‘Saved!’ star Jena Malone reveals wild on-set prank that left producers furious

Jena Malone looked back on the chaotic fun she had while filming the 2004 cult satire Saved!

Speaking with People Magazine, the actress also recalled one prank that left production furious.

Malone revealed that she once “stole a school bus” during lunch breaks while filming the movie alongside Macaulay Culkin, Mandy Moore, and Eva Amurri.

She said, “I remember I stole a school bus when we were on set.”

Adding, “[During] one of the lunches, I stole a school bus, got all the cast, and we just drove around. I mean, production was so pissed. They were screaming at me, and I came back, and I was honking. I did all the things that I probably wouldn’t do today, but I was 18. I was tiny.”

The Hunger Games actress also shared another behind-the-scenes prank involving Culkin, revealing she once broke into his hotel room and turned all his furniture upside down.

“We definitely were high on pranks,” she said.

Furthermore, Jena Malone said that Saved! is one of the movies she gets most recognized for by fans.

She said, “I do think that it’s more of the high school films like between Saved! and Donnie Darko [that fans remember]. The people that watched Saved!, it really impacted them at a certain age or whenever they found it.”

“I get the sweetest hugs, and it’s potentially more of a cathartic fan experience,” the actress added.
