Product Information

JUSTIN THEROUX (“EVIL DJ”): Ben and I were friends at the time. We had met a little bit before that. And I think he just said, “Oh, would you do this small part in this Zoolander movie.” And I said “Sure.” I think the character was only in the spa scene originally, but then it sort of expanded. STILLER: Anna Wintour really loved the character and was really, really supportive. I think, for whatever reason, at that time people were very into the idea—because it was a time when fashion was starting to become so much a part of the pop culture world. JON VOIGHT (“LARRY ZOOLANDER”): I’m a fan of Ben’s. I think he was a very talented guy. When he called me for this thing, I said, “Well, I’d be interested, sure. Let me take a look at it.” I did, and I thought it was a very good script. And I thought the character was an interesting character for me to play. I thought I could make it work.

With the cast and cameos in place, Ben and the team he assembled—which included cinematographer Barry Peterson, production designer Robin Standefer, composer David Arnold, and costume designer David C. Robinson—began figuring out what the film would look like aesthetically. HAMBURG: We tried, even though he was so ridiculous, to take him really seriously from an emotional standpoint. To treat his issues seriously. That’s why there’s the coal miner and that angst with his father and that kind of stuff. Try to make it almost like this kitchen-sink drama. Are you pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking? Do you plan on finding out what that is? GRAHAM: They changed the premiere to the Paramount lot in Los Angeles. They moved everything from New York to Los Angeles, and they scaled everything down.

HAMBURG: At one point, Ben wanted to star in it and write it and produce it, but didn’t initially want to direct it.

For each scene, Stiller had to serve not just as the star and the director, but as a writer and a producer. The herculean juggling of tasks did not go unnoticed, especially by his wife.

Add a touch of humor with our Zoolander-inspired props, such as the infamous "really, really ridiculously good-looking" mug or the "Zoolander for President" sash. VOIGHT: I remember for my scene, I thought, How am I going to look more like him? I thought about doing prosthetics or something like that. And he said, “No, we’ve got these great wigs.” They handed me this wig. I put the wig on and said, “Holy shit. That’s great.” BARRY PETERSON (CINEMATOGRAPHER): It was my first studio movie. I think Ben’s directive was We want a young director who is shooting commercials and hip-looking stuff. I was shooting Super Bowl commercials and shooting cool fashion at that stage. So it felt like the perfect fit.ROBIN STANDEFER (PRODUCTION DESIGNER): Ben was working with a production designer and they didn’t really gel. So [art director] Stephen Alesch and I got this sort of clandestine call. And I went and met Ben one night in his office. We just talked about the narrative, the script, and the whole concept of the film. And Stephen and I agreed to take it over. We brought in a whole new crew. A normal prep is maybe three to four months. They were about to start in a month, so we had to really rethink a lot of significant sets. We just worked 24/7. With the sequel set to hit theaters tomorrow, the fashion industry during Derek Zoolander's runway absence has done little in the way of taking itself less seriously - highlighted by controversial moments, creative directors being replaced with the frequency of toothbrushes, and H&M x Balmain's collaboration that turned people into gold-leaf-clad lunatics. STILLER: Honestly for me, it was watching what Mike Myers did with Austin Powers. I was a big fan of that movie, and seeing how he created this really over-the-top character that is sustained for a whole movie made me think that it could be a movie.
