The Ten movie storyline. Quirky inter-related stories. Standing by two tablets, Jeff promises to introduce ten short stories, each about one of the commandments. A man survives a fall from a plane and his fiancée marries someone else before falling in love with a marionette; a surgeon causes the death of a patient and in prison tries to choose his mate; a woman encounters Jesus in Mexico and later confronts her husband on the Sabbath; twins and their mother reflect on fatherhood; covetous neighbors miss a chance to be heroes; and, between each story, Jeff’s love triangle with Gretchen and Liz plays out. In the end, all the characters join in singing that it’s all about love.
Directed by Wain and written by Wain and Marino, THE TEN presents a series of interconnected comic sketches designed to reinterpret – and reinvent – the Ten Commandments, making them “meaningful” (and funny) to a young, hip, audience of contemporary sinners. With each story told in a different style, but containing overlapping characters and themes, the film is a grand burlesque boasting an all-star cast that puts the sin back in cinema.
Ten Things You Need to Know About “The Ten”
(The Gospel According to Director David Wain)
1) The Ten Commandments have been a cornerstone of our society for nearly one hundred years. Whether it’s taking a Sunday off, or not murdering someone, many of us follow the Ten Commandments every day, without even knowing it. The pervasiveness of these simple directives inspired me and Ken Marino to spin the tales that make up THE TEN.
2) In early June 2007, we began our exhaustive research. After ninety long seconds on Google, we’d learned not only what The Ten Commandments were, but what order they were in. We were thrilled to discover that all Ten Commandments were available – they’d been optioned by Universal but had reverted back to the writer last year.
3) THE TEN was adapted (aka stolen) from Krzysztof Kieslowski’s “Dekalog,” which was ten dark, one-hour dramas set in a Polish apartment building, each inspired by one of the Ten Commandments. Our version is much shorter and much funnier…and (mostly) does not take place in Polish apartment building.
4) Armed with our newfound source material, the characters flowed out of our imaginations so vividly that it was often the characters themselves who wrote the story! Each episode was different – Ken Marino and I just tried to think of unique takes on each topic. This is what we came up with:
– A guy (Adam Brody) becomes an accidental hero after falling out of a plane
– A librarian (Gretchen Mol) has a sexual awakening in Mexico with a swarthy local (Justin Theroux)
– A doctor (Ken Marino) kills his patients “as a goof”
– A police detective (Liev Schreiber) covets his neighbor’s Cat Scan machine
– A mother (Kerri Kenney-Silver) enlists an Arnold Schwarzenegger impersonator (Oliver Platt) to be a father figure to her children
– A prisoner (Rob Corddry) covets his fellow inmate’s “wife”
– A woman (Winona Ryder) falls in love with, and then steals a ventriloquist’s puppet
– A Rhinoceros learns the pitfalls of gossip
– A husband (A.D. Miles) skips church with his family to get naked with his friends and listen to Roberta Flack
– A man (Paul Rudd) presents all of these stories to the audience while struggling with his own moral dilemma: having to choose between his beautiful wife (Famke Janssen) and his also beautiful, but somewhat younger, mistress (Jessica Alba).
5) THE TEN, like “Wet Hot American Summer,” was a wonderful opportunity to use a combination of my “rep company” of actors I’ve worked with frequently over the years (all the members of “The State”: Zak Orth, A. D. Miles, Nina Hellman, Paul Rudd, etc), plus a group of my favorite screen actors who we begged to be a part of it (Winona Ryder, Liev Schreiber, etc) and rounded out by a lot of amazing actors we found through the normal audition process (e.g. Michael Ziegfeld, Novella Nelson). Working with so many different actors with different backgrounds was a huge treat.
6) Ken Marino and I conceived everything together. He and I creatively oversaw the entire production, hiring, casting, determining locations, script changes, costumes, sets, etc etc. He was on set every day, functioning almost like a co-director. He was also heavily involved in editing, sound, and music.
7) In creating a visual style for the film, I chose to shoot in color for three reasons:
a) Most movies these days are in color
b) Black & white didn’t seem appropriate
c) Black & white having been eliminated, color seemed like the only other choice. I used a similar process in making choices throughout the making of the film.
