movie and people might shy away from it." Meadows, who'd starred in the flop adaptation ofParamount PicturesIt's a good thing that Waters got Poehler cast because she wound up being integral in bringing mathlete Kevin Gnapoor's talent-show rap to life.
In fact, Fey left it up to her former Weekend Update co-anchor to pen the bop for actor. "She'll actually give credit to Amy for this, because Amy is more of the rap person," Waters revealed. "Amy definitely coached him on how to do the rap, and she actually gave him some of the moves and choreography for it." If you don't believe it, check outParamount Picturesis just so perfectly perfect, but there was a time when the movie was called something else entirely. "Our original title was. We were going to make it about someone who's been home-schooled their whole lives and then has to navigate high school," Waters toldin 2014. Luckily, a shift in the overall idea brought about a change in name. "Then we came up with the Africa concept," he continued, "which was a real boon because we could compare the kids' behavior to animals."over to the MPAA for the ratings board to decide how the film should be rated, they tried to slap the teen comedy with an R rating, if you can believe it. And the studio had to fight back to ensure that the intended audience for the movie could actually go out and see it. "Even in the PG-13 movie, we had to take a lot of things out. We had a tough time with the MPAA," Fey toldin 2018. "I remember thinking, If this was a movie about a boys' school, 'Is your cherry popped?' wouldn't have to come out." That line was replaced with the much tamer "Is your muffin buttered?" Not everything was a concession on the filmmakers' end, however. “The line in the sand that I drew was the joke about the wide-set vagina. The ratings board said, 'We can’t give you a PG-13 unless you cut that line.' We ended up playing the card that the ratings board was sexist, becausehad just come out, and Ron Burgundy had an erection in one scene, and that was PG-13," Waters told Vulture. "We told them, 'You’re only saying this because it’s a girl, and she’s talking about a part of her anatomy. There’s no sexual context whatsoever, and to say this is restrictive to an audience of girls is demeaning to all women.’ And they eventually had to back down.”who was lucky enough to ask Lohan what day it was—October 3!—there were a few other contenders for the Aaron Samuels role. In a 2014 interview with revealed that the part originally belonged to a recognizable actor who got himself fired at the table read. "This other actor hadn't shaved and he didn't take his hat off; he was playing it really cool," Franzese said, afraid to ID the actor and embarrass him. "People kept coming over to him like, 'You know, you should really take your hat off.' And then, right after the table read, he got fired and they called Jonathan Bennett, who I guess was their second choice." And that's not all Franzese spilled. "Also, Lindsay recently told me that, even before [the actor who got fired],was considered for the role of Aaron Samuels," he added. "I thought that was so cool—Bennett was great but that would've been cool."While Bennett may not have been the first choice for Aaron, the actor contends that he got the gig because he bore a striking resemblance to Fey's former Weekend Update co-anchor
