Mon avis sur “SCARY MOVIE 6”
C’est complètement débile, ça n’a ni queue ni tête, et chaque scène essaie de surpasser la précédente dans l’absurde. Bref, c’est EXACTEMENT ce qu’on aime voir dans la saga.
C’était sympa de revoir la bande, et j’ai capté toutes les refs haha.
Anne Hathaway turned down the bigger role in Brokeback Mountain on purpose. She fought for the smaller one. There was a single scene in it that she needed Meryl Streep to watch. And Streep wasn't even in that movie.
Streep was attached to The Devil Wears Prada. Anne wasn't on the studio's list. She was the Princess Diaries girl. Fox wanted Rachel McAdams.
Fox offered McAdams the role three times. She said no every time. McAdams had just done Mean Girls and The Notebook back to back. She wanted out of big Hollywood for a while. She told Elle in 2007: "I'm not going to make movies just to make movies."
So Fox went down the list. Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes, Juliette Lewis. Dozens of others auditioned. Anne was choice number nine.
Her problem was the Princess Diaries. People who ran Hollywood looked at her and saw a kids' movie face. They needed someone tough enough to play a New York journalist getting yelled at all day by a fashion editor.
Anne fixed this herself. When Brokeback Mountain was casting, they offered her Alma, the bigger of the two wife roles. (Michelle Williams ended up playing Alma.) Anne turned it down. She told the casting team she wanted the smaller part of Lureen, Jack Twist's Texas wife. "Just trust me," she said.
Lureen had one scene that mattered. She gets a phone call. She has to tell the man on the other end that her husband is dead.
That was the audition. Director Ang Lee showed Meryl Streep that scene privately, before the movie came out. Streep watched, met Anne in person, then called Tom Rothman, who ran Fox at the time, and said: "Yeah, this girl's great, and I think we'll work well together."
Anne kept pushing. She went into Fox executive Carla Hacken's zen garden and wrote "hire me" in the sand with her finger.
She was at home putting on a shirt with friends over when her agent called. She ran half-dressed into the living room screaming.
The movie came out June 30, 2006. It cost $35 million to make and earned $326 million worldwide, almost ten times its budget. Streep got an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe. Anne won her own Oscar seven years later for Les Misérables. The sequel opened in theaters yesterday, twenty years after the first one.
Anne later said she didn't have to audition for The Devil Wears Prada. She just had to be patient. Patient meant getting cast in a movie she'd never auditioned for, by a star who picked her based on a film that hadn't come out yet.
A mí me encanta mi trabajo y agradezco todos los días por él, pero también estoy preparado para ganarme 20 mil millones de pesos en una lotería y no volver a pisar una oficina mas nunca en la vida.
When Meryl Streep was 56, Fox offered her $2 million for The Devil Wears Prada. She said no and asked for $4 million. The studio said yes the same day, no haggling. They had no choice. Without her, there was no movie.
The film cost about $40 million to make. It earned $326 million at the box office. The extra $2 million was nothing compared to what the movie made. Fox knew the film didn't work without her, so paying her was a no-brainer.
Anne Hathaway, who played the main character, got paid $1 million for the same movie. It was the first million-dollar paycheck of her career. Streep made four times that for playing her boss.
By that point, Streep had been acting for decades. She'd never asked for more money before. She thought she was about to retire. Her own words on what Fox first offered her: "Slightly, if not insulting, not perhaps reflective of my actual value to the project."
Prada was the start of her biggest run yet. Mamma Mia in 2008 grossed $610 million. The biggest hit of her life. It's Complicated did $219 million the year after. The Iron Lady won her a third Oscar in 2012, at age 62. Doubt, Julie & Julia, Into the Woods, The Post, Little Women all came after Prada. Add up every Streep film and you get more than $4.5 billion at the box office. Twenty-one Oscar nominations now, more than any actor in Oscar history.
What went viral from the Today interview was something she said in passing: "They needed me, I felt." The studio agreeing right away proved she was right.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 hits theaters tomorrow. It's tracking to open at around $175 million globally. Streep is 76 now. Twenty years later, she still hasn't retired.
