Movie release
Young
actress Emma Roberts (“Aquamarine,” “Valentine's Day”) stars in New Line
Cinema's hit comedy “We're the Millers” as pierced street punk Casey, who
rounds out the fake Miller family as the daughter David (Jason Sudeikis) never
wanted. He knows she’s practically homeless; she knows she can get some cash
out of him. So, they strike a deal for her to come along.

In
the film, David Clark (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer who, in order to
pay a huge debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms) must now become a big-time
drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the
arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and wannabe
customer Kenny (Will Poulter), as well as streetwise teen Casey, David devises
a foolproof plan. One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later,
the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that
is sure to end with a bang.
Emma
Roberts allows that her character “is a runaway and a bit of a delinquent, a
brat, a rebel, and in it for the money. The four of them, the Millers, could
not be any more different; they’re all kind of loveable, but each character has
a quirky shortcoming of some kind, which makes for a funny group. And a pretty
realistic family, I think,” she laughs.
Roberts
enjoyed getting to revisit the attitude she remembers from her own teen years
in playing Casey. “She’s so sarcastic and she’s miserable for a lot of the
movie,” the actress says. “So it was fun to get to play her just because I got
to do a lot of eye-rolling and huffing and puffing. I guess I went through a
phase like that, so it was fun to get to play that.”
Roberts
says her greatest challenge on the movie was being away from family and friends
for the film’s three-month shoot, but says co-star Jennifer Aniston helped.
“She was so nice,” Roberts recalls. “We hung out a little bit outside of work
and she was just the sweetest, most down-to-earth person. And I’ve always been
such a fan of Jennifer, so to get to work with her was really, really cool. And
Jason Sudeikis is hilarious. He was really funny. A lot of the stuff in the
movie he ad-libbed, and we would be dying laughing, trying to hold it in so we
could get through the take.”
On
the set, Roberts was frequently on her smart phone, tweeting, checking email, and
so forth. She even selected her character’s prop smart phone for use in the
film to match her own, real one, so she could use that when in the background.
“Very
cagey, that Emma Roberts,” director Rawson Marshall Thurber grins, adding that
“Emma is funny in a way that I don’t know if she knows how funny she is. She
has no filter, so she’ll say whatever’s on her mind, and some of it is truly
the most hilarious stuff you can imagine. She was fabulous.”
New Line Cinema’s “We’re The Millers” opens
across the Philippines on Sept. 18 and is distributed worldwide by Warner Bros.
Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
