Production Notes
EPIC MOVIE is big. Really big. It’s a movie of, well, epic proportions.
We know…because we measured.
The story centers on four not-so-young orphans: one reared by a curator at the Louvre
(where an albino assassin lurks); another, a refugee from Mexican “libre” wrestling; the third a
recent victim of snakes on her plane; and the fourth a “normal” resident of a mutant “X”-
community. The hapless quartet visits a chocolate factory, where they stumble into an enchanted
wardrobe that transports them to the land of Gnarnia (with a silent “G”). There they meet a
flamboyant pirate captain and earnest students of wizardry – and join forces with, among others, a
wise-but-horny lion to defeat the evil White Bitch of Gnarnia.
EPIC MOVIE comes from the new masters of the parody genre – Jason Friedberg &
Aaron Seltzer – who now set their parodic sights on the largest genre of them all: Hollywood’s
big-budget, special effects-laden, blockbuster franchise films. After successfully skewering the
scary movie and romantic comedy franchises as two of the six writers of “Scary Movie,” and as
the writers/director of “Date Movie,” the duo now focus on this untapped niche – Hollywood’s
summer and fall tentpoles - proving once again that they are proud of being “first to be second.”
For the last thirty years, from “Airplane” to “Hot Shots” to “Scary Movie,” parodic
comedies have focused on specific movie genres. With the studios’ ongoing deluge of summer
and holiday blockbusters becoming the norm, writers/directors Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer
felt the time was ripe to expand the scope of genre parodies to include recent action films, comic
book films, and children’s fantasy films.
The idea for the film came to Friedberg and Seltzer while they were making “Date
Movie” with producer Paul Schiff. “We had so much fun making that movie we didn’t want to
stop, so we came up with another one,” says Schiff. “We were just brainstorming and talking
about targets of opportunities ripe for parodies.”
Friedberg and Seltzer decided to build the framework for the film around the general plot
of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” Thus was born the
characters of Edward, Peter, Susan and Lucy – four unrelated orphans in search of their homes,
who are magically transported into the fantasy world of Gnarnia (“with a G, like Gnarly”), where
they meet The White Bitch (Jennifer Coolidge), and her team of assistants and assassins. Along
the way they meet numerous incarnations of characters from recent tentpole films.
“We just like these movies and thought they’d be great movies to ridicule,” says Aaron
Seltzer. “Like ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Superman’ and ‘X-Men’ and ‘Nacho Libre.’ It just
seemed like fun to parody them all, using ‘Narnia’ as the broad outline, and then it just stemmed
from there.”
EPIC MOVIE reunites four of the stars from “Date Movie” – Adam Campbell, Jennifer
Coolidge, Tony Cox and Fred Willard - and introduces many actors new to the directors’
repertory company. The filmmakers note that they fell in love with a lot of great, funny actors on
“Date Movie,” and felt lucky to be able to bring some of them back. “Overall,” notes Jason
Friedberg, “we wanted a really strong ensemble cast and lots of different personalities.”
A quartet of talented comedic actors plays the orphans who, strangely, look nothing alike.
Kal Penn plays Edward, who falls under the White Bitch’s spell; Adam Campbell is Peter, who
tries to be a true leader even though his natural inclinations are to cut and run; Faune Chambers is
Susan, the practical and stoic one; and Jayma Mays is Lucy…the idiot.
“Edward is loosely based on the Edmund character from ‘Narnia,’” Kal Penn relates.
“He’s jealous of his older brother, Peter, and doesn’t really think that he’s part of the family.
He’s the traitorous character. He’s led to believe that the witch is going to make him king of this
land, whereas my siblings are on a separate mission. He doesn’t feel like he really belongs, but
through the course of the story they all come together as a family to fight off the witch.”
In a spoof of Penn’s own body of work, the directors added a reference to “Harold and
Kumar Go to White Castle.” “It was definitely important to me to ridicule something that I’ve
done as just part of the good-natured aspect of EPIC MOVIE,” Penn says. “I think the great thing
about all the movies we’re ridiculing is that they’re such a form of pop culture reference, that to
even have the White Castle reference was kind of an honor.”
Adam Campbell, who starred as the foppish, charming, bumbling British lad Grant
Funkyerdoder in Seltzer & Friedberg’s romantic comedy spoof “Date Movie,” portrays the
foppish British lad, Peter, who sprouts chicken wings. But instead of flying majestically through
the air, Peter clucks and runs. “My character is a rather anxious, nervous, frightened mutant boy
who eventually gains his courage and becomes something bigger than he’s ever dreamt,” says
Campbell.
