A stroke of luck landed the 'Scream' and 'Wednesday' star in the crime drama.
The Big Picture One of the most highly sought-after young stars in Hollywood, it seems like Jenna Ortega’s career exploded overnight. After jumping from the Disney Channel’s Stuck in the Middle to the second season of Netflix’s uber-popular Penn Badgley-led series You, Ortega fully made her way into the mainstream through her roles in The Fallout, Scream , and X before stealing hearts around the world with her performance in Tim Burton’s The Addams Family off-shoot series, Wednesday.
As it would turn out, Helgeland and Foster first met Ortega face-to-face on a Zoom call while she was in Budapest filming Wednesday. With cameras still rolling, this was before the series had seen the light of day and would launch Ortega to the platform of global superstardom.
While the backing of a Burton production centered around a batch of infamous IP certainly helped push Ortega into the role, Foster says that her other projects gave her that extra boost with the folks at the top. “I remember having a conversation with the studio and saying, ‘Look, she’s got Scream whatever-number coming out and then Wednesday, and The Fallout,’ which both of us thought was just an incredible film, and she gave a fabulous performance.
Who Else is in Finestkind? Not the only star to grace the Paramount+ production, Ortega finds herself nestled alongside other names including Academy Award-winner Tommy Lee Jones , Ben Foster , and Toby Wallace . Finestkind arrives on Paramount+ later this year. As of right now, no trailer has been released. Look for our full conversation with Foster and Helgeland tomorrow.
