| ANOTHER DELUNTRASH EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW... Chevvy Chase aka. Chief Officer Duggen in the CeliaSays movie |
 |
|
| Hi, special Agent DeLunTrash here. The CeliaSays movie started filmed on location in New Mexico last week. So far it's been great. We have three scenes complete, Tom's catering has been beyond words (with a particular nod the fantastic tacos he made on Saturday lunchtime) and I think it's safe to say that every one of our 1500 cast and crew members are having what our 2nd Gaffer, Pete called, "one hell of a Mardi Gras". Of course all of this is pointless if you, the humble home reader cannot share the experience. That's why, earlier on today I pulled up some directors chairs, poured a few tumblers of Vanilla Coke, buttered some of Tom's fantastic paprika and Lobster muffins and caught up with National Lampoon's very own Chevvy Chase, a.k.a. Chief Officer Duggen, in order to find out how the CeliaSays movie is going for him: DE LUN TRASH: SO CHEVVY, CHAVVEY CHASE, THE OLD CHASETER HOWS THE FILM GOING FOR YOU SO FAR? CHEVVY: Its going good DLT: HOW HAS STING BEEN TO WORK WITH? CHEVVY: I occasionally do my Bill Clinton impressions to cheer him up, but really, its been a joy to work with Sting, he's a great guy and a crafty sort of a guy, he made the whole crew wooly hats! DLT: WHICH SCENE DO YOU THINK WILL PROVE TO BE THE MOST CHALLENGING? CHEVVY: Uh�I would have to say the rodeo scene, where I accidentally get entered into a bull riding contest! DLT: WHICH SCENE ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? CHEVVY: I can't wait to do the interrogation scene, the stern but fair attitude sounds fun to play. I've found National Lampoon's Stanley to be a very limiting role. DLT: WHAT PREPERATION FOR YOUR ROLE OF CHIEF OFFICER DUGGEN DID YOU UNDERGO TO ENSURE THAT YOU CONVEYED AN ACURATE VERSION OF YOUR CHARACTER? CHEVVY: For several weeks I rode around with the LAPD, in the back of their cars, I got to watch them do paper work, and we played out a scene where I was a terrorist. I also did a 3 day course at the FBI, learning how to act in the way a that a SWAT team would, he heh it was A LOT of fun! DLT: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR ROLE IN 'STAR WARS - ATTACK OF THE CLONES': CHEVVY: Oh���.this, this I'm not pleased about, the name of my role was actually DANCING ALIEN #4, I was told I was going to be playing the role of Chetata, a deadly space assassin. But George scrubbed that idea, so I was out, but they felt like they needed to use me, so...I became dancing alien #4� DLT: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO FINALLY WORK WITH STEVEN SPIELBERG, A CREDIBLE DIRECTOR. CHEVVY: He's a great man, a true professional who only accepts perfection. But we didn't get off to a good start, on the first day I dived into his personal swimming pool, in all honesty I thought it was for everyone. He wasn't too happy. DLT: WHICH OF TOM'S MEALS SO FAR IS YOUR FAVOURITE? CHEVVY: I liked his homemade hamburgers the best. Delicious. DLT: OKAY, SO LET'S PRETEND THAT PINK LOOSE CHINA AND I ARE HOLDING A VIDEO NIGHT AT THE ST.ALBANS OFFICE, AND YOU GET TO BRING A VIDEO OF YOUR CHOICE. WHAT DO YOU BRING? CHEVVY: I will bring Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing. DLT: WHAT SONG DO YOU THINK SHOULD DEFINITELY BE INCLUDED ON THE MOVIE'S SOUNDTRACK? CHEVVY: Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers, S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y night! DLT: FROM WHAT I'VE SEEN, SKREECH HAS PROVED TO BE A BIT OF A PRANKSTER ON SET, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE OF HIS GAGS TO DATE? CHEVVY: His crazy chicken impressions in the background while the camera is rolling, cracks everyone up. Also he has this ability to look like EVERYONES mum!?!? Many times we have said 'hello mother' to him, to only be answered with screech's giggles. What a clown!!! DLT: WE HERE AT CELIASAYS LOVE OUTTAKES. WHAT'S GONE WRONG SO FAR THAT COULD BE INCLUDED ON THAT NICE LITTLE SEQUENCE OF THEM THAT APPEAR ON THE END CREDITS JUST AS EVERYONES ABOUT TO LEAVE? CHEVVY: The hilarious part when Bruce Vilanche and Sting accidentally drop the 'Glass Mask' prop, and its smashes into thousands of tiny pieces, much to the dismay of Props makers. Also the time when Bill wet himself on the crash mats, but we're not supposed to talk about that. DLT: THERE WAS AN UNFORTIONATE INCIDENT ON THE SECOND DAY OF FILMING INVOLVING A FAULTY CREAM PIE SHOOTER. WHAT DO YOU RECALL OF THIS? CHEVVY: Yes, the cream pies were just falling off the arm, just falling off, it was a nuisance to say the least. DLT: FINALLY, BECAUSE I KNOW STEVENS CALLING FOR YOU TO RETURN TO THE SET, IF YOU COULD BE ANY SUPERHERO, WHO WOULD YOU BE? CHEVVY: I would be Captain America because I know, like every true American male, we love this country. I would fight for the U S of A in the same way Captain America does, just showing his patriotism with his whole starts and stripes get up. DLT: THANKS CHEVVY. I'LL SEE YOU LATER, AND THIS TIME I WON'T FORGET THE PAPERCLIPS! (Both laugh hysterically (in-joke from day three)) CHEVVY: Hahaha, yes yes, see you Monday! And tell Tom I thought his Blancmange was to die for. DLT: OH DON'T YOU WORRY CHEVVY. I WILL, OH I WILL. |