Jayma Mays, who co-starred opposite Rachel McAdams in “Red Eye,” plays dimwitted
Lucy, a parody of the youngest of “Narnia’s” Pevensie children. Lucy discovers early on that the
only person in her life is killed, but they’ve left her a trail of clues. Along with the others, Lucy
goes on a quest where she eventually discovers that she actually has had a family all along.
“Lucy’s a simple gal,” says Mays. “She’s definitely a little slower than the rest of the
group. She figures things out a few steps behind everybody else.”
For the role of Susan, the most responsible and practical of the orphaned adventurers, the
filmmakers selected Faune Chambers, whose credits include “White Chicks” and “Bring It On
Again.” In casting the role they were looking for someone to provide a good counterbalance to
Jayma Mays’ Lucy.
“Susan has been an orphan all of her life,” explains Chambers, “so she feels that she’s
never been a part of anything worthwhile. So when she finds this golden ticket that says, ‘an epic
adventure,’ she’s just so excited. And once she gets there, of course, it turns into something
they’re not expecting, but what she’s discovered is a nice little family unit that she’s never had
and never been a part of.”
Jennifer Coolidge plays The White Bitch, a reference to Jadis, the White Witch, the
principal villain from “The Chronicles of Narnia.” Coolidge, who co-starred for Seltzer &
Friedberg in “Date Movie,” is best known for her work in a host of Christopher Guest comedies,
including the recent “For Your Consideration,” as well as the “Legally Blonde” films.
Coolidge says that playing the bad girl is more interesting to play than a more virtuous
character. “I guess I just get offered the bad girl a lot,” she says. “I seem kind of typecast, I
guess, but yeah, it’s just more fun.”
In a first for a parodic film – or any film in history – two separate actors portray roles
originated by Johnny Depp in other films. “Saturday Night Live” veteran Darrell Hammond, best
known for his brilliant takes on everyone from Bill Clinton to Sean Connery, plays the roguish
Captain Jack, referencing Johnny Depp’s memorable performances as Captain Jack Sparrow in
the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films.
In preparing for the role, Hammond says “I spent almost every hour of every day
watching ‘Pirates of the Caribbean,’ trying to get every single little thing I could get my hands on,
because the thing about the character is that it has so many layers to it, so I had to take a look and
find as many aspects to parody as I could.”
Crispin Glover (“Back to the Future”) injects his trademark eccentricities into the
character of Willy, channeling Johnny Depp’s performance from “Charlie and the Chocolate
Factory,” Gene Wilder’s original Willy Wonka – and even a bit of Michael Jackson.
“We were searching high and low for an actor to have the courage and sense of abandon
to ridicule Willy Wonka as played by Johnny Depp,” recalls Paul Schiff. “Crispin twisted the
character and played with it.”
Fred Willard plays Aslo, in a tongue in cheek reference to the computer-generated lion,
Aslan, from “The Chronicles of Narnia.” “Aslo is kind of a randy lion, who has an eye for the
ladies,” says the comedy veteran.
Willard undertook some unorthodox research to get into the mind of a lion. “I went to
several zoos,” he says. “I ate with the lions. I slept with the lions. Made love to the lions. Made
love to the zookeepers. And finally they said, ‘That’s enough. Out you go.’ And I said, ‘But I’m
preparing for a movie.’”
In creating Aslo’s makeup effects, every expense was spared. “My days consisted of
them slicking down my hair, putting on a skullcap, putting on the wig, struggling with the pants
and shoes, and shaving my chest so they could glue the fake chest hair on,” Willard says.
Diminutive character actor Tony Cox, best known as Billy Bob Thornton’s sidekick in
“Bad Santa” as well as his spoof of Hitch in “Date Movie,” plays Bink, an assistant (and
chauffeur) to the White Bitch. “Bink is a real bad-ass mo-fo sidekick to the White Bitch,” says
Cox, whose character sports a Fu Manchu beard.
Kevin Hart, a veteran of the “Scary Movie” series, plays Silas, the Albino Monk, a
parody of the self-flagellating assassin portrayed by Paul Bettany in “The Da Vinci Code.” In
EPIC MOVIE, Silas works for the White Bitch as one of her many assassins. Hart underwent
three hours of makeup and sported special contact lenses to play the character.