8) Filming each episode was like making a mini-movie, but much more complicated because we often had to shoot parts of different segments on the same day. It was hugely ambitious trying to filming ten stories, plus the limbo/tablets material, and the finale, in 28 shoot days on a small indie-film budget. Four of our shoot days were in Mexico, one in LA, the rest were in New York City. We had over 40 locations.
9) When the movie is over, I hope that people have laughed, had a nice time, and are thinking about where they want to go eat. I have no pretensions that this movie will change the world; my only expectation is that it will change the way everyone on this planet thinks and behaves.
10) Wain and Marino’s first collaboration was “The State” – an eleven person sketch comedy troupe that formed in 1988 and was best known for their self-titled MTV series that ran in the early/mid 90s. Members of “The State” went on to create on such projects as “Reno 911!,” “Wet Hot American Summer” and “Stella.” All eleven members of “The State” appear in THE TEN.
About the Cast
Jessica Alba (Liz Anne Blazer) fell in love with acting at a very early age, becoming active professionally at the age of 12. She began studying with acting coaches in Los Angeles and, shortly thereafter, landed at the Atlantic Theatre Company, where she studied with founders William H. Macy and David Mamet.
Alba first achieved worldwide recognition as the lead character in James Cameron’s “Dark Angel,” Mr. Cameron’s first project after the history-making “Titanic” and his first television venture. In the series, Alba portrayed Max, a geneticallyenhanced human prototype who escapes from her government captors only to live out her life on the run in the underground of 21st Century Seattle. In the series’ first season, she was nominated for a Golden Globe and a People’s Choice Award. She was voted the TV Guide Award as Breakout Star of the Year by readers, and won Favorite TV Actress at the 2001 Teen Choice Awards. “Dark Angel” has been a success around the world, helping to establish her as an international star.
Her early feature film credits include “Never Been Kissed,” starring and produced by Drew Barrymore, as well as the thriller, “Idle Hands.” She later starred as the title character in the romance “The Sleeping Dictionary,” a period drama which co-starred Brenda Blethyn, Bob Hoskins, Emily Mortimer, Noah Taylor and Hugh Dancy. Her first starring role in a major studio film was the 2003 release, “Honey.” The contemporary urban drama grossed over $60-million worldwide.
In 2005, Alba’s film career began to catch fire. She starred opposite Bruce Willis and an all-star cast in the provocative and critically acclaimed “Sin City,” directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. She next starred as Sue Storm ‘The Invisible Girl’ in Marvel Comics’ actionfranchise blockbuster “Fantastic Four,” which was released in July 2005 and became a worldwide box-office success, with over $300 million in revenue. Later the same year, she starred in the 2005 underwater action-adventure, “Into the Blue.” The combined worldwide box office in 2005 for “Fantastic Four,” “Sin City” and “Into the Blue” totaled over half a billion dollars. There is talk of a sequel to “Sin City” and the next installment of the popular comic book adaptation, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” opens worldwide in June 2007.
Alba has also completed the psychological thriller, “Awake,” with Terrence Howard, Hayden Christiansen and Lena Olin. She has filmed a role in the independent comedy, “Bill,” with Aaron Eckhart and Elizabeth Banks, and stars opposite Dane Cook in the romantic comedy, “Good Luck Chuck,” to be released Fall 2007. She has most recently completed filming the starring role in the remake of Hong Kong’s psychological horror hit, “The Eye,” for Lionsgate Films and Cruise-Wagner Productions, to be released in early 2008.
Alba has appeared in a several iconic and lucrative endorsement campaigns including the famous Got Milk? “milk mustache” campaign and was featured in a star-studded 30th Anniversary campaign for The Gap, as well as other prestigious campaigns in the U.S. and internationally. She recently signed a global endorsement contract representing Revlon, joining an elite group of beauties representing the brand, including Halle Berry, Eva Mendes and Sheryl Crow. She showcased her comedic talents as host of the 2006 MTV Movie Awards and she has appeared on countless prestigious magazine covers in the United States and throughout the world.
Although many would describe her as an exotic beauty, Alba was raised in a traditional American family in California. Her mother’s family has a French-Danish heritage, while her father is from Mexican-Indian and Spanish lineage.
Adam Brody (Stephen Montgomery) is a dynamic young actor who has crafted a distinguished career in film and television, and is quickly becoming one of the finest newcomers to hit the big screen.
