In one of the scenes we witnessed, Jones's character ran, wielded a wood chipper, and generally battled it out with invisible apparitions for several lengthy takes. "I have lost 27 pounds with the [proton] packs and the running and everything," she told us. "It's pretty brutal. I take a lot of epsom salt baths. I get a lot of massages. I go to the chiropractor twice a week. I have to. I'm old — everything is breaking! I'm like Humpty Dumpty."
McCarthy, whom we watched being hoisted from the ceiling in a harness for several takes, oftentimes while hanging upside down, admits it was a more strenuous than usual set. "Our whole stunt department is amazing. [We get] a lot of bumps and bruises. The packs are heavy, and they are metal, so we've learned to, like, negotiate around those without destroying the other people."
