If you grew up in the 90s, it’s possible that “Casper” is one of those films that defined your childhood, but it’s clearly not a Christina Ricci favorite. The ‘Yellowjackets’ actress opened up on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, to which she confessed that she thought she didn’t do a good job and that, in fact, her interpretation of her is nothing short of terrible: “If you really see ‘Casper’, I’m terrible”Ricci said, “People get very angry when I say that, but I would add that it’s a wonderful movie, it’s a childhood treasure for people, but I’m terrible. ”
Although Ricci is very hard on herself, she partly understands that it was the fault of adolescence, that the turkey’s age is very hard: “I was 13. A lot has happened in my life. Everything has been very difficult. I was always angry and I think I didn’t try to tell the truth. With great shame, I must admit that I don’t think I tried as hard as I should have. Without much effort. It took me a long time to become a functional adult. “
“Casper” was released in 1995 under the direction of Brad Silberling and starring Bill Pullman, Eric Idle, Cathy Moriarty, Malachi Pearson, Brad Garrett, Joe Alaskey and Joe Nipote, with a cameo by Devon Sawa. The film, based on the animated series “Casper, the good ghost”, tells the story of a father and daughter who move to a haunted mansion where teenager Kat befriends (and falls in love with) the spirit of Casper. It was a huge success with the public, leading to the production of 3 sequels with totally different protagonists that went directly to video.
Before “Casper”, Ricci had already appeared in “The Mermaids”, “The Brothers of Strength” and was particularly famous for being the Wednesday Addams in “The Addams Family” and “The Addams Family: The Tradition Continues”. After ‘Casper’ came ‘Friends Forever’, ‘Secret Mountain’, ‘Ice Storm’, ‘Buffalo’ 66 ‘,’ The Opposite of Sex ‘,’ Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’, ‘Sleepy Hollow’, ‘Ally McBeal’, ‘Back to Hell’, ‘Speed Racer’ and more recently ‘Matrix Resurrections’, come on, an enviable career.
Upcoming projects
The last thing we saw from Ricci was ‘Yellowjackets’, the new installment of ‘The Matrix’ and in the US he distributed the horror and mystery film ‘Monstrous’. The next thing will be to repeat with Tim Burton in the ‘Wednesday’ series starring Jenna Ortega, in which she has a role that has not been revealed, and we will also see her in Michael Ryan’s ‘The Dresden Sun’ and will have him give voice to one of the protagonists of ‘Unplugged’.
