'It's witchcraft.' jennaortega opens up to ChristinaRicci about her latest role in wednesdayaddams, TimBurton's new Addamsfamily adaptation 🦇
ORTEGA: They told me that Wednesday was going to boarding school, and she got in trouble. It’s like Nancy Drew–esque in the sense that she’s into mystery and is doing this detective thing. She gets into a school with all of these people that have special powers, but she remains an outcast in a sea full of outcasts.ORTEGA: Honestly, it was more difficult than I was anticipating because everything that you did is so flawless.
RICCI: When something is high concept, but other people don’t agree with the concept or the same expression of the concept, it can be so disorienting. I still don’t know how to manage that. Did you find a way to protect yourself from the things that could knock you off center? RICCI: There are a lot of nice goth nods without it being over-the-top. When I saw pictures of you, I was like, “Oh, wow. It’s such a great, modern interpretation.” It’s true to the spirit of the character. I didn’t originate this character, so I’m always like, “She’s a cartoon and a TV show. It’s not Shakespeare, but it’s the same idea. We keep redoing the thing.”
ORTEGA: It was the knowledge I gained in terms of operating on a set. But also the experience. I mean, we were out there for seven, eight months in Romania. I was alone.ORTEGA: People were going down with COVID left and right. The entire cast never—ORTEGA: Never had any hot water. The boilers in two of my apartments were broken, so I always took cold showers. Everything was closed because you couldn’t do anything. It feels like we survived something. I wear that as a badge of honor now.
