Anna Kendrick took advantage of a truly captive audience at the Toronto International Film Festival, videoing herself and other passengers getting stuck in a crowded elevator. She and her team were on their way to an event for her new movie, “Alice, Darling,” when the elevator stopped between floors.
It was a calm ordeal, with Kendrick cracking jokes the entire time. As she videoed one woman chewing gum, Kendrick said, “Guys we have to ration the limited food supply that we have.” Firefighters reached the elevator from above and lowered a ladder for the riders to climb out, which prompted Kendrick to say she was thankful she wasn’t wearing a short skirt.
