For the stars Rachel McAdams\u00a0and Dylan O\u2019Brien, getting pelted by Raimi himself is something of a badge of honor.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will not allow anyone else to be the gunk-thrower,\u201d says McAdams. \u201cI thought he was kidding the first time, when he threw a bucket of water in my face when the plane goes into the water. Nope! He takes his job very seriously. He practices. He rehearses.\u201d<\/p>\n
McAdams had \u201ca lot, a lot, a lot\u201d of blood thrown on her. \u201cHe\u2019d say, \u2018More! That\u2019s not enough!\u2019 We\u2019re like, \u2018You\u2019re getting greedy now.\u2019 Like, any sane person would know that there\u2019s a lot of blood.\u201d<\/p>\n
