From the ice-caps of Antarctica comes the ultimate animal
kingdom
road-trip movie, FARCE OF THE PENGUINS – a hilarious
tale of two
penguins embarking on one long and desperate mission…to
get laid.
The Samuel L Jackson-narrated spoof
of last year’s
smash-hit doc
MARCH OF THE PENGUINS brings a whole new meaning to the ‘Blue’
Planet as it follows foul-mouthed Carl, lovelorn Jimmy and
their penguin
posse on their 70-mile hedonistic search for food, fun and
females.
Real-life penguin footage is voiced by a cast of celebrities
including
Whoopi Goldberg, Jason Biggs (AMERICAN PIE), Christina Applegate
(ANCHORMAN, THE SWEETEST THING), Jason Alexander (PRETTY
WOMAN) and Tracy Morgan (JAY AND SILENT BOB, THE LONGEST
YARD), who bring to life the raunchy script by US comedian
Bob Saget.
Whilst watching MARCH OF THE PENGUINS
with friends, US comedian and writer Bob Saget couldn’t help but add his own
voiceover to the penguins who “all looked like my relatives
in Florida walking to a deli.” It was here that the
idea for FARCE came from.
Saget, renowned for his roles in US shows including ENTOURAGE
and FULL HOUSE, brought his unique comedic talent to the
script, which he then sent to a number of contacts. On reading
through the first draft and explaining the concept of the
film, Saget was able to attract some top names to the project,
including Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg and Christina
Applegate.
Of Samuel L. Jackson Saget says; “He brought so much
to this film. I ended up using anything I could from when
he went off script or had an idea to embellish some existing,
more conventional narrative. He was truly wonderful to work
with and had me laughing throughout.” Samuel understood
the premise from the beginning.
The number of stars involved in the
film meant that novel ways of pinning them down and adding
their voices were necessary. “The
movie could not have been made without the internet. A few
with one or two lines did it on the internet and emailed
it to me.”
Hundreds of hours of penguin footage licensed from all over
the world was watched
and painstakingly edited by a dedicated team to find shots
that could be cut together to match the dialogue. “I
was concerned our editors were beginning to look and behave
like penguins.” The whole editing process took 7 months,
with the editing team sometimes spending days on a short
30-second scene trying to find the right footage to be ‘in-sync’ with
the track.
There are a couple of similarities between FARCE OF THE
PENGUINS and the film
which it parodies – a few of the musicians who worked
on MARCH were in the actual orchestra for FARCE. Though with
titles from FARCE including ‘Hoes in Here’, it
was likely to be a fairly different experience.
SOME UNUSUAL PENGUIN FACTS…
PENGUIN PROSTITUTION: In Antartica female penguins trade
sex for stones – a vital essential to build nests.
Prostitution is the
world's oldest profession. But it is the first time it has
been seen in
animals.
GAY PENGUINS: In Central Park Zoo,
New York two gay penguins –
Roy and Silo -were given a fertilised egg and raised their
own little
chick called Tango. The tale of Roy and Silo was even made
into a
children's book called And Tango Makes Three.
WAR PENGUINS: Nils Olav, penguin of Edinburgh Zoo, is the
Colonel-
in-Chief of the Norwegian Army… who said penguins
were cute!
SINGING PENGUINS: David Hasselhoff recorded with the most
famous penguin of them all… Pingu in ‘Pingu
Dance’. Unfortunately,
this received a limited release, in Switzerland.
