Steve called me in 2018 and said, Hey, you want to do this show with me?
Ive got two words: Space Force.
And I was like, Yeah, cool!
[Laughs] And we pitched that really fast and sold it without a script.
If onlyUploadcould have been that easy.
“It reminds me of animation but it’s more expensive,” cracks theKing of the Hillco-creator.
“Sometimes its hard in Hollywood to do something different than what youve done in the past.
“You hear Greg Daniels and youre like, ‘Okay, great, Ill play a tree.
Im in,’ says Amell, who is best known for starring as Ronnie Raymond onThe Flash.
“Nora really just fit like a glove,” says Allo, a musician andPitch Perfect 3alum.
“They can become friends before anything else happens.
They can really be themselves around each other, and I think its beautiful.”
“I would absolutely love to upload and just be on permanent vacation,” says Allo.
Amell interrupts, “You’re back on the beach again?”
He references her previously wanting to upload to a Persian vacation.
“You just want to travel!”
She fires back at his plan to upload to Lakeview and work there to keep busy.
Daniels doesn’t have to think about his choice he’s already built it.
“The show is set in my preferred choice of afterlife,” he says.
And that maybe they would give it to me for free because I gave them the idea.”
Maybe come season 2 renegotiations?
“I should put that in the contract.”
