At a press conference, the protagonist of the new great success of Netflix confessed that she did not have a good time during the filming of her first scene
It seems that Netflix got what it was looking for with the premiere of Don't look up, the new great success of the streaming platform that divides waters and has a cast full of stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill, among other Hollywood figures.
The film held first place in the ranking of Argentina for several days and is one of the hottest topics of conversation on social networks. In the last few hours, Lawrence's statements at a press conference drew attention. The artist, who in this film plays the astronomer Kate Dibiasky, revealed that the first day of filming was the "worst" of her life. “It was creepy,” she assured.
The 31-year-old actress had to memorize and do her own rendition of the song "Ai n't Nuthing ta F' Wit," the classic by New York rap band Wu-Tang Clan, while she ate toast. "Something happened with the coronavirus, so that ended up being my first scene," she explained. The studio was packed and she was on a mission to break the ice with a complex challenge.
"It was creepy," said the actress. I didn't know anyone and had to rap like the Wu-Tang Clan. It was horrible. And then what appears in the film is like, I don't know, five seconds. I wish I had known earlier."
Adam McKay, the film's writer-director, interrupted the story to tell Jennifer that she had done a good job. “Hey, I knew my homework. I knew all the words, I still do,” she replied defiantly, and without too much hesitation, she proved once again that she wouldn't do too badly with rap.
However, that wasn't the only obstacle for Lawrence while filming Don't Look Up. "Well, I lost a tooth early in the shoot," the actress told the Associated Press. “And I didn't get to go to the dentist until the end of the movie, so I had to shoot most of it without the tooth. That was my personal challenge,” she assured.
Don't Look Up (Don't Look Up, its original title) tells the story of Kate Dibiasky (Lawrence), a graduate student, and her professor, Dr. Randall Mindy (DiCaprio), two rather mediocre astronomers who discover something catastrophic: In a few months, a meteorite will destroy the planet Earth. From that moment, they decide to take the information of their discovery to the authorities, but nobody acknowledges receipt. For this reason, together with Dr. Oglethorpe (Rob Morgan), they try to go to the media to warn humanity of the danger that lies ahead.
Criticism is divided. For some it is a true masterpiece of black comedy, while for others the weak plot is saved only by the cast. In Argentina, the film was first released in theaters, on December 9. But since it arrived on Netflix on Christmas night, it has become the most watched, followed closely by the second seasons of The queen of flow, Emily in Paris and The Witcher.
