Director/co-writer of SomebodyIUsedToKnow DaveFranco talks diving into the world of rom-com filmmaking.
Throughout much of his acting career, Dave Franco embraced the lighter side of stories and starred in a number of comedic efforts. To the surprise of many fans, when he made his directorial debut, it was with the disturbing thriller The Rental, showcasing another side of his talents. Continuing with his trend of surprises, his sophomore effort as a director and co-writer is the romantic comedy Somebody I Used to Know, which he co-wrote with his wife Alison Brie.
I was absolutely about to say thank you for including an American Movie poster in the background. So it sounds like maybe that was your idea? Then with Leavenworth specifically, the reason we set it there, I have a friend who, her family has a house there, and so I visited it at one point, and I remember thinking, what the f-ck is this place? It's so unique and weird and wonderful. It's like a little Bavarian village. It became perfect thematically for the movie because you can imagine people growing up there where it is also isolated. It's in the middle of nowhere. It's got the touristy aspect.
That's exactly right. I think with both of my movies, obviously wildly different genres, but I really attempted with both to tap into the vibe of the classics that everyone knows and loves, but then obviously wanting to do it in a modern way and wanting to subvert certain tropes where we almost use what we know and love about romantic comedies to lead the audience down a certain path, and then try to pull the rug out from under them and keep them guessing every step of the way.
Going forward, do you think it's like you're ticking off the boxes of all your favorite genres and next it'll be a historical drama and then a biopic or do you think there is more horror in your future? Do you think there's more romantic comedies?
