Why Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Will Ferrell teamed up for Downhill
— though the setting of the film and the premise might hit a little too close to home for the cinephiles in Park City, Utah.
“I was a massive fan, of course, of ‘Force Majeure’ and Ruben Östlund, who was the director, was very eager, very excited about the idea of an American adaptation,” Louis-Dreyfus explained. “And there are fundamental aspects of this story that I thought would be really interestingly told from an American point of view, because the film is quintessentially Swedish in the most wonderful way. But I thought it would be fun to sort of riff on what that film is about, which is what we do, really.
“It was fantastic and we couldn’t believe that when we got together … we really hadn’t met before,” Louis-Dreyfus said of working with Ferrell. “And when we did meet it was on this project to discuss the script and we immediately sort of were simpatico. We work very well together.”
