We know it now, Jenna Ortega had a lot to learn for Poster Wednesday, the latest hit from Netflix. From fencing in German to canoeing and cello, the young actor spared no effort.
During a Netflix Q&A in Hollywood last Thursday, Jenna Ortega explained how intense the filming schedule was for her:
“I would come two hours early, work 12-14 hours a day, go home, join the class on Zoom. Or when I got back to my apartment, the cello teacher was already waiting for me. It was endless. And if we didn’t shoot on the weekend, the sixth day of the week, it was, “Okay, then we’ll do your classes that day.”“.
According to the actor, he started fencing and cello lessons a few months before filming and continued during the eight months of filming in Romania. The cello sequence on the Rolling Stones’ “Paint it Black” was particularly difficult, as he had to change teachers when he went to Romania and learn to play a piece composed for two cellos.
I didn’t sleep. I pulled my hair out. There are so many FaceTime calls that my dad answered while I was crying hysterically.
It must be said that Jenna Ortega put pressure on herself not to disappoint the cellist viewers of the series, despite all the efforts of Tim Burton to calm her down: “Oh, don’t worry, you’ll be great. It will be awesome“, he said.
Using a liner
The star wanted to shoot as many scenes as possible, but as the shooting of the serial ended, time constraints hampered his plans. “We Time is up because Wednesday is almost in every sceneJenna Ortega explained.
“They had to start using stuntmen or sometimes a cello double, but I was very adamant about being as prepared as possible because I wanted them to be able to use me because it’s much more believable if you can also capture the player’s face. .“
On January 6, an official announcement was made that the series was renewed for a second season. Jenna Ortega said she has no idea what will happen in season two or when production will begin, but she said a writing team is in the process of being put together.
As for what she wants to see in Wednesday’s second season, the actress says she’d rather focus less on love triangles, which “It was a strange thing to judge“and rather”Focus on him and his experience“.
