A curious fact about ‘Wandinha’ has caught the attention of the public and it has been confirmed by Netflix. Actress Jenna Ortega doesn’t seem to blink in any scene of the production.
She was ordered not to blink at the series after she impressed director Tim Burton in an early job, when she took a long take without blinking. Burton loved the effect on her and suggested she never blink again in any scene.
In a Twitter post, Netflix revealed that the sequence that impressed Burton was Wandinha’s first meeting with Tyler (Hunter Doohan) at a restaurant.
The actress’ success has added a new trait to Wandinha, joining Jenna Ortega’s other efforts to bring the role to life, as the actress has taken lessons in cello, fencing, archery, canoeing, German and even has choreographed your own dance scene.
Audiences approved of all these accomplishments and turned “Wandinha” into the most-watched debut in Netflix history, amassing a staggering 341 million hours watched in its first week (actually, first five days) of showing.
In terms of weekly hours, ‘Wandinha’ was second only to the South Korean hit ‘Round 6’, which had an audience of 571 million hours in one week. However, these numbers did not happen at the debut of the worldwide phenomenon.
With the feat, “Wandinha” can already be considered renewed for its second season, it only remains to be defined whether Tim Burton will continue to direct the sequel episodes.
After rehearsing a take in which she didn’t blink, Tim Burton was so enamored with the result that he told Jenna Ortega not to blink again during Wednesday’s replay. So he didn’t. pic.twitter.com/h5Ver9oozC
