We spoke w/ billyeichner and Luke Macfarlane about BrosMovie and shooting two big scenes on the first day of filming. They also talk about making the movie in 34 days, their first chemistry read, and LGBTQ representation in Hollywood.
One of my favorite films at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was director Nicholas Stoller’s Bros. Co-written by Billy Eichner and Stoller, the film is the first gay rom-com released by a major studio and it features an entirely LGBTQ+ cast. And while that is fantastic and groundbreaking, none of that matters if the film isn’t worth watching.
Watch what Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane had to say in the player above, or you can read over conversation below. Obviously it is imperative that your relationship in the film works. What was it like doing those chemistry reads, figuring out who's going to be playing opposite you, and what that whole process was like also, for you auditioning for the movie?
EICHNER: I mean, no matter how tight our schedule was, if me or any of the other actors had a bit or a joke they wanted to try, he always made sure there was time for that.
