Jon Hamm Reunites with ‘Mad Men’ Co-star for New Comedy Film
Jon Hamm and John Slattery are set to reunite for a new comedy film directed by David Wain. This exciting project brings together the two actors who famously starred in the acclaimed series “Mad Men” from 2007 to 2015.
Background of the Reunion
Hamm played a crucial role in bringing Slattery onboard for this new film. While Slattery was in Budapest filming “Nuremberg,” Hamm reached out to him about a role Wain wanted filled. Hamm believed that only Slattery could bring the character to life.
The Script and Its Appeal
After receiving Hamm’s call, Slattery contacted Wain for the script. He read the entire draft of “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass” in one night. At 63, Slattery found the script to be “funny and weird,” noting that it was a unique opportunity for him.
Hamm’s Perspective
For Hamm, the chance to collaborate with Wain and actor Ken Marino was too good to pass up. He expressed enthusiasm over the idea of working intensively on set, where the experience would involve 12 to 14 hours of laughter, despite a modest paycheck.
