RadioTimes.com<\/a> on her initial reaction to the script. \u201cI laughed my arse off and couldn\u2019t stop, I wanted to do it immediately.<\/p>\n\u201cI read it in the middle of COVID and it just brought me so much joy,\u201d she continued. \u201cI laughed out loud repeatedly and I thought \u2018I need that\u2019 and I feel the world might need that, too.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Estate features an incredible ensemble cast made up of Anna Faris, David Duchovny, Rosemarie DeWitt, Ron Livingston and the legendary Kathleen Turner \u2013 whom Faris described working with as \u201cterrifying and wonderful\u201d.<\/p>\n
And Faris, of Scary Movie and House Bunny fame, added that one of the major draws of working on the movie was the opportunity to work with Collette.<\/p>
The pair play sisters Savanna [Faris] and Macey [Collette], who run a struggling cafe together and are in desperate need of money, and the dynamic is reminiscent of a modern-day Odd Couple \u2013 with their polar opposite personalities working very well on screen.<\/p>\n
Talking about developing this dynamic, Faris explained: \u201cI just clung onto Toni all the time, I was so thrilled when I got the script and Toni was attached. It has been a lifelong goal to work with her and I just instantly was like a baby koala with her, \u2018I don\u2019t want to let you go ever.’\u201d<\/p>\n
Collette added: \u201cIt was a really short shoot and I don\u2019t know if we magicked it up or it came naturally but we did become a very tight unit very quickly.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think we both loved the idea that this is a film about a love between sisters and they are just so desperate that they would do absolutely anything and we did kind of cling to each other. They really rely on each other, they are different but they very much need each other and we very much needed each other too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also starring in the movie is David Duchovny who plays Dick, the sex-crazed cousin of Macey and Savanna.<\/p>\n
Talking about what it was like to play such a unique character, the former X-Files star revealed: \u201cIt was fun from the beginning. When I was sent the script, what I loved about that character was that he had a kind of shamelessness to him, a sincerity in his badness that could almost be charming in some horrifying way so I embraced that.<\/p>\n
\u201cThen when I did my wardrobe stuff it all came together. I\u2019ve never been that interested in wardrobe but for some reason, in this case, I was. We pulled some crazy shit together and I pretty much dress like that now.\u201d<\/p>\n
