It was one of our last casting sessions when Kristen and Annie said, "Oh, you should bring in our friend Melissa."
BRIDESMAIDS MOVIE MEGAN CRACKED
Yeah, but this was all really late in the process, and though we felt everybody was great, we hadn't found that person who cracked it 100%. People like Rebel Wilson - who ended up in the movie as Annie's roommate, Brynn - and Busy Philipps went out for the role, right? The Megan part was the one we had the most candidates for. She may have come in for Helen or for Becca. We knew Kristen was already close with Maya because of " Saturday Night Live," so that was one of the easier castings. Maya happened organically because Judd and I felt we had to cast someone Kristen is close with. I don't think there's any funny woman that didn't come through our doors. Let's go through some of the casting: Before Maya Rudolph got the role, Mindy Kaling was considered for Lillian, right? Universal Mindy Kaling, Busy Philipps, and Greta Gerwig all auditioned for parts in the movie Maya Rudolph, right, was cast because she was already close to Kristen Wiig, as they were both part of the same "Saturday Night Live" cast. He also shed light on the reason we'll likely never get a sequel. Speaking with Insider, Feig looked back on the evolution of the movie's most memorable scenes and revealed the recognizable stars who were in the running during casting.
"Five minutes later, Judd called me up and I suddenly had the job after being in movie jail for a while." "I went back to my hotel one night and I got a call from my agent that the wedding movie is alive again," he said. His lowest point, he said, was doing a Macy's ad that starred Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Feig was "bummed out" that his movie career had stalled - instead busying himself by directing commercials. It would take four years until he got another call from Apatow. "After the table read, I would check in, and finally, a couple years later Judd told me, 'I think it's dead.'" "And it wasn't even the cast we ended up with, although Melissa McCarthy was part of that read. "I went to it, and the bones were there, but it was a lot different from what ended up onscreen," he said.
