Bad Neighbours 2: Sorority Rising
,
Byrne and Rogen’s Kelly and Mac
have given up trying to be cool,
resigned to the fact they are married with a kid
and another on the way, courtesy of Byrne’s
own real-life pregnancy during production.
Director Nick Stoller can’t get enough of
Byrne, having first cast her in his comedy
Get
Him to the Greek
. “When she first came in I
only knew her from
Damages
and I was like,
‘Why is Rose Byrne here? She’s a serious
actor’. But she was just absolutely hysterical
and Paul Feig cast her in
Bridesmaids
immediately after,” he says.
“She has the face of a silent film actor.
Her eyes are really big and expressive and
she’s always reacting and doing something
funny. She’s pretty quiet on set but she
knows exactly what the deal is and can do an
impression of everyone. This is the third movie
I’ve worked with her on and I would work with
her on a hundred more.”
Bad Neighbours 2
mirrors where Stoller, 40,
is at in his own life. “It’s increasingly difficult to
tell these stories because I’m getting farther
away from that time in my life," he says. "My
way in is really through Seth and Rose and the
issues they’re going through. They’re scared
they’re going to be bad parents and scared
their daughter is growing up too quickly – all
stuff that I’m dealing with right now, compared
to the quarter-life crisis stuff that Zac’s going
through.”
Since graduating from
High School
Musical
, Efron, 28, has devoted himself to
comedy between the first
Bad Neighbours
,
That Awkward Moment
,
Dirty Grandpa,
and
upcoming movies
Baywatch
and
Mike and
Dave Need Wedding Dates
.
“Zac has this vulnerability that makes him
really funny and awesome in comedies,"
notes Stoller. "
Baywatch
is potentially more
of an action comedy and our movie has a fair
amount of action and you’ll see his skills. I
see it with a lot of actors, for example with
Chris Pratt who was very boyish and I think he
needed to grow a little bit. People want their
action heroes a little older and more grizzled,
so I think that’s what’s going on with Zac. The
minute he decides he wants to do action he’ll
be able to do it.
"He has the whole thing. He even runs as
intensely as Tom Cruise,” says the director
who surprisingly left the two funniest women
in comedy, Lena Dunham and Amy Schumer,
on the cutting room floor. “They get it. They
make movies and TV, so they understand when
stuff doesn’t work. The worst thing you can do
to an actor is put something in a movie that
doesn’t work. That would have just sucked for
everyone and I didn’t want to do that to them.”
Bad Neighbours 2
is out on September 7.
If Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen thought the frat boys were bad, then
they’ve got nothing on the girls in
