Alison Brie and husband, Dave Franco, co-wrote Somebody I Used to Know. The couple wrote the story during the heights of the pandemic when everyone’s just staying home. While they were writing, the pair already had Danny Pudi in mind for the film’s male lead. Brie confessed that the reason they chose Pudi for the role was because she knew that they had undeniable chemistry on-screen.
Brie said “We wrote the role for him. You can’t fake that history with someone. And it felt like we haven’t missed a day apart. Danny and I have remained incredibly close. He’s one of my best friends, so it was just like being on the set of ‘Community.’ We were back for our silly antics and Dave filmed a lot of them and put them in the movie.”
Pudi agreed and said “That was the joy of it. We really wanted it to be like let’s just play and have fun, and Dave is so cool and kind about being like ‘I want to use that, I want this to feel like it’s your friendship.’ We had so much fun being on set together in Portland for a month. We were like, ‘I can’t wait to get everyone else together.’”
