Interview from ‘Megamind’ Press Conference
Below is a very interesting article from the press conference for Megamind that was held yesterday. Tina Fey talks about the live episode of 30 Rock, being honored with the Mark Twain award and, of course, Megamind. Read the entire article at HitFix.com.
Considering how busy Tina Fey’s work schedule is as the executive producer and star of “30 Rock,” not to mention her busy summers as a movie star shooting films such a “Date Night,” it’s hard to believe she’d put herself through two live performances of “30 Rock” on Oct. 14. Speaking at a press conference for her new DreamWorks Animated film “Megamind” today, Fey admitted the rare live show was a lot of fun, but took a toll on the “30 Rock” cast.
“We were all very tired the next day,” Fey says. “When you do ‘SNL’ you wake up the next day and think someone hit you with a piece of luggage. It was a very big challenge. I don’t know if we will ever do it again. And it oddly cost a lot of money to do, so it will be up to NBC. But it was a very positive experience.”
The stunt gave the show a notable ratings bump, but whether NBC will pay for it again remains to be seen.
As for “Megamind,” Fey plays Roxanne Richi, a spunky reporter who is continuously kidnapped by the “evil” Megamind (Will Ferrell) and then rescued by the hunky Metro Man (Brad Pitt). When Metro City’s big hero seemingly dies because of Megamind, both the villain and the reporter’s worlds feel somewhat empty. Can you imagine what happens next? Fey says she thinks her animated avatar reminds her of a young Sharon Osbourne, but she’s not complaining.
“I like her short hair and I like that she’s got an ample can,” Fey says. “I found the recording sessions very freeing, because you can really try things. There is a complete absence of vanity while you are [recording] it. I found it very fun.”