Even the blockbuster “X-Men” series doesn’t escape ridicule. When we first meet Peter,
he’s a classmate of Mystique, Rogue, Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops, and Magneto at the “Mutant
Academy of Arts and Sciences.”
Carmen Electra, who appeared in a “King Kong” parody in “Date Movie,” portrays a
character modeled after Mystique, shape-shifting mutant in the “X-Men” films. “I worked with
directors on ‘Date Movie’ and on the first ‘Scary Movie,’” explains Electra. “So we’ve built this
relationship, and when they called me up last-minute and asked me to be in this movie I thought it
would be fun to dress up as Mystique and get to work with the guys again.”
Had EPIC MOVIE faithfully followed the films it ridicules, it would have been a globe-
spanning adventure for the cast and crew alike, taking them from the lush forests and fields of
New Zealand to the waters of Costa Rica; and from the museums of Paris to a tiny backwater
village in Kazakhstan. However, with the help of movie magic, the filmmakers were able to
create magisterial sets in the suburbs and stages of Southern California.
Producer Paul Schiff notes that making a parodic movie like EPIC MOVIE is deceptively
complicated. “Because we’re taking on some pretty big and spectacular movies to ridicule, in
order for the joke to work the scene has to be grounded in enough reality of that movie so that
you can twist it and turn it and ridicule it.”
Executive producer Rodney Liber agrees that there is a level of difficulty inherent in
parody films that aren’t found in more mainstream movies. “Unlike other movies where you’re
actually concentrating on one storyline, with this one you have maybe twenty to thirty storylines
you could be concentrating on, because you’re commenting on so many different movies,” he
says.
Los Angeles’ Museum of Natural History stands in for the Louvre Museum in Paris,
where we are introduced to the character of Lucy (Jayma Mays), who is sent on her adventure
after discovering an intriguing code from an elderly, breakdancing museum curator played by
veteran actor David Carradine of “Kung Fu” and “Kill Bill” fame.
“The Chronicles of Narnia” was filmed in New Zealand, but EPIC MOVIE found its
lush, rolling hills in Newhall, California, about 30 miles north of Los Angeles.
A ranch in Placerita Canyon in Newhall was the setting for the exterior battlefields of
Gnarnia, along with Aslo’s camp. A veritable Renaissance Fair of vintage-garbed background
performers – woodsmen, archers, and soldiers – usually 100-200 in total, were brought in daily to
the location for two weeks of filming, mostly in sweltering heat approaching 110 degrees.
Costume designer Frank Helmer had one of his proudest moments with the work he did
with Jennifer Coolidge’s The White Bitch. “The first time the White Bitch was shot in her full
glory was part of the battle scene in which she is reviewing her troops,” he recalls. “It was the
first time we had her complete look together: her amazing dreadlock wig, the jackalope headdress
I designed, the brown battle dress and her leather arm gauntlets. When I saw her finally in place
with the 200 Gnarnia warriors and Bink by her side she looked exactly as I had envisioned, and it
was a glorious moment.”
In an age where the visual effects budgets of major Hollywood blockbusters alone is
more than the entire budget of most films, visual effects producer Greg Baxter and visual effects
supervisor Ariel Shaw, were charged with the task of creating – and at some times recreating –
lavish visual effects sequences from the vast array of films parodied by EPIC MOVIE.
The most complicated sequence for the duo and their team of CGI animators and
technicians was a sequence featuring a certain pirate captain atop an out-of-control mill wheel.
A talking beaver character and a White Bitch/Davy Jones octopus tentacle character were
designed and operated by master puppeteer Mark Rappaport and his team of on-set puppeteers
from his special effects company Creature Effects Inc. Five animatronic puppeteers articulated
the body and facial features of Mr. Beaver, with the on-set voice provided by Katt Williams.
Supervising the vast army of stunt soldiers and other stunt performers throughout the film
was stunt coordinator Keith Adams, best known for his stunt coordinating work on Quentin
Tarantino’s “Kill Bill” films.
Production designer William Elliott replicated the original films’ looks as much as
possible, while avoiding obvious touches. “We try to base all the comedy in reality and let the
comedy come from the script and the actors, to give them a good, firm foundation in which to
work.”
Not content with mastering the art of parodic movie screenwriting, with EPIC MOVIE,
writers/directors Jason Friedberg & Aaron Seltzer have turned to the craft of songwriting.
“We’re more songwriters than filmmakers,” jokes Friedberg.
The duo wrote the lyrics for two memorable song and dance numbers: the maniacal “He’s
Willy,” performed by Loompa Oompas, and “Lazy Pirate Day,” as executed by Captain Jack and
his merry band of pirates.
