Julianne from Paradise Movie |
Some eerie events happened during the filming of Julianne Hough's new movie Paradise. It left Diablo Cody wondering if she had pushed God to far.
When they were filming the scene where Hough's character, Lamb faces her church congregation, the power went out just as Lamb was renouncing God. Louisiana was experiencing some apocalyptic weather according to Cody.
The scene features Hough as she takes the pulpit to explain she is leaving her faith to do shocking things in Vegas. Lamb can't comprehend that the benevolent God that she believes in would allow her to endure the suffering that she is going through after her accident.
Cody says "It's a very emotional scene. But it had to be balanced with lightness and humor that was a tough one."
Cody goes on to say that Hough seemed unaffected even after the eerie blackout. Cody states "I don't know if Julianne was phased. But I was. I thought am I angering someone there?"
Hough says "Saying certain things out loud, even though it is not me and it is a character, is definitely quite shocking coming out of my mouth. But at the end of the day people has their struggles and it all comes around. It almost makes you stronger to hit rock bottom."
Cody goes on to say that a lot of people are seeking spiritual comfort right now. It is easy to look around at things that are happening and feel that there is no good force in the world. The movie Paradise asks the question what if there is?
Paradise opens in limited release in October. It stars Julianne Hough, Russell Brand, Octavia Spencer, Nick Offerman and Holly Hunter. Written and directed by Diablo Cody.
