Anna Kendrick's Favorite Funny Moments Filming The Day Shall Come

Anna, hello. Your smile when I saw you right there really brightened up my day. How are you doing?

Ah, I feel amazing. Um, I'm feeling, oh, I won't punch your mic. I'm feeling excited. I'm a little nervous. I'm excited for people to see it.

Hello, Danielle, welcome to the red carpet. You've been working on this movie for a long time. Now it's finally coming out. Just tell me a little bit about the movie.

Oh, man. The movie is kind of like a mouse and cat chase, where the mouse doesn't know they're being chased. Second guest: Yeah, well, I'm just excited that we're premiering it at South By Southwest so that we can actually talk about it now for the first time because it's been kind of like shrouded in secrecy. I play a character called Reza. He's a shopkeeper. And um, he's not to be trusted. And he loves wearing shorts. And he tucks in his shirts into his shorts. And I think that, you know, if I've ever done that, I felt like it was the wrong thing to do. You know, it's about this guy who's this kind of um, prophet, preacher. Um, and he's really charismatic. Um, he doesn't have that many followers at this point in his life. But, um, he kind of catches the attention of the FBI and I'm playing an FBI agent.

You're the you're the bad guy.

I, that's the thing. It's there's a lot of bad guys and there's degrees of bad guys. And we're definitely like coming down and that was something that Chris Morris and I talked about a lot was coming down on the side of, you know, we're not saying that my character is like one of the good guys just because she's the least bad of the bad guys and and that kind of stuff. So, it was like fun and challenging to you know, to play somebody who's like morally questionable at the best of times.

You guys had a lot of funny people on set, yourself included. Was there any funny moments off set?

Oh, man. We have a good time. Well, there was this whole thing with a chicken.

Chicken.

Yeah, because we got training with the animals. So, I was supposed to like hold a chicken in the thing. Oh my god. We ran out of time and the chicken didn't want to act right. So, I was supposed to hold the chicken in

You choked the you choked the chicken.

I didn't choke the chicken. That is not the story here. I'm okay. Um, James Adomian, he um, plays a cop and he's a stand-up comedian. And he like me and the other um, actors tended to get into this like rhythm, you know, and it started to feel like we're doing all this little play and we'd laugh every time James Adomian said something because he was just like record scratch, like in his own rhythm, like doing his own thing. And we just had to like, kind of go along for the ride and it was so much fun watching him work.

We are in Austin. And the slogan is Keep Austin Weird.

Yes. Keep Austin Weird. Keep it weird.

So, we're going to play a little game. Okay. It's going to be your weirdest. Okay. All right. So, your weirdest dream.

Oh my god. Um, Jumanji. I see in my old neighborhood all these animals chasing me. I hate it. And or my teeth falling out. Those are the two things.

Your weirdest dream?

I had it the other night actually. I just lost my dog last week. And I dreamt I was in my old house I lived in as a child. And there was a dog there but it wasn't, it was it was like a Simba kind of like a a lion cub. And it was in the house. Second guest: My weirdest dream is being in a a submarine and a volcano not a volcano, a rhino running through the submarine while I'm in my

In the water and then a rhino coming in? Second guest: Yeah, I'm like driving the submarine and I hear something behind me, right? Like I just hear all this noise, this like commotion.

A submarine's in water though. Second guest: I know, I know. You said my weirdest dream.

Okay. That is very weird. You just said that. All right. Uh, weirdest food you've ever had?

Um, I don't really try to mess with too many weird foods. But, I did go to Japan and there was like worms, really mini like white worms with black teeth, black eyes.

Did you eat it?

No. No.

You just looked at it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was enough.

Uh, tobacco ice cream.

Tobacco ice cream. Yeah, that is very weird.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It felt strong?

It was in I had it in Guatemala. It was very strange. And it wasn't bad, it tasted it tastes like you would expect, like tobacco. Second guest: This food, man. God. Weird food. I've watched a lot of people eating weird food like uh weirdest that you've seen. Like kind of snakey, sluggy type stuff, right?

Snails? Second guest: Snails, I've had snails but I didn't think they were weird, they kind of tasted good. Caviar, tried that, you know. So,

Last one, weirdest fashion trend that you've ever participated in.

Weirdest fashion trend.

You know how people used to wear like Fubu and all that stuff. Second guest: Yeah, that was me. Fubu.

Yeah, like the oversized Mitchell and Ness like I mean Fubu, what's wrong with Fubu though? Second guest: No, there's nothing wrong with it. But you know like the oversized like Mitchell and Ness look that people had in the 90s. I guess that's the weirdest.

So that's not bad. Second guest: No, it's not bad at all. You you we were with the times.

Exactly. Second guest: But now when you look back on it, it don't age as well. You feel me?

I feel you.

Booty shorts.

Booty shorts. That's a weird one.

That's not weird, but it's too much.

Too much.

Yeah, when I was a little teenager, just doing the most.

I bet you look good in it.

I did though.

You're killing it, you're killing it.

That I've ever worn. Yeah, you've participated in. I wore leather trousers on my 18th birthday. And um

How did that night go?

It's warm. Very warm. Very sweaty. Uh, didn't wear those again. Last time. I still have a pair of leather boots that I can only get on if I put plastic bags over my feet before I put them in the boot. Um

And you ripped the bag and then

And then rip the bag and then get on with your evening.
