Zoe Deutch, David Wain and Ken Marino on Gail Daughtry’s absurdist comedy and its hidden Australian characters?
Zoey Deutch, David Wain and Ken Marino are here to talk Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass - a high-concept cliché machine that plays dumb so smart. It’s so bonkers and is so gleefully committed to its absurdity as it follows midwestern bride-to-be Gail Daughtry who has a “free celebrity pass” agreement with her fiancé — who uses it. With her relationship in crisis, Gail sets out on an epic journey through Hollywood to even the scales. In our chat, Ken and David reveal who they write their films for, what it was like for Zoey to join the Wain/Marino Cinematic Universe, why the films stupid premise meant they just HAD to make it and who the secret Australian characters are in the film.More Popcorn: Scat and a killer snowman: inside The Naked GunThe Roses review: Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch lead epic battleKnow someone who loves movies?
