“Chemistry can’t be topped so this should be fire, nothing better than a married couple in a movie.”
Behind the Scenes Insights from Franco and Brie
In a recent interview with Deadline following the Sundance premiere in January 2025, Franco elaborated on how the project came to fruition. He revealed that Michael Shanks approached him after viewing *The Rental*, sparking the idea for Franco and Brie to collaborate on this film:
“We bonded over horror movies, he had seen *The Rental*, (and said) ‘I actually have something else you’d be good for.’ I read it and loved it. I turned to her immediately and said, ‘We need to do this immediately.'”
Franco also expressed their careful selection of projects as a couple, stating they want to maintain viewer interest:
“We’ve been approached to act in many different projects together; we’re very selective. We don’t want people seeing us on screen too often where they become sick of us. This one felt right; not only was the script incredible, but our characters have been together over a decade, our relationship felt like it could lend itself in a nice way.”
As excitement builds, *Together* is set for theatrical release on August 1, according to a report from People.
