ニューヨーク・タイムズさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニューヨーク・タイムズInstagram)「Why did it take Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumulo, longtime writing partners, 10 years to follow up on their "Bridesmaids" success? The 2011 film, which starred Wiig as a woman whose life is thrown into disarray by the wedding of her best friend (played by Maya Rudolph), was a riotous success. While putting its female ensemble at the center of a raunchy, R-rated romp and initiating a conversation about women’s roles in comedy, it took in more than $288 million at the worldwide box office and earned the pair an Academy Award nomination for their screenplay. Instead of immediately reappearing in a follow-up collaboration, the two friends pursued individual projects. But they were not taking a vacation from their partnership. Wiig and Mumolo have spent several years working on a new film, “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” which was released on demand from Lionsgate on Friday. It features the two screenwriters as the title characters, a pair of well-meaning if blissfully clueless Midwesterners whose trip to a luxury resort unexpectedly lands them in a ludicrous life-or-death adventure. Compared with the somewhat more grounded comedy of “Bridesmaids,” Wiig and Mumolo said in a recent video interview, they wanted “Barb and Star” to reflect a more freewheeling and farcical spirit. “Silly sometimes is underrated,” Wiig explained. “It’s fun and it doesn’t take itself too seriously.” @anniemumolo added, “That’s where our heads were at for several years — because it took that long to get the movie made.” Tap the link in our bio to read more about the making of “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar,” how it grew out of “Bridesmaids” and the actors’ affection for the middle-aged characters they portray.
