We chat with Collide stars JimGaffigan & dreadematteo about building their onscreen relationship in the new thriller:
Written and directed by Mukunda Michael Dewil, Collide follows a group of characters who have all ended up at the same restaurant in L.A. Despite being in the same place at the same time, they are oblivious to the crises going on around them and remain laser-focused on their own predicament. As their stories slowly begin to interweave, the night takes a dark turn that no one sees coming.

Drea de Matteo: Yeah, there were some things in script too that actually didn't make it that I was really happy about—we didn't have to shoot it.

Jim Gaffigan: Yeah, I mean, it's interesting because people have asked that. I always describe it as... Whenever I've seen Drea in something, there's this authenticity, and she kind of pops. And so there's a complexity there that is so immediate. Unlike other actors, I think that if I was paired up with someone, I would have had to maybe create a backstory. But with Drea, it's like,"Oh, yeah. All right.
