Are you a fan of Ricky? Was he the one that drew you to the project or was it the script?

TL: Well, actually, it's very funny, David wrote a script not that long ago for me with Greg Kinnear. Since then, there have been four other projects that have come up for Greg and I to do together, sort of weird. This was the first one that I really liked other than David's. We were holding out on David's because it's very funny, I once again, slept with the director to get the job and then the director decided that maybe he wants to be in it so I got fired which is really extraordinary, and I've got to continue to sleep with the guy after he fired me. How'd I get there?

Ghost Town.

TL: Right, thank you. So when this came up, the script, I really got a kick out of it and I knew that it was Ricky and Greg attached to it and I'd met with David Koepp years ago about another script that he'd written that never got going and there's something- - I get a real kick out of this script and I know I'm going to get a real kick out of working with these three guys.

Tell us about your character?

TL: No. Really, I just decided what underwear she's going to wear and that's as far as I've gotten. It's always my first step, the undergarments. Laurel was a Haines lady.

JD: I wasn't involved in those decisions.

TL: No, you were not involved in those. No one, very rarely, anyone is involved in those discussions. She wears Woo. That's all I know.

When do you film?

TL: October, mid-October in New York.

Are you reading other scripts for after that?

TL: Well, it's funny. I actually have a project that came up that David and I have got a production company called And Then Productions. One of the- - we had a script over at Universal called Miss Captivity about a beauty pageant in a women's prison. And we're sort of hoping to shoot that I think this spring. It's a comedy, I'm glad you're laughing. But in the meantime, this project came up with- - it's a book by Pagan Kennedy called The First Manmade Man about a woman in England in the '40s who was the first woman to take hormones in order to become more masculine and then receive the first penis implant or addition. What do you call that, really, truly? It's not quite an addition, it's not quite an enhancement. Anyway, received the first penis. And it's a really incredible, incredible story and Ron Nyswaner who wrote The Painted Veil and Philadelphia is going to write that for us. He's very motivated and we're hoping to maybe get that going in early, early Spring.

You're going to be getting a penis?

TL: Yes, I'm getting a penis in Early Spring. March 1st.

Are the bodies in the morgue real cadavers or actors?

JD: That's always a complicated thing because you think, "Well, should we get- -" there's always going to be an issue of them breathing if they're real people.

TL: That whole thing.

JD: But no, it's very expensive to get dummies basically. They don't look very lifelike so they are extras from Winnipeg. Where they were breathing, we just digitally flattened their chest. So they'd look like they're not breathing.

Craziest thing you've done for love?

TL: I would have to say sex in a sauna was one of the stupidest things I've ever done. But David and I were in the throes of our newfound passion and don't do that. Dry heat, air, need air, quick get air, vomit, horrible, terrible. Anyway.

It sounds very romantic.

TL: It wasn't. For the first four minutes maybe, but after that, no.

You continued after it got uncomfortable?

TL: Yeah. Duh. But I was sick really. I felt ill for about eight hours after that. I think I was completely dehydrated. And then it's not like you have cushions in there. All right, that's it.
