Welcome to the O.C Snippets
A random assortment of Mischa-related screencaptures from the new Welcome to The O.C book. Highlights include:
• The casting process for Mischa. • The driveway scene in the pilot. • What are Marissa's interests outside of Ryan? Discussions on a storyline relating to her being a Mean Girl, and/or helping the girl Luke cheats on her with and gets pregnant. • TJ was originally supposed to have her drunk driving off a cliff and involved a cliffhanger with her to allow for Fox to re-cast Mischa if they wanted. • Filming the Luke / Marissa sex scene. Mindy acknowledging the Ben/Mischa chemistry at the start and how by the end they were not on good terms. • References to Mischa reading on set (gasp!). • References to her being isolated on set (I wonder does anyone ask her about this). • Mischa's concerns around the material and expressing her frustrations. • Mischa refusing to speak about the Trey attempted rape scene and implying it was very uncomfortable for her (and directly contradicting Stephanie in the paragraph above). • The original S1 ending involving Eddie, domestic violence and Ryan getting revenge and getting into trouble. • Potential idea of Marissa being imprisoned at the start of S3. • Josh suggesting Marissa could have survived the crash and sailed away on Seth's boat.
New Sepinwall interview in the Hollywood Reporter
New Sepinwall interview in the Hollywood Reporter:
Mischa's story was not what he thought would it be. Bleh. (at 28:00)
Josh and Stephanie didn't want to talk about Johnny at all and rescheduled multiple interviews in order to avoid it (this is not directly Mischa related but I lol’d).
In terms of things he was not expecting, Mischa's exit was the biggest in the book. Mischa was really reluctant to talk about her exit at all 😦
He describes his conversation with Mischa as "delicate" and the one he spoke to the least and required the most negotiating to get. "If she doesn't want to unpack her trauma with a journalist, I completely get that and that's her right" because of that she was very weary and simply did not answer many of his questions (at 30:00).
He had to get a lot more from others about her than she was willing to give him.
They ask him how much did the show's exit impact her career - and he says well the gossip at the time could not have helped but Mischa's mom was annoyed that Ben and Adam were getting movie offers when she wasn't.
Maybe showbusiness had decided they didn't want her before she was even fired he seems to suggest. Why would he speculate like this after also calling his conversation with her delicate?
Not only was Adam Brody considered for the lead role in Jumper, Mischa was too!

"she didn't even draw the card, but she just— just couldn't handle the life of having to kill others to save our skin. and that haunts me... cause if only i knew, then i wouldn't have married her... then maybe she's still alive... the purest thing i ever had. my soul, my wife." — daniel le domas
