I wouldn’t call myself a comedian, but it’s cool to be in a comedy. But it was a really supportive environment, to try all kinds of things. It’s an uncomfortable thing to do, to pretend to pee on camera, and then fall out of a window and get covered in shit. The bathroom scene made me a little bit nervous. But, I think it was shot exactly how it should have been shot. It’s more about how it’s going to turn out.

It’s not that I’m nervous about doing them, at this stage in my life. I always get nervous about sex scenes, in a way. I was very excited about working with William H. Was there anything you were most excited about and most nervous about, with what you’d have to do for this film?ĭADDARIO: I really wanted to do a comedy. We went out and had fun together, and I think that shows on screen. You have to have really good chemistry, and that worked really well. We all got along really well, which I think is the key to this film. I don’t want to speak for him, but I would assume that, even if you worry about it, you have to just do it. Bill has done so much work and he knows that, I’m assuming. for eight years and I’ve been acting professionally for a long time, and you realize that you have to prepare and work hard, but you never know what could go wrong. With so many layers to this film and what was required of you, in this role, at least you were in great hands because so many things could have gone wrong.ĭADDARIO: But so many things could go wrong, on any film. He is Bill Macy, and he’ll be Bill Macy, no matter what, so it created this environment where we just were having a lot of fun and it was a safe, supportive environment. A lot of what happens in this business is that you over worry, and it was really cool to just work with someone who was like, “You sound great! Come on, let’s do it!” He didn’t over think it, and that’s how he was on set, too. He’s been in this business for so long that I think the fear doesn’t exist. The Skype wasn’t working and he said, “I’ll just call you.” He called and we talked on the phone and, within 10 minutes, he was like, “Can you get on a plane tomorrow?” It’s incredible to work with a director like that. So, I had a Skype meeting with Bill, and it’s the only time, ever in my career, that I’ve been offered a job on the spot. They had another actress attached, and I think the actress fell out and they were starting to shoot the next week. Macy in the director’s chair the draw for you?ĪLEXANDRA DADDARIO: It was right before San Andreas came out. She also talked about how she decides what project to do next, how True Detective was a career turning point for her, her upcoming films, whether San Andreas 2 might ever happen.Ĭollider: How did you come to this? Did you just get the script and respond to the material, or was William H. Macy, her excitement and nerves over doing a comedy, keeping a sense of humor about having to wear a bathing suit on camera, and how natural the relationship between her and Kate Upton was. While they’re stuck and at the mercy of the weather, best friends Kate ( Alexandra Daddario) and Meg ( Kate Upton) find themselves willing to go to crazy lengths as they compete for the same guy ( Matt Barr).Īt the Los Angeles press day for the film, actress Alexandra Daddario sat down with Collider for this 1-on-1 interview about what attracted her to the project, how quickly she got involved with the film, the experience of working with William H. Macy, the comedy The Layover shows what can happen when a plane is re-routed from Florida due to a hurricane warning, stranding its passengers in St.
