In 2008, the world premiere of a new youth comedy melodrama "Wild Child" took place (in the domestic box office the film received a consonant name - "Tearoff"). The director of the picture is Nick Moore, who has already managed to gain fame for himself after the films Love Actually, Notting Hill, Good Morning and many other works.

Storyline

The director has chosen a new genre for himself - a youth comedy. If earlier Moore specialized mainly in melodramas for women over 30, now he decided to master a younger audience by working on the film "Razor". The actors of Nick's new film are young Hollywood celebrities and already established English actors.

The plot takes the viewer from sunny Los Angeles to rainy England. Poppy Moore is a young girl who lost her mother five years ago. After her father's remarriage, she seemed to have been replaced, she became aggressive and impudent. In order to teach and reason with his eccentric daughter, a we althy father decides to place her in an English boarding school. Strict rules, refusal of chic, glitter and fashionable things is a real torture for Poppy.

Having entered the boarding school, the girl tries by any means to achieve exclusion in order toreturn to his native America. No intrigues of Poppy help, she is punished, but not expelled. She decides to break the boarding school's strictest prohibition - student relations. Poppy seduces the local hottie and the headmaster's son, Freddy. The girl herself does not notice how she is changing. In the boarding house, she begins to appreciate friendship, good relations and love.

Emma Roberts

Julia Roberts' niece Emma herself starred in the title role of "wild child". The girl is a typical representative of the golden advanced youth. She is beautiful and talented, it is not surprising that the director chose the main character without long castings.

At the time of filming, Emma was only 17 years old, but she was already quite a famous actress, she managed to star in many films and TV shows. In one of the interviews, Emma admitted that the actors of the movie "Otorva" remained close friends even after filming.

Another interesting fact: many of Poppy Moore's items were donated to the leading lady. The film's budget was $20 million. The main expenses were the cost of the costumes of the main character. Emma Roberts admitted that among all her works, the favorite is "Terrible". The actors of the film found a common language from the first days of shooting, it greatly facilitated the work process, made it fun and relaxed.

Alex Pettifer

At the time of the filming of the film "Junk", the actors and roles of which were thought out to the smallest detail, Alex Pettyfer had already played in "Thunderbolt" and in the film "Tom Brown's Schooldays". In Britain and in HollywoodAlex was known and loved by teenagers. The star of an English closed school must be a reckless Briton - the director decided so. Therefore, the circle of actors has narrowed significantly. The guy should have had an English pretentiousness, restraint, gloss. The director wanted to combine these qualities with a bright appearance and recklessness. All these features merged together in Alex. On joint tests with Emma, the couple looked very organic. The director approved this tandem.

Filming took place from July to September 2007 in picturesque locations in England. During this time, a spark really flared up between the young actors, and the guys started dating in real life.

Supporting Actors

The main characters of the picture are Poppy and Freddy, but without the supporting actors the film would not be so original and comedic. The young actresses who played Miss Moore's British classmates, Georgia King, Kimberly Nixon, Juno Temple, Lynsey Cocker and Sophie Wu, showed excellent acting. For each of the aspiring actresses, it was a career leap.

The role of the headmaster Abby was played by Natasha Richardson. The film "Razor", whose actors are not only beginners, but also recognized stars of British cinema, was the last video work in the career of this talented actress.

The image of the father of the "wild" thing was embodied by the famous American actor Aidan Quinn.
