“He pokes his head and he goes, ‘More jackrabbit,’ " he continues of the feedback.
Brie chimes in, saying that the note resulted in “a very funny scene.”
TheCommunityalum, 42, adds that she received similar feedback from a director while shooting theNetflix comedy seriesGlow.
“I have to say that actually is funny because in the very first episode ofGlow, season one, episode one, the first scene that we ever shot was a sex scene where I, similarly, was fully nude and the note was kind of the same,” she says.

Brie goes on to explain that director Jenji Kohan didn’t necessarily tell her to “jackrabbit,” but gave her notes like, “faster, comedy sex.” She suspects that her acting was a “little too dramatic” for the scene in the earlier takes.
The horror movie follows Franco and Brie as a couple that moves to the countryside and “triggers a supernatural incident that drastically alters their relationship, existence, and physical form,” according to asynopsis.

The flick marks the duo’s first onscreen return since co-starring in 2017’sThe Little HoursandThe Disaster Artist. Franco also directed his wife in the 2023 filmSomebody I Used to Know.
The pair, whotied the knot in 2017, are no stranger to discussing onscreen sex scenes with one another, as Franco’s 2023 movie ventured into NSFW territory.
Brie explained in a February 2023 interview withJezebelthat having her husband direct her sex scenes “doesn’t make Dave and I uncomfortable.”
She continued, “We’ve worked together enough now. The second movie that we did together ever, as actors, was Jeff Baena’sThe Little Hours, and in that movie, Dave has make-out or sex scenes with three other actors and me. So, I just feel like that was the ripping of the band-aid.”
Togetherdoes not yet have a release date.
