Anna Kendrick can skate.
Not as well as she can sing. But she got it done in several takes with the help of some crew as spotters.
Disney Christmas comedy Noelle is filming in Vancouver’s Robson Square skating rink as Phoenix’s City Skate this week.
What’s Noelle about? Santa’s daughter(Anna Kendrick) is forced to take over the family business after her Dad decides to retire and her brother (Bill Hader) gets cold feet ahead of his first big flight. Much of the action takes place in sunny Phoenix so far but production is expected to film at Whistler in the new year.
Kingsley Ben-Adir, Bill Hader, Billy Eichner, Julie Hagerty, Maceo Smedley and Shirley MacLaine co-star.
