Screenwriter Bert V. Royal on finding the right leading lady…
“The really scary thing, because I’d fallen so in love with the character of Olive, I was really afraid of who was going to play her. There’s very few actresses who could do a great job with this part. They called me and said what do you think about Emma Stone and I was like, ‘Done!’ … This is the movie that’s gonna make everyone know who she is. I think it’s the perfect role for her and she’s perfect in it. I’m so excited to see her skyrocket.”
