Speaker 1 (00:00):
Eh, Hey, what's up.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Well, we've got a little surprise for you because there
was a little Gold Coast star that was in your
new movie The deb and she's here in studios Scarlet.
So hi to Auntie Rebel.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Oh my god, Hi Scarlet, how are you good? Yeah? Good?
Oh yeah good? Yeah? A woman a few words? Yeah,
much better when the script was there. You know, Starlet
improvisers like she's a rare comedy talent. She can make
a joke out of eating a tim tam out of

(00:32):
a packet. I'm telling you, she is that funny, and
she's such a discovery in this movie. And yeah, I
feel very lucky that that I found her for this
movie to play my daughter.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
How does it feel to hear Rebel say all those
nice things about your Scarlet?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
Really good?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Would you like to say anything about Rebel?

Speaker 3 (00:52):
She was really nice and funny and I really want
to work with her again in some other films.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
So do I actually, Scarlet, it's too nice. You don't
have to say all that, but thank you, Scarlett. You've
got to remember, though, when the rude words come on,
you've got to put your hands over your ears, because
there are a few rude words in it, So you
just got to remember that part, okay, because we don't
normally talk like that only in the movies.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Yeah, yes, yes, Actually we've watched a bit of it, Rebel,
and you're not kidding. It's the first song. It is
the best song ever. The fact that this is a
musical and it's f my life. I have the song.
I mean, we are excited for this film, Gaily and
I started watching it in order to chat to you.
I feel like it's everything that epitomizes you.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
Oh thanks, Yeah, because like this was my passion project,
Like I took years out of my career over in
America to come to Australia and to make this because
it is so me. I mean I kind of see
myself in all the characters. Like Taylor is a girl
who she just wants to be pretty, and then she
realizes at the end of the movie she's actually pretty

(02:03):
strong as a person. And then there's made the private
school girl, a character who's really ambitious and puts it
all out there. And I'm also like that as well,
and so there's so much that resonates with me personally,
which is why I like worked really really hard to
bring it on screen and give like new talent, like

(02:24):
you know, the lovely Scarlet there a chance to shine. Hey, Scarlet,
can I ask you, did you also be in a
movie playing Owen Wilson's daughter.

Speaker 3 (02:33):
Not Owen Wilson's daughter, but Owen Wilson was trying to
save my life in the movie. I was a girl
that was really sick and Owen Wilson and Alan Richardson
was trying to get a liver to the hospital. I
was at that movie.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Isn't out there you go just been made? Yeah, that's
he's made recently. Here on the Gold Coach, everyone's excited
to have the guys here.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah it was last year.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
Oh yeah, you really did pick a star there, Rebel.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
I mean, I'm so happy that yet not only Scarlet,
like the guy Costa who's love interest is like crushing
it overseas in series. And I kept having to say
to Scarlet because sometimes my character does say mean things
to her in the movie, and I kept trying to
explain to her, like I'm so sorry, this is just
like the comedy of the movie where the mother's a

(03:23):
little mean, and I kept trying to explain it because
she is like in real life as you guys can see,
she's like the cutest little thing. And I felt so
bad sometimes doing the mean joke, but there is something
funny about it.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I think the Australiana side of it all and the
musicality joined together. Potentially a stage show can come from this.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
Oh yeah, so we actually we put it on stage
in Sydney. There's a place called the Rebel Theater at
the Australian Theater for the young people, and we put
it on there to kind of test it and to
develop it for the film and we know when there,
So yeah, that's definitely an option option for me to
do in the future. Did you do your dep I didn't.

(04:08):
We do ours was called a formal, which is kind
of the same thing. I invited this guy who I
had a big crush on, and then he ended up
getting super drunk and I had to rescue him out
of the ocean at the end of the night. I
don't know how we ended up on Bundo Beach, but
we did, and he was really drunk and I never
really spoke to him again after that. I wonder if

(04:30):
that's been he's claim to fame, no Rebel since like
he's always got.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
A story at dinner time. You know, Yeah, I went
out with Rebel Wilson.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
There were dead.

Speaker 2 (04:39):
I think I got too drunk.
