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.
