Elizabeth Banks reveals which CocaineBear cast members were 'super easy' to get and which ones needed a little reassurance.
Cocaine Bear is hitting theaters this weekend, and the movie's wacky title has already earned it a lot of attention. Director Elizabeth Banks has joked that the movie could be a"career-ender," but she still managed to score some big names for the project. The film is set to star Keri Russell , Margo Martindale , Ray Liotta , Alden Ehrenreich , O'Shea Jackson Jr.
"It's super easy with Jessie," Banks shared with a laugh ."And Margo was like, 'I want to come. I think it's gonna be really fun. But this really seems insane.'" Banks explained that Martindale was worried about performing the stunts, but she assured the Emmy-winning actor that they would make it look real without putting her in danger."I get it. She's 70 years old," Banks explained."She's not a stunt woman and it's really physical.
"Keri really is the actual center of the movie in that she's almost a straight woman," Banks continued."She grounds it, right? We said about Pitch Perfect 2, you can have Fat Amy and Cynthia Rose and Anna Camp puking because Anna Kendrick is just grounding it all, watching everybody be crazy around her. I think you always need that grounding presence in a movie. And to me, that was Keri.
She added of Liotta with a laugh,"He came so joyfully and was game to do it. And he knew what he was getting into ... My favorite memory, frankly, is the day that he wrapped ... We shot his very final scene on the ledge of a waterfall and he's covered in blood and guts; laying there. We wrapped him and then he gave a really beautiful speech to the crew, thanking all of them and talking about how everyone assumes he's Italian because he's played these Italians.
