As part of the L.A. Times Live series, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Will Ferrell, Zoë Chao, Zach Woods and directors Nat Faxon and Jim Rash talk 'Downhill.'
Directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash, who are credited along with “Succession’s” Jesse Armstrong for the screenplay, “Downhill” is about an American couple on an Austrian ski vacation with their children who find the cracks in the marriage splitting into major fractures after a harrowing experience with a controlled avalanche.
On Monday at the Chase Sapphire on Main lounge, the L.A. Times Live series hosted a panel for the film featuring Louis-Dreyfus, Ferrell, Faxon, Rash and costars Zoë Chao and Zach Woods.“What appealed to me about it,” she said, “was the fundamental part of the story, which is, you’re looking at reality one way, and then a lens is taken off and your reality looks completely different. And I think that’s sort of the essence of this story.
Faxon and Rash complimented the Swedish original as they explained why they were involved in the U.S. version, and Ferrell elicited laughs from the audience when he said, “Well, I’m in the minority. I hated the original. I saw this as a real opportunity to finally fix the wrongs, to right this ship, finally. And when I heard that Julia was going to work with these guys, I was like, good luck. But it somehow worked out.
Searchlight will open the movie in theaters on Feb. 14. Louis-Dreyfus ended the panel by noting that, for all the comedic moments in“People make bad decisions. Good people — good, wonderful people — make terrible decisions all the time,” Louis-Dreyfus said. “All of us do. And somehow, how does one recover? How does one own these bad decisions? How does one tell the truth? And this is a movie about telling truth and owning truth, which is I think an interesting theme, today in particular.
