How do you get actor Andrew Garfield \u2014 Tony Award winner<\/a>, former Spider-Man \u2014\u00a0to tap into his inner Johnny Knoxville<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Have the real guy on hand, said director Gia Coppola.<\/p>\n

The \u201cJackass\u201d <\/a>series<\/a> creator plays a small role in Coppola\u2019s new movie, \u201cMainstream,\u201d<\/a> out Friday, which stars Garfield as a charismatic drifter who becomes an internet sensation. For some of the film\u2019s biggest scenes, Coppola tapp<\/a>ed Knoxville\u2019s pranking advice. \u201cThat\u2019s really his art form,\u201d she told The Post over Zoom. \u201cAnd so much of the content in this [current internet] world is an homage to \u2018Jackass,\u2019 creating these kinds of stunts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hence, she features one scene in which Garfield\u2019s character runs down a major LA street, wearing a fake penis \u2014 and not much else. <\/p>\n

\u201cOriginally, this was written as a much tamer stunt,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I asked Andrew, \u2018Would you be down for doing this on Hollywood Boulevard?\u2019 And he was like, \u2018Hell, yeah!\u2019 And then he went further and decided to add a prosthetic d\u2009-\u2009-\u2009k, instead of us just blurring out nude underwear.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second film from 34-year-old Coppola, whose family name is synonymous with moviemaking: Her grandfather is Francis Ford Coppola, and her aunt is Sofia Coppola. Nicolas Cage<\/a> is one cousin of many.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her sophomore film, after 2013\u2019s \u201cPalo Alto,\u201d sees Garfield\u2019s mysterious, hyperenergetic character intersecting with an aspiring filmmaker (Maya Hawke<\/a> of \u201cStranger Things\u201d) and becoming her muse. Their YouTube<\/a> collaboration with her writer best friend (Nat Wolff of \u201cThe Stand\u201c) ends up bringing them fame, and the insanity that can come with it.\u00a0\u201cI was excited to have someone like Andrew, who is typically cast as the hero, for this character who\u2019s wild and big and crazy,\u201d Coppola said. \u201cTo let him run free and experiment with it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In another scene, Garfield\u2019s character, who calls himself No One Special, appears on a panel of real-life personalities, including infamous YouTuber Jake Paul, Japanese model and TV personality Rola, and makeup artist Patrick Starr. What none of them knew, apart from Knoxville as the scene\u2019s fictional host, was that Garfield planned to freak out, jump up on the table and appear to use it as a toilet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cut out that part in the script,\u201d Coppola said she told Paul and the others. \u201cWe only had one opportunity to really try and surprise them. It was fun to have Knoxville around to figure out how to execute it.\u201d <\/p>\n

Reactions to the meltdown varied wildly. \u201cRola\u2019s gut reaction was just to stay there. Jake Paul pulled out his camera. And Patrick just bolted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Coppola also cast her cousin Jason Schwartzman, as a sleazy agent to the trio. Behind the camera, she said, he was a font of support. \u201cJason is hilarious, he\u2019s nonstop. I ask questions, and he just runs wild.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

As for the director\u2019s feelings about online culture, she can sum it up in one scene: \u201cWhen Maya\u2019s character throws up [animated] emoji, that was how I was feeling. Inundated with content. I really needed to get it off my chest.\u201d <\/p>\n

After the vicarious cinematic purge, she said she feels much better. \u201cMy relationship with social media has really been relieved!\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
