00:00Murders start happening at a very fast clip.

00:03Parade?

00:06Hi.

00:07Oh my god, I wish I had that kind of control over my career.

00:11It was really wild, though, that Nick and I spent two months

00:14doing this movie, and then a year.

00:16And I thought, this will be the only time

00:18I ever get this experience.

00:19Like, why would I ever be asked back to Rome?

00:24And then I got another job in Rome.

00:28Did I mention it was in Capri?

00:30Capri?

00:31Yes, she is in.

00:32We're all in.

00:33So it was so wild to get to go back.

00:35And strangely, another murder comedy.

00:38I don't know what's happening.

00:40I would say it was fun, blood, and mud.

00:47Well, that was really helpful that Nick and I were friends.

00:50We've been friends for a long time.

00:51And so when we got onto set and we were

00:53going to be playing this couple, we kind of already

00:56had a little bit of a shorthand with each other.

00:59But yes, it was very nice to actually get

01:02to see him and act to his face and not just his voice.

01:06That was a plus.

01:08The warning label I'd put on Dom is

01:10that he's going to seem calm and cool and collected.

01:13But underneath, he's a little bit anxious.

01:16He loves his husband more than he wants to admit.

01:19And boy, he wants a kid more than anything.

01:23And David and Brian, it's based in part in a couple stories

01:28from their life.

01:29And I knew them a bit beforehand.

01:31And then I know their son now, who they worked really hard to adopt.

01:36And so there's a real underlying joy and happiness inside of this movie

01:40that feels like a crazy murder farce.

01:44Oh, I mean, the crazy sort of turn that happens in this movie about halfway through.

01:49If you just saw, if you just started watching, you'd think,

01:52oh, this is like a fun rom-com with me and Andrew Rannells.

01:56And then there's a major turn.

01:58Murders start happening at a very fast clip.

02:01And I think that element is going to surprise people.

02:05But it also ends up being super high stakes, but also really funny and thrilling as well.

02:11You know, the script was really fun.

02:12We didn't need or want to improvise that much because the script was really well written.

02:17But David and Brian always gave us room to improvise, find new moments.

02:22A couple of my favorite moments in the movies are improvs that Andrew did.

02:25There's one kind of near the end where we've just killed our I don't know how many person by accident.

02:30And he's like, we can't do this when we go back to L.A.

02:33And it just caught me by surprise when he said it.

02:36And I just started cracking up.

02:38And we had to do it a few times before I could get my act together to finish the take.

02:43But there are moments like that that you just you can try to write, but you just can't find until you're in the moment.

02:48And I'm really I'm really proud of how funny the script was, but then also the moments that we were able to find along the way.
