The 'Emily in Paris' star tells THR how COVID-19 impacted production and what it was like to work alongside her man: 'He knows exactly what he wants.'

“He’s masterful at that. It takes a lot to make one location feel a million different ways. You start to feel stuck, claustrophobic and uncomfortable and it becomes a character in and of itself. We wanted to be creative.” And they all had a chance. Not only did Collins, Plemons and Segel produce the pic with McDowell, Segel also developed the story with McDowell and close collaborators Justin Lader and Andrew Kevin Walker. The four writers logged on to Zoom during darker days in the pandemic with creative juices flowing and nowhere to go. “Everything was shut down and we were trying to figure out, how do we stay creative? Where do we channel that creative energy?” McDowell recalled of the online meet-up.
“He’s weirdly calm under pressure and very solution-driven,” Collins said of her husband. “He knows exactly what he wants. He has a very clear vision. He can make decisions like that — super, super quick. If something changes because of unforeseen issues or whatnot, he’s very calm. He’s just about the end game; how do we get there and how do we tell the story in a way that makes sense, is honest and makes you feel comfortable.”, she left in the morning to go to set, always very sweet and bubbly.
