Hi. I'm Rebel Wilson,
and today I'm going to take you through a scene in Senior Year.
All right, let's do it.
Watch and learn.
In this scene,
Stephanie, she's kind of a bit annoyed that
the 2022 cheer squad, they don't do sexy dancing.
They don't do stunts.
And she's kind of trying to loosen them up a bit.
What kind of psycho world is this where the cheerleaders don’t get
invited to a party?
Hello? Are they stupid? We are the party!
Babe, of course we weren’t invited. It’s DM VIP. -Yeah.
You only get to go to them if they follow you.
Only the hot cool people. -Yeah.
Well yeah, but we are hot and cool.
Thank you.
Ok guys, you need to listen up alright? This is now serious.
We need to dance because we need to show everybody that we are the cool ones.
Guys, when I was in high school all the popular kids treated me like shit until I showed them
how cool I was.
She is encouraging the young teens to dance,
and she goes, What better way to get them into dancing
slutty, which comes later in the movie, than to just dance a Britney Spears number.
So I encourage the kids to to dance to Britney Spears’
Crazy in the basement.
We rehearsed this in Atlanta,
and sometimes we have to because of
all the work on the movie I would have to rehearse on the weekends
and we rehearsed it maybe like on five different days.
We practiced it and try to get it really tight.
What's always weird is you never practice in the actual outfits
And then when you get on set and you're in the hair
and makeup and the outfits and then you like, oh this feels a bit different
from when I was just doing it in my athleisure.
It’s always not as comfortable when you're in the show outfits.
But I love the rehearsal process and it's always really fun to bond
with the other friends in the cast when you're doing dance routines and like,
I'm really impressed with the kids in the movie because not only are they
so talented in acting, but also in singing and dancing like all of them.
So yes, I was really impressed how they just they just jumped in
and crushed it.
This sequence was shot really quickly in half a day,
so it really did not take long at all.
Obviously, I'm a huge Britney fan and like watched
all the film clips. I listened to her music.
I just tried to channel her energy or something.
And then in a couple of times, like we do, so many takes from different angles.
And in a couple of them,
Our director, Alex Hardcastle, he was like,
that was actually like I thought for a second that was Britney.
And I was like, what, really?
Who knows whether he was joking or not?
But he thought, like, I was channelling.
I was just like, okay, I'm just Britney.
Like, what would Britney do and how would she perform it?
And then sometimes I'd break it a bit to try to do something comic. But
yeah,
but I just really tried to be like baby.
Let’s dance. Ok, Can you hit play?
-Yeah. Nice fingering.
