Whitney Cummings has recounted the “humiliating” expertise of failing an audition for Francis Ford Coppola’s divisive current movie Megalopolis, solely to be gifted a signed e book and a bottle of wine.
The comic and actor, 42, stated the expertise was so unusual that she thought she was being filmed for prank present Punk’d.
When requested concerning the audition on her Good For You podcast, Cummings stated: “That is such a core trauma for me.”
She went on to clarify that the 85-year-old Godfather director had invited her to audition and despatched her pages of dialogue to study. “I’m engaged on it for days, clearly,” she recalled. “As a result of it’s Francis Ford Coppola.”
Cummings stated that after she arrived she spent “three-and-a-half hours” in hair and make-up earlier than the audition began, which included being given “jheri curls on my brow that had been glued down” and a gold crown.
Describing the audition room, Cummings stated: “Everyone seems to be so quiet. There isn’t a vibe of, ‘We’re at an audition, it’s good to fulfill you.’ It’s simply so awkward, and I’m going in… and I’m like, ‘Okay, the place do you wish to begin first?’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, no, we’re not going to do the scene.’
“I used to be like, ‘Okay.’ That was three days of my life! He’s like — I consider it was… he would simply throw issues at me like, ‘In an English accent, say goodbye to your son going to conflict. Go.’ I’m not kidding.
“‘Now your husband is leaving you in your sister. Australian accent. Go!’ Actually, as a result of I did the present Punk’d, I actually was like, ‘If I’m being Punk’d, that is genius, that is truly genius.’
“As a result of I disassociated the complete factor.”
Cummings added that when the audition was lastly over, Coppola gave her “a signed copy of his new e book. He signed it in entrance of me, as if I had proven as much as an autograph signing, as if I wished… which, I imply, thanks, however… after which gave me a bottle of Francis Ford Coppola wine, like, ‘you’ll want this.’ It was simply so humiliating, and so confounding.”
The Impartial has approached Francis Ford Coppola for remark.
Megalopolis divided critics when it was launched earlier this yr. The Independent’s Geoffrey McNab gave the movie three stars, writing: “Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola’s self-funded $120m (£94m) epic, definitely isn’t one other Godfather or Apocalypse Now, however it’s at the very least bursting with concepts. The filmmaker spent a long time making an attempt to get Megalopolis off the bottom. What if it was no good? And what to make of the various claims of chaos on its set? Finally, this isn’t the automotive crash it might have been. It’s, although, deeply flawed and really eccentric.”
