There’s been a surge of good romantic comedies hitting the 2024 film launch schedule, and certainly one of them starred none aside from Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. The 2 have spoken fondly of each other and appeared to have an excellent time on set, however that was much more true when Johansson’s husband Colin Jost was on set with them. In reality, apparently, he’s even chargeable for some “humorous” stuff that ended up hitting the reducing room flooring.
For those who’ve seen Fly Me To The Moon, it’s possible you’ll keep in mind that Jost does seem within the film in a small cameo. He performs a clueless senator, but it surely wasn’t his spouse’s concept to have him seem within the film. That honor goes to director Greg Berlanti, who informed USA Immediately he requested if Jost might present up on set. He was very pleased with what the funnyman dropped at the the desk. If solely extra might have made the film…
[Jost] was such a deal with. I received to know him socially by Scarlett, and I used to be the one begging, ‘Will he simply are available in?’ Colin had all people in stitches; there are lots of outtakes. There’s a really humorous one the place he appears to be like at Scarlett and Channing and says, ‘Is one thing happening between you guys?’ All this off-the-cuff stuff that was actually humorous.
It sounds prefer it was an excellent drawback to have. When somebody is so dang humorous you’ve got a number of post-credits sequences or outtakes, an excellent director will be capable of decide and select the perfect stuff to place into the film. Or additionally, generally, whether or not as a consequence of time or continuity restrictions, a few of the finest stuff would not even make the film and can present up later in bonus content material for potential DVD or streaming releases.
Regardless, even with out Berlanti’s remark, it’s very clear having the SNL star round on set was an enormous freaking constructive. In reality, Channing Tatum even mentioned earlier this yr that having Jost round was simply superior, as a result of they by no means get the prospect to actually work collectively. Tatum additionally famous being humorous is “so arduous” and he “admire[s]” Jost a lot for with the ability to simply flip the humorous on.
Which leads me to the query: Might Colin Jost and Scarlett Johansson star in a comedy collectively someday down the road? Clearly they will combine the enterprise and private stuff in small doses, however I’d have an interest to see them really star in a complete film sooner or later. For now, all we’ve is Fly Me To The Moon.
Talking of the film although, Fly Me To The Moon could be streamed with an Apple TV+ subscription this weekend (December6) if you wish to see Jost convey the humorous and luxuriate in what is predicted to be the streaming service’s huge vacation film launch this yr.
