Transcript

00:00 The Romy and Michelle sequel, one of my favorites.

00:02 What can you tell us?

00:03 Okay, so Robin Schiff, the writer, is working on it.

00:07 She's currently working on Emily in Paris,

00:08 so she's finishing up her draft to present to the studio.

00:13 Lisa and I are wrapping up our deals

00:15 as executive producers on it with the studio,

00:18 and we're full force ahead.

00:21 That is so exciting.

00:21 What's one thing that you want to bring to the reboot?

00:25 Since you're an executive producer,

00:26 you're obviously so involved,

00:27 what's one energy or thing you want to bring

00:30 to your character in the movie as a whole?

00:32 I mean, I just still want them to be as relatable,

00:35 but also as dumb and lovable as they ever were.

00:38 Like, I don't think they've learned that much

00:41 in the time in between,

00:42 but they still have that unstoppable spirit

00:45 and that friendship and that idiocy

00:48 that makes everybody kind of love them.

00:50 And so that essential nature of them

00:52 and the heart that's at the center of that,

00:53 that heart has to stay there.

00:55 The endearing and the passion.

00:57 The endearing and the passion,

00:58 as well as the crazy fashion,

00:59 and just being themselves.

01:01 Like that real commitment to just being

01:03 their authentic selves,

01:04 even though they wrestle with the world's opinion of them,

01:07 but ultimately they come back to themselves.
