Actress Anna Kendrick (“Pitch Perfect”) was trapped in an elevator last Sunday (9/11) while attending the Toronto International Film Festival. The fact was shared by Kendrick herself on her Instagram.
“Ah, the classic excuse: ‘I’m late for this film festival because I had to be rescued from an elevator’ # TIFF22,” joked the actress in her post, where she and other people trapped in the elevator can be seen. .
In the video, Kendrick jokes that the water needs to be stored because they don’t know how long they will stay there. In a subsequent interview, the actress talked about her sense of humor in the face of the situation.
“I couldn’t stop making jokes. Even though maybe it’s a defense mechanism,” he said.
Eventually, a group of firefighters arrived at the scene and helped people out of the hatch on the roof of the elevator, which was standing between two floors.
Even as she was rescued, Kendrick continued to joke, thanking her for wearing a long dress as she was lifted up to the elevator ceiling.
“I went out. Some lovely Canadian firefighters made me crawl out the hatch,” recalled the actress. “But yeah, there were like seven of us in an elevator waiting to be rescued by the fire brigade. It was so absurd for this to happen at a film festival that it all immediately felt comical.”
Kendrick is at the Toronto Film Festival to promote his new work, “Alice, Darling”, which is not funny at all: the film tells the story of a woman trapped but in an abusive relationship.
The independent production is the first feature film directed by Mary Nighy, director of series such as “Industry” and “Silent Witness”, and does not yet have a commercial preview date.
