The Greatest Showman movie
Fox’s The Greatest Showman, starring Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum, is a
big movie musical. There are acrobats and elephants and lions and Michelle
Williams twirling amidst her laundry.But two of the standout moments from the
film — which has songs written by La La Land‘s Benj Pasek and Justin Paul — are
actually the comparatively smaller, simpler numbers. One that has been singled
out in reviews is “Rewrite the Stars,” a duet between producer Phillip (Zac
Efron) and trapeze artist Anne (Zendaya) in which the pair sing their love song
while flying around the circus on ropes. It’s elegant and romantic, but
director Michael Gracey says it took a lot of work to get it right.“‘Rewrite
the Stars’ was incredibly challenging,” says Gracey, a commercial director
making his feature film debut.
"You've got this beautiful shot of Zendaya flying around Zac and Zac's in the foreground and it's just perfect. And just as she is about to sing the line that you need in that moment, the rope twists and her whole body movements and that line you want, she's away from the camera! It's like you're like, 'Ughhh!' And also a lot of the jumping and swinging and the two of them are coming together, there are so many locks of that being so awkward and so clunky as they do not quite swing past each other, they just slam into each other All of a sudden what is meant to be balletic and slow and wonderful is not easy, all of them suddenly becomes incredibly brutal and violent as these bodies go slamming in each other. That was a lot of things and a credit to Zac and Zendaya - they were so bruised but they just kept going again and again and again. "
