Are you slightly exhausted by the summer action-film grind?
Check outThe Intervention in theaters this weekend for a nice bit of counter-programming.
We caught up with Duvall to talk Sundance, fast shooting schedules, and the genius of Melanie Lynskey.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: People have been freaking out about this movie since January!
Im just so grateful I still cant believe it.
It still feels so surreal.
Where did this idea come from?
Because its a hilarious set-up for a film.
I was using other people as a distraction from my own problems.
It really helped me get to a better place in my life.
What a disaster that could be!
No one really knows whats going on in anyone elses life.
She seemed weird right?
[Laughs] Its hard to not do that sometimes.
How long was your shoot?
Melanie Lynskey won an award at Sundace and the two of you are great friends, right?
I wrote it for Melanie.
We met when we were 21 years old Melanie is one of the funniest people I know.
Writing her character made me laugh and it inspired me.
When we heard the film got into Sundance we both cried.
