It seems that netizens have found a flaw in Tim Burton’s new series “Wednesday”, which breaks all the viewing records on Netflix. The other day, the lead actress, 20-year-old Jenna Ortega, in a dialogue with the NME, admitted that she was filming one of the key scenes of the project with symptoms of COVID-19.
I choreographed it myself,” Jenna said, referring to Wednesday’s dance to The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck,” a fast-growing social media trend. – I got the song about a week before filming and just got the best out of myself… It’s crazy because it was my first day with COVID-19 and filming was awful.
In addition, Jenna described in detail her condition on the first day of her illness.
I woke up and my whole body hurt – it’s strange, because I never get sick, and when I get sick, it’s not very hard, – the actress added. “I felt like I had been hit by a car and had a little goblin scratching in my throat. I asked to shoot the scene another day, but we didn’t have time. I think probably then I could have played much better.
The production company MGM stated “that all protocols for combating COVID-19 were followed, and as soon as Jenna received a positive test, she was removed from the set.” Despite this, the show inevitably faced public criticism. Some fans support Jenna, suggesting that she could not influence the situation in any way and felt obliged to work further.
It’s bad, right? We all agree that this is some kind of work through force. Logical question: why the hell wasn’t she sent home? She could become terribly ill or infect others. She was waiting for a test result during filming, and it came out positive, so she still had to self-isolate while waiting. The artistic vision of Tim Burton at the cost of human lives, writes a user under the nickname @LilySimpson1312.
Other fans, in turn, condemn the actress.
Yes, it’s very bad. It was a dangerous, unethical and extremely selfish act, both on her part and on the part of the directors and producers. It is impossible to promote an actress who knowingly exposes hundreds of actors and crew to the risk of contracting COVID-19, outraged @CarrieCnh12.
Recall that the premiere of “Wednesday” (the spin-off of “The Addams Family”) took place on Netflix on November 23. The plot of the show revolves around the daughter of Gomez and Morticia Addams, who is forced to settle into a new school. However, Wednesday ends up in an unusual educational institution: vampires, werewolves and serens study here, and strange and terrible things happen in the neighboring town.
Recall that the Addams Family was created by American artist Charles Addams in 1938 for newspaper comics. The Grim Family has been a source of inspiration for filmmakers over the years. Between 1964 and 1966, the Addams series was aired on ABC, and in 1991, the most famous film directed by Barry Sonnenfeld (with Christina Ricci as Wednesday) was released, which subsequently made them cult characters. In 1993, he filmed a sequel called The Addams Family Values, and in 2010, a musical based on the films was staged on Broadway and two animated films were presented.
