Long before Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Jon Hamm and Ellie Kemper also both bagged roles in Bridesmaids, with the former playing Annie’s sleazy booty call Ted and the latter a painfully naive newlywed Becca. Jon Hamm and Ellie Kemper arrive at the Bridesmaids premiere in Westwood, California in 2011. Jon Hamm was Ellie Kemper’s high school drama teacher. We're like, 'It's Lillian-she’s dead!' And then we were like, 'Oh wait-it's not Lillian.' And then we just keep running." But this darkly comic setup was deemed just a little too weird and was omitted from the final edit. “When we were running around to find Lillian, we were going to find a woman lying on the ground. Their original script also contained several more absurdist sequences, as the former told IndieWire in 2021. The addition of some puking and pooping wasn’t the only compromise that Wiig and Mumolo had to make. Bridesmaids was intended to be a lot weirder. "When people say, 'Oh, we're gonna give more female-cenetred movies a chance,' you’re not reading the fine print, which is, 'Oh, but, they have to be like this.' They want to see women acting like guys." 3. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, the actress admitted that all the gross-out humor had been added into the script by Apatow-much to her dismay. But writer Wiig, who also starred as Annie, absolutely detested it.
The scene where all but one of the bridal party succumb to violent vomiting and diarrhea is unarguably Bridesmaids’ most memorable. Kristen Wiig hated Bridesmaids’ most memorable scene.
After she and co-writer Annie Mumolo pitched the idea of Bridesmaids, Apatow agreed to produce and the rest is Hollywood history (although, as Wiig told The Wall Street Journal, it took five years to make the dream a reality). Not only did the comedy maestro want to put Wiig center stage in a movie, he wanted her to pen it, too. But director Judd Apatow was so bowled over by her improvisational skills playing Katherine Heigl’s petulant boss Jill that he made her the offer of a lifetime. Knocked Up was responsible for Bridesmaids’ conception.Ĭhances are you’ve forgotten that Kristen Wiig was even in Knocked Up.
BRIDESMAIDS MOVIE POOP SCENE FULL
A full decade on from its release, here’s a look at 20 facts you might not have known about the street-defecating, flight-disrupting, Wilson Phillips-reviving hit. Not only did the Kristen Wiig comedy silence any chauvinists who believed that men had the monopoly on laughs, its box office haul also spearheaded a wave of female-fronted comedies ranging from Bachelorette to Booksmart and turned Melissa McCarthy into a bankable leading lady (it also earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress). If Ellie Kemper's character is projectile vomiting in a pristine white office, there is no hiding it, and it could have easily crossed a line from "funny" to "nauseating."These are smart, funny women," read one of the poster quotes for Bridesmaids, as if such a concept had previously been unfathomable to Hollywood’s critical elite. While you know that obscene things are happening inside the toilet bowl and sink – as well as under Maya Rudolph's wedding dress – you really only see splashes of it (sorry). Gross as the whole sequence is, the majority of the nastiness is implied rather than shown. Reflecting on the scene as it exists in both the theatrical cut and unrated cut of Bridesmaids, it's understandable why Feig and those making calls in the editing room decided this idea was a bit extra. We immediately went, 'OK, I think that was too much.' the woman who owns the dress shop’s office, and projectile vomits across the office onto a picture of her wedding. There's one scene in particular after Ellie Kemper runs out of the bathroom after throwing up on Wendi's head where she realizes she has to throw up again and she thinks there's another bathroom at the end of the hallway and runs down, throws open the door to this very white office, which turns out to be. We shot a lot of stuff, some stuff we didn’t use. As Feig described, there was a particularly sick bit featuring Ellie Kemper that was discovered to be too much when the film started to come together: Thanks to the free-flowing atmosphere on the set of the movie that allowed for plenty of improvisation and new ideas, a lot more material was shot than was actually used in the theatrical version of the comedy – the food poisoning scene included. Paul Feig has in the recent past discussed the process of moderating the content of that incredible sequence, but during an interview with Yahoo! he revealed a specific moment that was left on the cutting room floor.
