Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell discuss their 'flaw-fest' Downhill
. I wanted to do good by the original. I want it to have an authenticity.There’s a scene with Pete and [his work friend] Zach [Zach Woods] on their ski day, where a woman comes up to Pete and tells him that her friend thinks he’s attractive. Which, like, what is he going to do with that? He says, “What do we do? Should we send drinks?” And then she comes right back and was like, [] “Actually, I wasn’t talking about you. Just so you know,” with that European frankness.
I think that and someone willing to play, regardless of how ridiculous the words are, that it’s played completely real and…Julia, you have a pretty emotionally intense scene where you describe, in front of strangers, what happened during the avalanche. You bring in your kids. You’re crying. What went into shooting that?It was a thrilling and, at the same time, incredibly arduous couple of days that we had shooting that scene, which was about 12 pages long.
I feel like this film also plays with gender a lot more than the original did. As a producer, was that something you wanted from the top?Yes. It was an equal-opportunity flaw-fest, that our wife-mother character would also make mistakes in light of this crisis. They both make big mistakes in this movie. And then, how do they come around? It’s left a little ambiguously.: I’m a fan of “less is more.
