Justin Bartha & Nuked Cast
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT In Nuked, which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival, a group of college friends and their partners reunite for Jack and Gill's 40th birthday party. On a lavish estate, the friends take part in a cannabis-infused dinner party. As inhibitions fall, an alert on everyone's phones warns them of an impending nuclear missile strike.
Nuked Explores Relationships In The Heat Of Disaster Bartha became an executive producer because of the connection he felt to the story. He explained how, after Kashper sent him the script, in the midst of the pandemic, the two would discuss not only the story, but relationships and how they were impacted by the pandemic. This shifting of relationships in the face of death is the heart of not only the comedy, but the pathos of Nuked as well.
It was just funny and it didn't take itself too seriously in a time where we were all kind of just worried about dying and taking ourselves way too seriously. That was the jumping off point. And then when we started to incorporate all of these amazing actors, everyone brought their own experience to the script and the movie, and we ended up with just this amazing mix of all these different points of views of what it was like to try to navigate relationships during a disaster.
George Young: It was pretty clear that I didn't kind of lost the tempo. I was the sort of the buzzkill. But no, the writing is there. The writing was there and Deena, our director and writer, encouraged us to play with it and made sure we were all very calm. It's an ensemble cast, so you got to play with each other and just enjoy it. When I saw the cast as well, like Ignacio was saying, the cast was actually, for me, it was a bit intimidating.
And then you fold in this big surprise of a nuke that's headed towards us. So I think very soon after my character has this surprise, this secret, everybody has this balancing act of multiple levels of fear and loathing that are going on. So I think there's just 20 minutes or so where Jack is kind of sideswiped and has to be on his own and then everybody joins along.
Ignacio, can you talk to me about working with Deena and how she stands out from other directors you've worked with before? George Young: And Maulik will remember, Caitlin, remember from earlier in our interview that Justin said about Covid being that they were chatting about the formation of this film. Covid was that sort of reset button for a lot of people. People changing careers, people doing that. And this, the nuclear, that scare that we have in the movie kind of presses that reset button. Everyone's reassessing everyone's lives. Kind of what Maulik was alluding to there.
