“Oh man. Well, what I will say is we had a hell of a fun time making it,” he said. “There was a lot of laughs.
“The way that I’ve been describing it, it’s like ‘Game of Thrones’ mixed with a little ‘Princess Bride’, just a smidge of ‘[Monty Python and the] Holy Grail’; it’s somewhere in that ballpark.”
The actor wasn’t done with the comparisons to other classic adventure movies and comedies, though.
“It’s a lot of fun. It’s got a lot of thrills. It’s poppy, it’s ’80s heartfelt, there’s a bit of ‘Goonies’ in there,” he explained. “My character, he’s the ultimate party planner. I think it’s going to be really good. I mean, who f**king knows, but I think we got a good shot and John and John are killer guys. They know comedy and they know heart and we had a great cast and we had a good time making it. And that’s all you can ask for.”
