Jordan Hoffman: Bridesmaids is a great script, has great ensemble scenes, but for me it really is Kristen Wiig's movie.  She is just fantastic in scene after scene, so likeable and, if I may speak for the 18 to 34 year old demographic that my site represents, totally smokin' hot.

Paul Feig: Totally, that’s what I love about her. In Unaccompanied Minors, a film I'd rather not talk too much about, she was going to play this stripper mom, but you cast Kristen because she’s funny, and then she came out dressed in this short skirt, and I was like, “Holy sh*t! She’s hot.” Like, hotter than I expected, wow. That’s what I love about her that she’s not unattainable - wait, that doesn’t sound right.

Jordan Hoffman: She’s not fake.  She's a real person, but gorgeous, yet not a false creature invented by a special effects house.  Now, the airplane scene where she’s on Valium. Do you just have a mountain of takes?

Paul Feig: Oh totally. We shot for four days on that. That was a scene that I was like, “How are we going to cut this?” Because there are just mountains of funny stuff that she was doing. It was just like, “Okay lets go again.” I think I would do too many takes because I couldn’t wait to see what she was going to do next.

Jordan Hoffman: You must've known this was an opportunity to just let her do her thing.  Did you just show up and say "go?"  Where do you start on a sequence like that?

Paul Feig: There was definitely a road map to it, how she was getting nervous, how its handled, then once she’s drunk - there was definitely stuff written there, because Annie Mumolo wrote the first pass of it that really cracked me up. It was such a jumping off point. That’s what we love to do - if you get the emotional story right and get all the story points and blueprint right, then you can have fun, and let people go on top of it, but you never want to go and do it where it’s just "this is just a scene where she’s funny, and it doesn’t serve any purpose."

Jordan Hoffman: Then it’s a movie that has individually good scenes, but doesn't culminate to anything.

Paul Feig: Yeah, then you get a ridiculous end reslut - then there’s the maudlin scene. And you’re like, “Yuck, where the fu*k did that come from?” It’s clear they’re like: we got to get some story, we got to get some heart in there, just shove it into one scene.

Jordan Hoffman: With those outtakes, do you think we’re going to get a big Blu-ray feature for them?

Paul Feig: Well yeah, we already do, now the window is so short for when DVDs come out, the only thing left to do is the commentary track. There’s really funny stuff, strung together, Greg Cohen, who does a lot of the DVD stuff for us, he went through it all and really - my favorite thing that they do are these line-o-ramas. They really show off how talented each member of the cast is, just hearing their ad-lib jokes or jokes we gave them to play with, all in a row, and you are like, “wow, these are really funny people.”
