Will Ferrell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus star in 'Downhill,' a remake of Ruben Östlund’s 2015 Swedish dramedy 'Force Majeure.'
“At first, it seemed like we were at the mercy of a lot of things we couldn’t control,” Faxon says of making a movie in a working ski resort. “The weather really does change so drastically here in such a short amount of time. We’re shooting in a place without a lot of familiarity in terms of filmmaking. There are a lot of different variables that I think were unpredictable.”
“One of the appealing things about the job is that structurally, it’s incredibly robust and getting a structure to work is, I think, for most screenwriters, the hardest single thing,” says Armstrong, who knewfrom writing on the first season of “Veep.” “Having a good plot to express the lives of your characters and that is compelling to an audience in itself is a struggle to find.”
Beyond making the family American, the filmmakers wanted to expand the role of the female protagonist. Whereas “Force Majeure” centers on how the husband deals with his reaction and possible failings, it was important to Louis-Dreyfus, as well as the directors, to ensure Billie got her due.
