In "Meet the Deedles," Phil and Stew Deedle are happy-go-lucky twins who surf, rock climb, and
skateboard-until their dad decides they need to learn responsibility.
Marching to the beat of their own Deedle drummer, they end up as park
rangers-and Yellowstone will never be the same. D.A. talked to Steve
Van Wormer (Stew) and Paul Walker (Phil) on the set.
What's the scariest stunt you had to so in
the movie?
Steve: "Rock rappelling- going straight
down the side of a mountain."
Paul: "It was scary entrusting our lives
to the guy who trained us. He told us what to do. And we're like 'And
you do know what you're doing, right?'"
Can you tell us some secrets about this
movie?
Steve: "For the scene where we go hiking
in the snow, the crew threw about 30,000 pounds of ice into a giant
ice chipper to make snow. Here's another secret: Paul and I had
painted on Hawaiian tans. We were actually the whitest people on the
set. And even though we filmed outside all day, we were covered in
makeup so we couldn't get a real tan."
We hear a bunch of prairie dogs appear in
the film. What's it like working with them?
Paul: "They have great personalities."
Steve: "They're better actors than some of
us. To shoot a scene, the trainers would hit a little beeper that
goes, 'beep beep beep' and a prairie dog would run in a straight line,
hit its mark and gets its reward. The director did that to Paul
sometimes- 'beep beep beep,' a little kibble and he would finish the
scene."
