet another actor from Spike Jonze’s “Where The Wild Things Are,” adaptation has no clue about the status of the film, but claims she also had a blast making the movie. “I’ve been having screaming matches with [co-star] James Gandolfini. It’s part of the gig … I play one of the monsters. And we throw Nerf footballs at each other. You know, they’re wild so they’re throwing stuff, and we’re throwing foam to get into the physicality of what the character is doing,” said red-haired Lauren Ambrose (of “Six Feet Under”; given the fact that she replaced our Brooklyn crush Michelle Williams on this film, she better be fucking good).
Wait, “I’ve been having”? Does this mean she’s been part of the recently reported reshoots or is she talking about the principal cast photography that was shot years ago? Nobody answers our questions ever.
Ambrose said she voices an “eight-foot-tall Neanderthal” that looks just like her. “It’s uncanny.” We’re pretty sure she means the character Tzippy.
About all the alleged problems on the production, including rewrites, reshoots and specious claims about replacing directors and whatnot? “I don’t know anything about that. It’s going to be super rad,” she twirled. Gee, thanks for the update. Previously, ‘Wild Things’ voice actors Catherine O’Hara, Forrest Whitaker and Tom Noonan also knew jackshit about the film’s reported problems, but echoed the sentiment of having a great ol’ time.
