Long Shot, in theaters May 3, isnt so brash as to name-drop President Trump.
The story also features anuncommonly handsome Canadian Prime Minister(Alexander Skarsgard) and hilarious riffs onFox & Friends.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: This is the culmination of a long process.
Philippe Bossé/Lionsgate
Comedy, especially in this genre, is something that Im not necessarily that experienced with.
All of those things were positives for me to really want to figure it out.
I didnt want to stop the process, for sure.
There arent a lot of sequels or reboots between the two of you.
Sometimes its nice to see those kinds of movies, sometimes its also nice to see original movies.
You see from things like us, people really like original work and are excited when something comes.

I found that is very powerful in movies.
And that was a thing that we just talked a lot about.
I think just the acknowledgment is very powerful for people and very nice.You see people appreciate it.
So we focused on things that, regardless of your political beliefs, they are just factual.
Is the emotion clear?
Is it born of that?
Then its just having good joke writers and coming up with funny jokes.
Dan Sterling has been involved with bothThe InterviewandLong Shot.
I definitely understand these movies are very different, but they also play with politics on different levels.
What we learned is, were not doing that again.
Do I wish Boyz II Men had a busier schedule?
In some ways, yes.
But for us it worked out very conveniently.
Theyre Boyz II Men!
Theyve been Boyz II Men for a while.
Lets be honest, theyre Men now!
Who do you replace Boyz II Men with?
And if you say All-4-One, Im gonna reach through this screen!
No, there is no replacement, but I Swear is a good song.
Is that right?ROGEN: Dont mention anything Charlize did!THERON: Whatever!
But hands down the most embarrassing moment of my life that I will ever experience on a set.
I think I lost 10 pounds that day sweating.
It turns out that Im a terrible singer.ROGEN: You would never have known.
It was a structural issue.THERON: I thought I was a bad singer.
I have an Academy Award.
It was really a bad day for me.
I also loved that scene where Charlotte has to defuse a hostage situation while being incredibly high.
I, for some reason, was really struggling with my energy level.
I just did too much Molly for research.
[To EW] And at that point, it doesnt feel funny anymore.
There are so many times where Im like, This sucks!
And it is actually funny and it does not feel funny to pretend.
Its the inverse of actually being high, where everything feels funny but it isnt.
