Seth Rogen reveals The Interview used a real tiger because the CGI was too expensive, then the tiger wrangler started asking terrifying questions
I did a movie called The Interview about North Korea, and there’s a scene with a tiger.
I directed the movie with my partner, and we wrote this scene where there’s a tiger. I thought in my head it would be CG. Life of Pi had come out recently, and I was like, “We’ll get the Life of Pi tiger. Put us down for one Life of Pi.” They were like, “We can’t afford that at all. We’ve got to get a real tiger.”
I was like, “Oh God.” So we found a tiger wrangler in Calgary, and we had a call with him. It was so funny because he was the least confidence inspiring person you’ve ever spoken to in your entire life.
I asked, “Where’d you get the tiger?” He said, “From a stripper.”
We were like, “What?” He said, “She had a tiger cub as part of her act, and it got too big, so she had to get rid of it.” We asked, “Where does a stripper get a tiger?” He said, “It’s easier than you think. You could get one.”
We had sent him the script, and he said, “Let’s go over the scene. You’re not shooting this at night, are you?” I said, “Yeah, the scene is set at night.” He said, “Ooh.”
I asked, “Why is that bad?” He said, “Well, they hunt at night.”
He asked, “Can it be during the day?” We said, “No. Is that okay?” There was a long pause, and he said, “Yeah, it’s okay. I think it’s okay.”
Then he asked, “It won’t be in a big open area, will it?” We said, “Yeah, it’s basically a giant meadow.”
He said, “Ooh.” We asked, “Is that bad?” He said, “Well, if there’s a deer or something, they will go after it.”
We said, “That’s bad. Should we not do this?” He said, “No, it’s fine.” Then he asked, “It won’t be raining, will it?” We said, “Yeah. We’re filming in Vancouver in the winter. It will be raining.” He said, “Oh, that’s not good.” We asked, “Why?” He said, “The rain really agitates them. They just don’t like the rain.” We asked, “Should we not do it?” He said, “No, it’s fine. It’ll be fine.”
The ultimate compliment you can pay an athlete, is the minute they join a team — rival fans suddenly have strong opinions. That emotion is called FEAR. #SixersInFive
@ah_pod Ice cold bats until for another 3 games or so then a switch flips and we look like the best team in the NL for most of August until we hit our 2 week cold spell offensively going into September. This team trends the same way every single year
Maxey is one of the best off ball players in the NBA. Not sure where the narrative is coming from that he needs the ball. He’s been slightly miscast being on-ball all the time due to how talented he is. Going to be an efficiency bomb playing off LeBron and zooming in transition
It's sad to say but finding out LeBron signed with the Sixers is probably the same kind of dopamine hit you would get from winning a championship but imagine if the championship just hit you out of nowhere on a random Friday afternoon in the summer.
