This article about "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" talks about how the director, Ken Kwapis, got the four main actresses (Amber Tamblyn, Alexis Bledel, America Ferrera and Blake Lively) to bond and get into their characters.
The challenge, he said, was getting four young actresses who'd never met before to convincingly play lifelong friends.
And so, as a way of turning Blake, Amber, Alexis and America, respectively, into Bridget, Tibby, Lena and Carmen, Kwapis locked them in a room for an hour and a half.
"I told them that this was the last time they'd be alone together before the camera crew and the hair and makeup people came," he said.
He returned, 90 minutes later, and unlocked the door.
"But they chased me away," he said. "They just wanted to be together."
Once they'd broken the ice, Blake tells The Post, the girls were inseparable. "We ate together, we shopped, and we watched movies -- Harry Potter, 'The Stepford Wives' and 'Dodgeball.' We loved 'Dodgeball'!"
In fact, Kwapis says, the girls ad-libbed endlessly about the Ben Stiller/Vince Vaughn flick, and some of their jokes slipped into "Traveling Pants" ("Maybe someone can point out the references to me," he said, plaintively.)
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" opens tomorrow.
