Back in September 2014 I got the opportunity to visit the set of Jonathan Levineâs The Night Before while they were shooting at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn. The movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogen and Anthony Mackie as Ethan, Isaac and Chris, three high school buddies who have an annual Christmas Eve reunion. Theyâre sticking to it this year, but now that theyâre adults with families and careers, it looks like the tradition is coming to an end so they set out to make the night as memorable as they possibly can.
After watching the trio shoot the piano scene featured in the trailer, I got the chance to take part in a roundtable discussion with Rogen, Gordon-Levitt and Mackie to talk about their characters, the impressive supporting cast, embracing holiday tropes and traditions, the especially easygoing, friendly vibe on set, and much more. You can read about it all in this interview. The Night Before is due in theaters on November 25th. In case you missed it, you can check out the trailer below:
