Film stars Constance Wu and Shawn Mendes (who plays the role of the singing Crocodile) took to the red carpet to attend an official world premiere of the film.
The Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile team attended the world premiere of their film adaptation of a children’s book on the streets of New York City on Sunday.
The stars Constance Wu, Shawn Mendes, Ego Nwodim, Scoot McNairy, and newcomers Winslow Fegley and Lyric Hurd along with the film’s producers and directors were on the checkered black and white carpet to discuss their live-action film.
“It’s such a wonderful story,” producer Hutch Parker said to The Reporter. “I believe it’s a classic however it’s the type of spirit that comes from Lyle that makes it unique. It was appropriate to tell this kind of story. We believe that everyone needs a Lyle in their lives and I believe that it’s real.”
Lyle, Lyle, Crocodilefollows Mr., and Mrs. Primm, played by McNairy and Wu respectively, who have recently relocated from New York, as their young son, Josh (Fegley), is struggling to adjust to his new surroundings and meet new people. When Josh meets Lyle the crocodile, who sings and is a lover of baths and caviar the world changes until the Primms their evil neighbor Grumps, played by Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman) is threatening Lyle’s existence.
Parker believes that directors Will Speck and Josh Gordon are the two directors who drew attention to the actors, and when they got together, they were able to get along quite well.
“Constance was great,” Parker said. “Javier Bardem, who is in the film,is awe-inspiring. He’s sort of an icon. This was thrilling and amazing to see him take on. He’s never performed or danced in a movie like this. It was an enormous undertaking and it’s quite amazing to see him doing his dance routine.”
Mendes is the voice of the crocodile in one of his first major film roles in his career. The singer also composed several new songs specifically for Lyle, Lyle, and Crocodile.
“Shawn was remarkable because this is very different for him,” Parker explained. “It’s quite a different way of doing things. It took long hours trying to get him to comprehend the manner the songs were working and the guy was an absolute natural. He was a great performer.”
McNairy was motivated to work with such gifted actors, in particular Bardem.
“Javier is so talented and so fun to be around, incredibly nice,” said the actor. “But just all the stuff that he adds to it, it’s really, really fascinating to watch someone work that you admire so much,” McNairy said it was crucial to him to tackle something that his children could observe, to watch what their dad does instead of only being told about it. McNairy hopes that kids that watch Lyle, Lyle, and Crocodile leave the theatre feeling confident and confident that they will be able to conquer their anxieties.
In the case of Wu Wu, she believes the movie, as the memoir she is writing Making A Scene is a representation of her true self.
“I feel really relieved to have what I feel is like a really authentic portrayal of myself out there in the public,” she said to THR of her recently released albums. “I am so happy that I have a musical to share since it is a representation of me as I am since I am a musical theater enthusiast. I’ve always been.”
When it is about making a scene, Wu hopes that it will assist readers in working to be more compassionate and interested in others rather than jumping to one’s own conclusion.
“I say something in the introduction, where I say, ‘Instead of thinking of somebody as a girl, making a scene, think about the scenes that made the girl,’ and what I mean by that is, it’s important to stop our judgment and instead engage our empathy and curiosity for what are the circumstances that might have led somebody to their expression at that particular moment.”
