Anna Kendrick Gets Stuck In an Elevator Hours Before 'Alice Darling' Premiere at TIFF

“I got in the wrong elevator at the wrong time,” Anna joked with People about the experience.

“I got out,” she added. “Some lovely Canadian firefighters had me crawl out the top of the hatch…it was, like, seven of us in an elevator just waiting to be rescued by firefighters. It was so absurd that it would happen on a film press tour that it just seemed so immediately comical.”

Brendan Fraser & Sadie Sink Share A Hug at 'The Whale' Premiere in Toronto

Brendan Fraser gets a hug from Sadie Sink at the premiere of The Whale during the 2022 Toronto Film Festival held at Royal Alexandra Theatre on Sunday (September 11) in Toronto, Canada.

The two actors were joined at the premiere of their new movie by co-star Ty Simpkins, as well as director Darren Aronofsky, screenwriter Samuel D. Hunter and producer Jeremy Dawson.

Speaking to press ahead of the premiere, Brendan opened up about his new perspective on his career goals and that The Whale helped put them in place.

“So often, I have just felt like a working actor who was glad to have a job: ‘What do you got? I’ll do it.’ And that’s a different guy than who I am right now,” he shared.

Brendan added, “In recent years, when I was a bit more reticent to step forward — have a life with kids and an oldest son with special needs another kid who’s going to be a senior now and another one who is (learning)to drive and he’s picking up guitar — I think it just gave me a sense of purpose that I don’t know that I would have appreciated as a younger man.”

FYI: Sadie wore a Stella McCartney dress and Fred Leighton jewels.

Kit Harington & Noemie Merlant Bring 'Baby Ruby' To Toronto Film Festival 2022

Kit Harington gets ready to snap a picture with a fan while arriving for the premiere of his new movie, Baby Ruby, during the 2022 Toronto Film Festival at Royal Alexandra Theatre on Friday (September 9) in Toronto, Canada.

The 35-year-old actor joined co-stars Noemie Merlant, Meredith Hagner, and Camila Cano-Flavia on the red carpet, along with director Bess Wohl.

Baby Ruby centers on Jo, a vlogger and influencer, whose life unravels after she becomes a mother.

Bess opened up to Variety about exposing the unsettling side of motherhood in the movie.

“It was really cathartic,” she noted before revealing she was also pregnant with her third child when she wrote this script.

She added, “It did feel really amazing to dive into this nightmare version of the experience. For me, becoming a mother was this complete fracturing of my identity and putting it back together. It’s been really joyful in a lot of ways. I couldn’t have become the person I am without that experience. But to look at the darkest, most twisted version of that good. Because in a way, when you look at it and put it on screen, you don’t have to live it yourself. I hope that [my kids] understand that it’s not about them.”

FYI: Kit and Noemie are both wearing Louis Vuitton.
