In addition, Juliette Lewis talks about doing ‘Strange Days’ with Kathryn Bigelow.
With Tate TaylorThe star-studded police comedy Breaking news in Yuba County opens in select cinemas and On-Demand this weekend, I recently spoke to Mila Kunis and Juliette Lewis about doing the black comedy. If you haven’t seen the trailers, the movie stars Allison Janney as a housewife who becomes a local celebrity after her husband (Matthew Modine) fades away. As the investigation intensifies, she evades a suspicious police officer (Regina Hall), a local news reporter (Kunis) who happens to be her half sister, an aspiring mobster (Awkwafina), and her husband’s deadbeat brother (Jimmi Simpson), all of whom want to know what really happened. The film also stars Wanda Sykes, Ellen Barkin, Samira Wiley, Bridget Everett, Clifton Collins Jr. and Keong Yes.
During the extensive conversation, each shared their reasons for wanting to be part of Breaking news in Yuba County, as the film has a little more violence than you might expect, why each of the supporting cast is an actor that you will recognize and more. In addition, Kunis talks about Family man and because it’s the best job she’s ever had, Lewis shares what it was like to do Kathryn Bigelow’s Strange days, and each of them reveals who helped them transition from successful child to adult star.
