What is the latest buzz about the ‘Do Revenge’ film?
‘Do Revenge’ is a glittery yet delicious dark comedy about two young women who join forces to take down each other’s bullies. This unlikely pair consists of queen bee Drea who wants to make things even and get back at her boyfriend (Austin Abrams) for leaking her sex tape and transfer student Eleanor whose sexuality was deliberately revealed by a student that gave fire to rumors about how Eleanor tried to hold her down and kiss her, making her a laughing stock inside the school. So, in the wake of an unexpected run-in, Drea and Eleanor decide to handle each other’s dirty work.
In a recent interview with Elle.com, director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson giving a glimpse of the mysterious dark comedy said, “I think there are different points where everyone’s the villain and everyone’s the hero in this story. And that is so much of what growing up is. I wanted to make something that paints with all the colors of adolescence.”
Opening up on casting the finest stars as an ensemble cast for the film, Robinson added, “We joke that they are like, the young Hollywood Avengers. They call themselves ‘The Revengers,’ which we love. But they weren’t just cast because they’re “teen royalty,” they just are all really talented. And they were the best people for these parts.”
Talking about how she decided to cast Camila as the main lead for the film, Robinson shares, “I will say, in Camila’s tape, I paused it at about maybe five seconds in, picked up the phone and called Peter Cron and producer Anthony Bregman and said, ‘We have Drea.’ It’s Camila. I literally didn’t even finish. I watched her say, like, four lines and I was like, ‘And that’s it.’ And I started crying.”
Revealing how it had been the same case for casting Maya, where she literally ended up moving the production and filming schedule completely to Miami, the director said, “It had to be Maya. And so, the movie was supposed to take place in Los Angeles; we moved it and shot it in Atlanta so we could shoot it at the same time as Stranger Things. And I rewrote it and reset it in Miami. … They were so perfect that we legit moved the production because if we waited for Maya after Stranger Things, we would’ve lost Cami. And if we had Cami in L.A., we wouldn’t have Maya. I was like, ‘Nope, it has to be both of them.’ So we moved the whole movie six weeks before production.”
Opening up on her experience of working so closely with both Mendes and Hawke in the film, Jennifer shared, “So much of themselves are in this movie. And it really was such a deep collaboration between the three of us.”
