If you care about spoilers for Defenders you should stop reading right now. If you care more about an awesome WAM scene then continue on. . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . Elodie Yung who plays Elektra is reborn and emerges from a casket covered in black slime. The scene goes on for a few minutes and even features a slimy hug from Sigorny Weaver. It happens about 5 minutes into the 3rd episode.
Um......there's over 4 months left to go. Also I don't think that a simple black slime scene will work. Maybe a multiple girl scene featuring hot female celebrities that allow us average folk to WAM with them would be a good idea perhaps?
Elodie has spoken about filming that scene in an interview:
"The scene when Elektra comes back to life is pretty graphic in that she wakes up in a pot filled with blood and other stuff. It looked gross and according to Yung:"
Oh, it was. I think what they use is corn syrup or the equivalent, so it's very gooey, very sweet and sticky. I insisted on doing it, because to me, [it was] the resurrection, so I felt I needed to go through the pain and to be put in this coffin with blood. Luckily we did it in one take because honestly, this is not something you can do all day long.
It's something, and I was quite scared. I had to put things in my ears and then just stay three or four seconds under the blood, and then someone knocked on the sarcophagus [to cue me to get up]. And then we shot all night, so it was just being cold in this disgusting place. But that's one of the joys of doing something like this! [Laughs] You don't do this every day, and I'm down for this type of thing. It's an experience, you know? [Laughs]
This couldn't be WAM scene of the year for any year since visual media began. Not WAM scene of a leap year, not even WAM scene of a fiscal year. Sorry.
Love you, too
