Alison Brie wasn't the first actress attached to writer-director (and former Harvey-Weinstein assistant) Leslye Headland's new romantic comedy Sleeping With Other People. Brie came on board to star opposite Jason Sudeikis after Headland's Bachelorette star Kirsten Dunst had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict.
But it didn't take long for Headland to know Brie was the right woman for the job.
Headland told The Hollywood Reporter at Sleeping With Other People's New York premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Tuesday, "We had a chemistry read with [Brie and Sudeikis]?I would say within 20 seconds of them beginning to speak I was like, 'Oh my gosh this is it, this sound is what the movie's going to be. It was really magical. I was like, '90 percent of my job is done.'
Brie added that she met Sudeikis for the first time when she came in for that session but the two spent a week of rehearsal talking about their own romantic pasts and beliefs about couples, which further helped them develop their ease together onscreen.??
