Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Interview for “Hit and Run”

Independent Films, Movie Reviews, Interviews

So the last time I sat down with Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, it was for “When in Rome.” I can guarantee you that their new film “Hit and Run” is much, much better! Shepard wrote and co-directed the film (David Palmer was the other director), and his true-life fiancée, Kristen Bell, stars as his love interest. “Hit and Run” is a funny romantic car chase comedy, but above all, I enjoyed the characters.

In this interview, we talked about:

*** Why make “Hit and Run?”
*** Executive producer Jim Casey and Producer Kim Waltrip are from my hometown of Palm Springs, so we talked about their involvement in the film
*** My two favorite scenes in the film – the close your eyes scene, and the first car chase scene
*** What do they want the moviegoers to take away from the film?
