In the new comedy THE LAYOVER, two best friends discover the lengths they’ll both go to when a man gets between them. Directed by the incredibly talented William H. Macy, the film stars Alexandra Daddario, Kate Upton and Matt Barr. This sweet, and occasionally crude, comedy is a funny tale, and the film’s stars are very engaging. Let’s be honest, it would be impossible not to be a little taken with both Upton and Daddorio on-screen.
Recently, we spoke to both Daddario and Upton, and needless to say it was a very pleasant experience. The two opened up about playing best friends, and finding the right chemistry between them. They also discussed working with Macy as a director. Alexandra added to the conversation one of the more specific notes he gave her for a hilarious sex scene.
Afterwards, I sat down with Mr. Macy and Matt Barr. It is beyond impressive to me the many layers of Macy as an actor, and as a filmmaker. With this and RUDDERLESS, he is making some intriguing choices. He opened up about taking on a female driven buddy comedy. And while this is the ladies’ flick, Matt Barr is along for a bit of trouble. The actor talked about playing the man that comes between the girls, and working with with such an impressive talent behind the camera.
