Nicholas Stoller has the uncanny ability to make heartfelt yet uproariously comedic films. This is especially true with his latest feature NEIGHBORS – which recently enjoyed an extremely profitable opening weekend. The Zac Efron and Seth Rogen comedy is a hilarious look at two very different guys who end up in a very personal and occasionally disturbing war. This family vs. frat comedy also features the lovely Rose Byrne who, along with Dave Franco, steals a bunch of scenes which helps make for one of the funniest films of the year.
Recently I had the opportunity to have a terrific, extended 1:1 on-camera interview with the writer/director. During our conversation we discussed the stars of his new film and the wonderful choice to use Ms. Byrne’s natural Australian accent. It is always a pleasure chatting with this talented fellow who continues to bring messed up yet fantastically funny characters to life. Plus he has a knack for picking the most adorable baby. If you have yet to see NEIGHBORS, I urge you to check it out soon.
