Together’s Alison Brie and Dave Franco on Full Bonkers Body Horror and Extreme Level Intimacy

Real-life couple Alison Brie and Dave Franco are no strangers to collaborating on and off-screen. The actors first played opposite each other in a rom-com entitled The Little Hours, and then proceeded to partner in the making of films like The Rental and Somebody That I Used to Know. Although they've received offers to star in projects together, they've been selective on what to work on next. It was only when they read the script for Together, a body horror indie about a long-time pair whose codependency is put to the test, that the two were immediately onboard. As both the leads and the producers in Michael Shanks' feature directorial debut, the couple were fully invested in making the surreal story tick—even if it requires them to be intimate in ways they've never been before.

While promoting the film at this year's Sundance Film Festival, Brie and Franco stopped by Collider's media studio at Rendezvous Cinema Center for a conversation with editor-in-chief Steve Weintraub. During their interview, the actors speak about the physicality of their dynamic in Together (with them even getting some bruises during filming), their collaborative experience with Shanks during their 21-day shoot, and the benefits of tackling a couple onscreen being one in real life.

The two stay busy, and in addition to celebrating Together, Brie also reflects on her fond memories on the set of Glow and teases her anticipated villainous role in the Masters of the Universe live-action. As for Franco, he teases Now You See Me 3 and what viewers can expect from his involvement in the adaptation of Colleen Hoover's Regretting You.
