Jason Segel and Emily Blunt were like ''brother and sister'' while filming 'The Five-Year Engagement'.
The 32-year-old actor - who co-wrote and starred in the movie - ''knew'' he would have good onscreen chemistry with the brunette actress before they even began shooting the romantic-comedy.

He joked: ''I've often imagined what could've been with us but time played a cruel trick on us. We are like brother and sister but we got along so well that I knew we would have that kind of chemistry onscreen.''

Emily Blunt talks to Melbourne Times Weekly 03 May, 2012 12:11 PM Stephen A Russell chats to film star Emily Blunt in Melbourne about her latest role in The Five Year Engagement.

Director Nicholas Stoller (of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Get Him to the Greek fame) has made a film that balances raucous giggles and teary sniffles. Blunt attributes this to a fresh script (co-written by Stoller and Segel) that doesn’t pander to the lowest common denominator.

 “Nick and Jason wrote something funny that’s engrained more in truth than vulgarity,” she says. “It’s not this vague gloss you see in a lot of romantic comedies with a silly premise, where women are completely objectified.”

 The film is a study of relationships, and there’s real heart to proceedings. Blunt says the boys were far from precious about their script, positively encouraging improvisation. “You bring a lot of yourself to the table. You’re kind of writing it in your head as you’re saying it, so the character feels quite personal.”

 No rom-com queen, Blunt’s career has encompassed everything from a quirky adaptation of a Philip K Dick novella The Adjustment Bureau, to lush period drama The Young Victoria. One of her most memorable performances was as the catty assistant to Meryl Streep’s monstrous editor in The Devil Wears Prada, in which she revealed her uncanny knack for comic delivery .

Her retort “no, shan’t” when Anne Hathaway’s naively sweet character asks Blunt to wish her luck is bitingly cruel in a deliciously wicked way.

Emily Blunt: Jason Segel And Emily Blunt Talk Resentment And Passive-Aggressive Facial Hair In The Five-Year Engagement by Eric Eisenberg (CINEMA BLEND)

There’s an interesting trick that Jason Segel and Emily Blunt pull off in their new comedy, The Five-Year Engagement. When the characters decide to leave their San Francisco home and move to Ann Arbor, Michigan, Segel’s character, Tom, is miserable, but Blunt’s character, Violet, sees all of her dreams start to come true.

And yet, at no point in the film does the audience hate Violet for what is happening to her fiancée. But how exactly do they pull that trick off? I recently had the chance to participate in a roundtable interview with Segel and Blunt to talk about their newest project. Check out the conversation below in which they speak on not only the development of Violet’s character, but getting relationships right, listening to Van Morrison, and passive-aggressive facial hair.

Jason Segel, Emily Blunt in 'Five-Year Engagement' opens soon; can you spot Ann Arbor scenes? By Julie Hinds Detroit Free Press Staff

When “The Five-Year Engagement” opens April 27, there will be plenty of Ann Arbor-spotting opportunities — like the supporting role given to Zingerman’s Delicatessen and Bakehouse. The movie, which filmed in the Ann Arbor area last year, stars Jason Segel and Emily Blunt as an engaged couple who keep encountering speed bumps on the path to the altar. In the storyline, Blunt’s character finds out she’s gotten a job at the University of Michigan for a couple of years.

The film’s preview includes several snowy scenes of Ann Arbor and a few glimpses of the U-M campus. Zingerman’s is featured in the movie because it’s the place where Segel’s character, Tom, works. There was footage shot where Tom, as a Zingerman’s baker, is making loaves of bread. The cast and crew essentially took over the Zingerman’s Bakehouse on Plaza Drive for a day of shooting. They also filmed at Zingerman’s Delicatessen on Detroit Street, according to Pete Sickman-Garner, Zingerman’s service network marketing manager.