“We like lots of music in our movies,” says Seltzer. “It keeps things upbeat, fun and
different, and some of the movies we’re parodying have music in them, like “Willy Wonka and
the Chocolate Factory.”
The dancing in the film’s two big musical numbers was choreographed by Stacy Walker,
who also choreographed sequences for Friedberg and Seltzer on “Date Movie.”

Both natives of Southern California, Seltzer and Friedberg met at the University of
California - Santa Barbara, where the duo developed several businesses together while putting
themselves through school. By graduation, they owned two successful shoe stores on trendy
Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood and had sold their first screenplay, “Spy Hard,” which was
produced by Hollywood Pictures. Before long, they were selling original screenplays as well as
adaptations with such frequency that they decided to sell the shoe stores and focus exclusively on
their writing career.
PAUL SCHIFF (Producer) began his career as a documentary cameraman in New York
City. He segued to directing for MTV, where he was on staff for four years during the
groundbreaking early days of the cable channel. Schiff moved to feature films as an associate

ARNON MILCHAN (Executive Producer) is widely renowned as one of the most prolific
and successful independent film producers of the past 25 years, with over 100 feature films to his
credit. Born in Israel, Milchan was educated at the University of Geneva. His first business venture
was transforming his father’s modest business into one of his country’s largest agro-chemical
companies. This early achievement was a harbinger of Milchan’s now-legendary reputation in the
international marketplace as a keen businessman.
Soon, Milchan began to underwrite projects in areas that had always held a special interest
for him – film, television and theater. Early projects include Roman Polanski’s theater production of
“Amadeus,” “Dizengoff 99,” “La Menace,” “The Medusa Touch” and the mini-series “Masada.” By
the end of the 1980s, Milchan had produced such films as Martin Scorsese’s “The King of Comedy,”
Sergio Leone’s “Once Upon at Time in America” and Terry Gilliam’s “Brazil.”
After the huge successes of “Pretty Woman” and “The War of the Roses,” Milchan founded
New Regency Productions and went on to produce a string of successful films including “J.F.K,”
“Sommersby,” “A Time to Kill,” “Free Willy,” “The Client,” “Tin Cup,” “Under Siege,” “L.A.
Confidential,” “The Devil’s Advocate,” “The Negotiator,” “City of Angels,” “Entrapment,” “Fight
Club,” “Big Momma’s House,” “Don’t Say a Word,” “Daredevil,” “Man on Fire,” “Guess Who,”
“Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” “Big Momma’s House 2” and “Date Movie.”
Upcoming projects include: “Firehouse Dog,” a family comedy starring Josh Hutcherson,
Bruce Greenwood, Dash Mihok, Steven Culp and Bree Turner, directed by Todd Holland; “Jumper,”
a sci-fi action-adventure starring Hayden Christensen, Rachel Bilson, Jamie Bell, and Samuel L.
Jackson, directed by Doug Liman; “Dallas,” based on the television phenomenon starring John
Travolta, directed by Gurinder Chadha; and “Shutter,” a horror-thriller directed by Masayuki Ochiai
Along the way, Milchan brought on board two powerful investors and partners who share his
vision: Nine Network and Twentieth Century Fox. Fox distributes Regency movies in all media
worldwide (excluding an output arrangement Regency has in Germany), including on U.S. pay
television, and international pay and free television.
Milchan also successfully diversified his company’s activities within the sphere of
entertainment, most specifically in the realm of television through Regency Television (“Malcolm in
the Middle,” “The Bernie Mac Show”). Regency recently acquired a stake in Channel 10,
BabyFirstTV, and an Israeli TV network. In addition, Regency holds television rights to Sony
Ericsson Women’s Tennis Association events.
RODNEY LIBER (Executive Producer) recently collaborated with director Paul Weitz
as producer of the comedy “American Dreamz,” starring Hugh Grant and Dennis Quaid, and as
executive producer of the critically acclaimed drama “In Good Company,” also starring Quaid,

teamed with Schultz on Twentieth Century Fox’s “Like Mike,” and on the independent feature
“When Zachary Beaver Came to Town.” Two of Maurer’s feature films, “The Big Empty” and
“Show and Tell,” were selected for Kodak’s First Look Series, which showcases notable
independent films by first-time directors.
Maurer’s first feature for a major studio, the cheerleading drama “Bring It On,” was a
box-office hit for Universal Pictures.
