Ben Stiller spoke with THR about what drew him Severance, why he wanted Adam Scott to star and the meaning behind certain decisions in the show’s haunting production design
about what drew him to the project, why he wanted Adam Scott to play the lead character and the meaning behind certain decisions in the show’s haunting production design.It came into our company [Red Hour Productions] a long time ago as a writing sample from Dan Erickson. In my mind, it seemed funny and interesting and weird, but it was based in this comedic structure of this office workplace comedy. That’s what I really responded to, and then Dan and I met and we got it set up at Apple.
What were some things in the production design that were important for you? I know that you had the actors train on old computers so they could get the feel for that. On their workstations, we just wanted to make sure that they actually worked so that when they’re doing this refining and getting a bunch of numbers and dragging them down into bins, they can actually do it. Everybody started to do it on their own, and it really helped, I think, just because they were actually doing real things while we were shooting these scenes.
