| actor/comedian T.J. Miller with Jennifer Aniston |
While speaking at Entertainment Weekly's PopFest during a panel to promote their movie at The Reef last Sunday, Miller admitted Aniston put him in a playful headlock upon meeting him, injuring him by mistake. "The second I met Jen she immediately put me in a headlock," said Miller, "and then did a very strange pile-driver move, and my rib cage was broken. So it was sort of an immediate chemistry, I thought."
Miller and Aniton play brother and sister, Carol and Clay Vanstone, in the movie which sees her CEO alter-ego attempt to close down the Christmas Party at the Chicago branch of her company, which is run by Clay. However, the party results in the staff staging a wild bash in order to try and impress a potential client Walter; played by actor Courtney B. Vance's character.
The movie featured 350 extras who were told to improvise throughout the scenes, but one pair of extras took the instruction too far by mocking oral sex, resulting in actress Olivia Munn who plays Tracey, having to re-shoot part of the film. Munn explained: "We don't have too much time to shoot these things. We come out and we shoot it four or five times, great, let's move on. Wait...stop, stop, go back. There was a couple, they're extras, and the female extra was up on a filing cabinet and the male extras head was between her legs and that's what they decided to improve because they were told to do whatever they want."
Miller insists, "The extras were the most important part of the motion picture because they had to film countless dancing scenes without music." Miller clarified, "I want to be very clear that the background artists were the most important part of this film. They were dancing in the background, with no music, for 12-hours, a day, for weeks and weeks. Just silence."
