Hi. How are you? Good.
How are you guys?
Very well, thank you.
Excellent. Excellent.
Congratulations on the film.
Thank you. It's it's. It's great fun.
I can imagine.
This was a very, very fun shoot.
Unless you have any stories to tell me
in which it wasn't with all these amazing people.
Emma, maybe I'll start with you.
What's it like for you guys to step on a set?
Not just a set where it's fun, but then you get all of these amazing pros
that have been around for so many years on a film with you does that.
It must be very, very exciting.
Yeah.
I mean, Luke and I were saying, like some of our favorite movies of all time,
like, every single one of these people has been in one of our favorite movies.
So it's surreal to have them all in the same room.
And I mean, we'd be lucky if, like, one of these people were in a movie
with us, and instead it's four icon Susan Sarandon, Richard Gere,
Diane Keaton and William H. Macy.
So we got so lucky.
And every day I didn't get old.
Like I would sometimes just be like staring at Diane Keaton
and I'd have to be like, Okay, stop.
You're being weird. Like, Why are you staring at her
is really fun.
And Luke, how is this experience for you?
You know, the Aussie coming over to to do an American rom com.
I was this experience for you.
Yeah.
You know, if I didn't feel like an imposter already, that was going to
dive it.
But everyone was so awesome and, and just the, the,
the film was so great in and of itself and the script so great in and of itself.
And then suddenly you've got some of the best actors ever bringing it to life.
And for me it was really amazing to kind of,
yeah, see, what do you think was going to happen and then watch this
amazing performance, Just create this whole other thing you never expected.
And for it to be just so brilliant.
And every day I would just just pinch myself that I was working with them
and, and, and yeah, it was just an absolute pleasure
and I kind of can't quite still believe that I'm in this film.
I don't know if it's me in the film.
I don't know yet. I'm not quite certain.
I. And also a
reunion for you guys after your after your, your Christmas film
that came out, I think during the It came out during the lockdowns.
Yeah.
But, um, yeah, I was just I'm just working with Emma on that.
So, yeah, when the opportunity came up again,
we really wanted to work together again.
We just wanted to make sure was the right thing.
And then Emma found the script and it was a no brainer to to say yes.
When she asked me again, I was maybe fishing for stories of
maybe one of Emma just going,
Yeah, I think we really want to do this one again with like, the pain.
And, you know, I was like, He's
the only one I want to do it with because I just felt like,
I don't know his characters that like we we haven't played
this dynamic like, it's so different than Holidate, the Netflix movie we did.
So I thought it would be fun to like, revive our rom com relationship,
but in like such a different setting in every way.
And also I'm like, Hello, look at the cast.
Forget about me, but I'm gonna work with with everyone else.
I'm a huge
fan of rom coms, but it feels like over the years, particularly in theatrical
you know, they're kind of not a dying breed, but there's not
as many as where they were basically when I was was growing up.
But still, there's still a home for for them.
Do you think do you think this is one
that kind of kind of maybe cross over because there's so much going on in
so many rich characters as well as the comedy in this one?
Yeah, I think this one's this one is really relatable in the sense that,
you know, it's it's aspirational in some ways, but then it's also very,
you know, blunt and real and like cringe at times.
So I think people will appreciate that with this movie a lot.
Like it's real, but it's also sweet and has heart.
Yeah. Luke Do you echo echo that that it has
elements of the great rom coms.
I think it's good all the good bits and then, and then also some new bits.
You know, I think it's really unique that we're saying normally in a rom
com we're seeing love from kind of one perspective, maybe
two people's perspective, and we're seeing one relationship.
And so it's for this to have kind of six different ideas of love in three
different ways that it's expressed in 3 to 4 relationships.
I just think that's such a
interesting way of looking at it, and I think it allows so many more people
to come and connect with one, or I think many the connect.
You always connect with more of the characters in this.
I think there's there's
something really great about this film where you've got kind of
such a range of, as I said, yeah, ideas on love and perspectives on it.
So yeah, I love that about this film where it's just expanding everyone's
experience of love in a way that I haven't really seen before in a movie.
Absolutely.
And that's my time up, guys.
But thank you so much for your time today. Thank you.
We appreciate it. Thank you. Have a good one. You too.
