To celebrate the release of BAD NEIGHBOURS on DVD and Blu-ray from 8th September, with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, we’ve got an exclusive interview for THN readers.
Go to war with next door with Seth Rogen (Knocked Up, Superbad) Rose Byrne (The Internship, Bridesmaids) and Zac Efron (17 Again, That Awkward Moment) as you’ve never seen him before, in outrageous comedy Bad Neighbours. From the guys who brought you This is the End and the director of Forgetting Sarah Marshall , don’t miss one of the craziest and funniest comedies of the year, Bad Neighbours, when it is released on Blu-ray and DVD on 8th September 2014.
Here’s what they had to say on their thoughts behind the movie, and keep an eye out for our exclusive behind-the-scenes clip this week!
Q: This movie is looking at immaturity — the frat guys not wanting to grow up, and the adults having to grow up while raising a kid. Do you personally relate to that at all?
Seth Rogen: To some degree, yeah. I think inherently I have been working since I was a teenager, and there have been a lot of times when I had to grapple with the desire to just get drunk all day and do nothing and then the inability to do that.
Rose Byrne: Yeah, there’s a transitioning that’s happening in my life with friends who are having kids and seeing that. It’s really weird and cool and bizarre when it’s more of a party couple who have to settle down. Everybody does it differently, so it’s interesting to see it unfold.
Q: Rose Byrne, you have worked in horror, and I love the Insidious movies. They have kept me up at night. Horror and comedy are two genres that are hard to pull off because you have to keep the intensity up in different ways. Are there any lessons you could take from that, going from a horror film to a comedy?
RB: In a sense, it’s timing. Horror is timing — the fear of ahh!, the scare, ahh!, the scare — and comedy is the joke, the joke, the joke. So that sense they are similar, but obviously they are trying to achieve very different things.
Q: The laugh relief after you get freaked out.
RB: That’s always interesting when you get so scared you start to laugh.
Bad Neighbours is released on Blu-ray and DVD on 8th September 2014.
