'I just knew right away what I wanted this movie to be. I thought, ‘I need to see a movie about smart girls who are not attempting to assimilate, and are proud of being smart. A comedy about women that isn't poking fun of them being disasters.’ '
Beanie Feldstein, left, and director Olivia Wilde on the set of her directorial debut"Booksmart." "You're on set, and you're activated for a certain amount of time," the 35-year-old said,"but then you have long periods where you're alone in your trailer, coming down from this creative high. You get distracted. You read a book. And then you have to go back on set and get reactivated. That process was always kind of maddening to me.
The movie was about two high school seniors, Molly and Amy, who realize they've been so diligent in their studies that they missed out on a social life. The best friends make a pact to go hard on the night before graduation, attempting to get the full party experience in just 24 hours. Wilde immediately found herself creating a lookbook to pitch.
Wilde landed the gig, teaming up with writer Katie Silberman to retool the script and casting Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever in the lead roles. She also went back to rewatch some of her favorite films, channeling her inspirations into"Booksmart," which premiered to rave reviews at the South by Southwest Film Festival in March and hits theaters May 24.“When I went in to pitch, I told [Annapurna] I wanted to make the ‘Training Day’ of high school movies.
”I screened this for the cast at NeueHouse before we started filming, because I wanted them to understand that there are no small characters. There is no one forgettable in this film, and they really took that to heart. Many of them had never seen it, so they were coming up to me after saying, ‘I didn’t know about that movie! It’s the coolest movie I’ve ever seen!’ They’d heard references to [Sean Penn’s character, Jeff] Spicoli, but never knew who he was.
