Rachel's Role in the Untitled Cameron Crowe Project Discussion/Spoilers #1

Information

Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone & Bradley Cooper are currently set to star in the still untitled Cameron Crowe project. Production is expected to start in September/October 2013 in Hawaii. Deadline was the first to report Rachel's involvement. Emma and Bradley signed on to the movie before Rachel and are both the leads, while Rachel takes on a supporting role. The plot line is under wraps, but it's reportedly a re-write of Crowe's "Deep Tiki" script.

Quotes from Cast & Crew

"I'm trying to act cool, like it's no big deal, but it's pretty amazing. I'm really excited to be working with him."
-Rachel McAdams on working with Cameron Crowe (St. Thomas Journal)

Triva/Fun Facts

• This is the second time Rachel and Bradley work together, they both starred in "Wedding Crashers" in 2005.
• Ben Stiller and Reese Witherspoon were both attached to star, but left due to scheduling conflicts. Crowe then spent four years rewriting the script, making the characters younger.
• The movie is 'blessed' by Ellen Degeneres.

The OP looks lovely. Thanks for starting, Lindsey.

Great OP!!!

That was quick, Lindsey! Great job.

I really hope they release some plot details soon. I'm really keen to see what type of character Rachel will be playing, and how she relates to Bradley & Emma's characters. If this project is indeed a reworking of Crowe's previous 'Deep Tiki' script, we can only assume that Rachel would be playing Bradley's ex-wife. But who knows - Crowe's new effort might be completely different to the original storyline he had in mind.

Often, a full announcement of project details and the cast/crew is issued around the time that filming commences, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long.

Having said that, everybody involved has been pretty tight-lipped thus far, so perhaps they're trying to keep any specific storyline info under wraps for as long as possible. Hopefully it's just until Crowe has his full cast lined up and is ready to start shooting.

Here's hoping for some further news shortly

UPDATE: The London Free Press article reporting on Rachel's visit to St. Thomas yesterday has now been updated to include the audio of the journalist's interview with Rachel. Rachel confirms that "we're shooting on the air base in Honolulu ... in the Fall" and refers to it as the "Untitled Hawaii Project". Definitely sounds like Deep Tiki to me.

New quotes from Rachel's interview with the St. Thomas Journal:

Quote:

Can you tell me a little bit about the Cameron Crowe film. Any details?
I don’t know how much I can tell you other then it really stars Bradley Cooper and Emma Stone and I play a supporting character. We are shooting on the air base in honolulu, like I said in the fall. I think it’s untitled Hawaii project, so it doesn’t have a title yet and beyond that I’m not sure what I’m prevod to say.

Music is always a big part of Cameron Crowe’s films. Is that a big part of …
I’ve received lots of Hawaiian mix CDs [laughs] which he made for me which is really cool and we talk about music a lot. He’s just a master and he was talking the other day about doing this follow up in tribute with Bowie and Neil Young and I’m just sort of … my mind is blowing. I’m trying to act cool like it’s no big deal but you know it’s pretty amazing. I’m really excited to be working with him.

SO excited for this. just that little banner up top makes me excited.

maebyfunke · 06-14-2013, 01:13 PM

I wonder what she means by follow up tribute with Neil Young and David Bowie. Does she mean a mix CD or is he working on another movie? Is she going to be in it!?

winterbird · 06-15-2013, 02:40 AM

I think she is talking about a follow up tribute Heather

The original article mentions that Crowe talked to Rachel about doing interviews with Neil Young and David Bowie.

hello Mr handsome......love your scruffy hair...and........your shoes!!!!LOL

winterbird · 06-19-2013, 02:09 AM

At those shoes.

Interesting post at Rachel's IMDB board:

Quote:

Funny, my initial reaction to this casting was disappointment because in my world, Rachel would never play second lead to Emma Stone. However, I'm hearing this is a really great script and Crowe beefed up her role to make it more interesting.This could be the critical and commercial success that Rachel needs right now.

EDIT: Came across this quote from Bradley:

Quote:

I wanted to quickly ask you about another project: I read that you may be doing a film with Cameron Crowe. Is that happening?
Cooper: Yeah, maybe. I think we’re just trying to work it out. But I love him. I’m a huge fan of his, and I would be honored to work with him — my God. Are you kidding?
