Lily James says that she nearly quit PamAndTommy just before production started: “It just felt too frightening. But I think that’s a good place to work from because it keeps you growing and getting better, I hope.”
spent months working together on the set of Hulu’s “Pam & Tommy.” Yet when they recently reunited for a photo session it was a bit jarring to both actors.
The tape was shared and played at parties like it was contraband. Dubbed VHS copies spread across the world, as it was sold and traded on the then-brand-new World Wide Web. It later inspired a whole cottage industry of celebrity sex tapes, most of which were purposely leaked — unlike this one. “Pam & Tommy” is adapted from a 2014 Rolling Stone article by Amanda Chicago Lewis that finally told the true, although somewhat unbelievable, story of how the tape went public. Lewis managed to locate and extensively interview the man who pilfered the tape, Rand Gauthier — played in the series by Seth Rogen — and he revealed the implausible tale.
Limelight president Dylan Sellers optioned Lewis’ story and brought it to Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey shingle, and they immediately signed on — with an eye at first to casting James Franco as Lee. Former UTA agent and HBO exec Sue Naegle also hopped on board and brought along Annapurna, where she had just joined as head of TV.
Director and executive producer Craig Gillespie joined later in the process, bringing experience exploring how the media twisted the public perception of another maligned 1990s female public figure — Tonya Harding — in “I, Tonya.” “She talks really fast, and I would watch her interviews over and over again and annotate them, learn them and parrot along with her,” James says. “I wanted to get that energy and that impulsiveness and that spirit that she has when she’s in front of the camera.”James says her “Pam & Tommy” boot camp was so intense that, despite all the prep work, she nearly quit the series. “I really wanted to pull out of this a week before,” she says, adding her feeling was “‘I can’t do it. I can’t do it.
“It’s not easy to do,” Stan says of Lee’s signature move. “My fingers were swollen for a good week and a half. I kept hitting myself in the head with it.” The PR photo silenced any of the naysayers who had been questioning the unexpected casting of James and Stan, the latter just coming off “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.”
But we’re beating around the bush here. Once viewers catch Episode 2 of “Pam & Tommy,” they’ll all be talking about a specific scene in which Tommy, who had just met Pamela, wonders whether he’s falling in love — and discusses it in a heart-to-heart talk with his penis. Early on, “Pam & Tommy” depicts the carefree days of the start of Anderson and Lee’s relationship; the couple married in Cancun just four days after meeting. An intimacy coach helped James, Stan and Gillespie handle those sequences.
