Andrew Rannells & Nick Kroll Talk Playing a Couple and Filming in Italy

Murders start happening at a very fast clip

Parade! Hi! Oh my god, I wish I had that kind of control over my career

It was really wild, though, that Nick and I spent two months doing this movie

and then a year, and I thought, this will be the only time I ever get this experience

Like, why would I ever be asked back to Rome? And then I got another job in Rome

Did I mention it was in Capri? Capri? Yes, she is in

We're all in. So it was so wild to get to go back. And strangely, another murder comedy

I don't know what's happening. I would say it was fun, blood, and mud

Well, that was really helpful that Nick and I were friends. We've been friends for a long time

And so when we got onto set and we were going to be playing this couple, we kind of already had a little bit of a shorthand with each other

But yes, it was very nice to actually get to see him and act to his face and not just his voice

That was a plus. The warning label I put on Dom is that he's going to seem calm and cool and collected

but underneath he's a little bit anxious. He loves his husband more than he wants to admit

And boy, he wants a kid more than anything. and you know

David and Brian it based in part in a couple stories from their life and I knew them a bit beforehand And then I know their son now who they worked really hard to adopt

So there's a real underlying joy and happiness inside of this movie

that feels like a crazy murder farce. Oh, I mean, the crazy sort of turn that happens in this movie

about halfway through. If you just saw, if you just started watching

you think oh this is like a fun rom-com with me and Andrew Rannells and then there's a major turn

murders start happening at a very fast clip and I think those that element is going to surprise

people but also ends up being super high stakes but also really funny and as like thrilling as

well you know the script was really fun we didn't have to we were not we didn't need or want to

improvise that much because the script was really well written but we always the David and Brian

always gave us room to improvise, find new moments. A couple of my favorite moments in the movies are improvs that Andrew did

There's one kind of near the end where we've just killed our I don't know how many-th person by accident

And he's like, we can't do this when we go back to L.A. And it just caught me by surprise when he said it

And I just started cracking up. And we had to do it a few times before I could get my act together

to finish the take. But there are moments like that that you can try to write

but you just can't find until you're in the moment. and I'm really proud of how funny the script was

but then also the moments that we were able to find along the way
