Anna Kendrick Slams Director Who Embarrassed Her In A Room Full Of Extras

Buy Me A Coffee

Picture this: Anna Kendrick, the queen of quips and charm, is standing in front of 100 extras, ready to sprinkle some improv magic. But instead of nailing the moment and earning high-fives all around, she got hit with the directorial version of a cold bucket of waterโ€”and, boy, did it splash!

During a chat on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Kendrick spilled the beans on this moment of public humiliation at the hands of a director whose name she kept safely under wraps. (But donโ€™t worryโ€”weโ€™ll be side-eyeing every trailer sheโ€™s ever been in just in case.)

According to Kendrick, the cinematic showdown started when the director waltzed over and hit her with:
โ€œHey, just make something up! Improv! Be free!โ€
Now, if youโ€™ve seen Pitch Perfect or literally anything else sheโ€™s in, you know Anna can throw down with improv. So naturally, she jumped in, full sass ahead.

Thenโ€”cue ominous musicโ€”the director called cut, strolled over, and with the subtlety of a sledgehammer said:
โ€œOof, letโ€™s go back to the script.โ€

OUCH. Imagine 100 extras pretending not to be secondhand embarrassed, while internally thinking, โ€œThat… did not just happen.โ€

โ€œIt felt like such a calculated power move,โ€ Kendrick reflected. โ€œLike, โ€˜Let me crush your soul right in front of everyone, so I feel like a big man.โ€™ It was super icky.โ€ (Insert icky face emoji here.)

But hereโ€™s the plot twist: the jokeโ€™s on the director becauseโ€”drumroll pleaseโ€”the very line Anna improvised, which got the โ€œbig manโ€ eye-roll treatment, wound up in the movieโ€™s trailer!

And Kendrick? Sheโ€™s got the last laugh:
โ€œAnd then the thing that I improved ended up in the trailer. So fโ€” you!โ€

Mic dropped. Directorโ€”obliterated. Movie trailerโ€”certified Kendrick-flavored brilliance. ๐ŸŽค

Moral of the story: never underestimate Anna Kendrick. Sheโ€™ll turn your attempt at a power move into a trailer highlight and roast you on a podcast for good measure.
