MarryMeMovie director Kat Coiro discusses embracing the rom-com while adding a modern twist, working with J.Lo, and how she landed the gig on 'She-Hulk.'
From director Kat Coiro, the romantic comedy Marry Me follows Kat Valdez , a musical superstar who learns her equally famous fiancé Bastian has cheated on her just minutes before their wedding ceremony in front of a sold-out crowd of adoring fans. On a whim, Kat decides to instead marry Charlie Gilbert , a divorced high school math teacher who was dragged to the concert by his young daughter, and the two decide to figure out whether opposites really can make it work.
COIRO: I think not being afraid of the genre. There is something about the rom-com genre that people are always trying to reinvent. They’re afraid of the clichés and afraid of well-worn territory. I went into it embracing, 100%, the fact that we’ve seen people run through an airport before, and we’ve seen people hold up signs before, and that’s okay. It’s familiar, and it’s fun, and these are new characters that we’ve never seen.
Jennifer Lopez seems like someone who has a voice in whatever she’s doing and whatever character she’s playing, so it seems like working with her would be a real collaboration. How was that experience for you? What do you feel she brought to this that nobody else could have? COIRO: Everything I’ve ever done is heavily connected to music, and it’s something that I feel very passionate about. For me, this was just the next step in that journey. To be honest, I never looked at it as intimidating because I never thought that far. I never thought, “I’m gonna be part of this worldwide album.
Do you feel satisfied that you were able to achieve everything that you hoped and wanted to with that show? COIRO: I always find the heart of the show. Whether it’s TV series or it’s a movie, what’s that one scene that conveys everything? What’s that one scene that, if we don’t get it right, nothing else works? When I feel like I can wrap my head around that, I feel that everything else becomes easy. When you understand why you’re telling a story and why it matters, whether it’s a drama or a calm or a superhero franchise.
