\n\tComing off the opening weekend of her latest starring role, Alison Brie<\/a> is preparing to step behind the camera for her next project.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2x Golden Globe nominee recently revealed that she\u2019s making her feature directorial debut on a horror script she co-wrote with Alice Stanley Jr.<\/a>, which she describes as being \u201cfemale-forward\u201d with \u201cvery fun energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWhile we were writing it, I felt like I was writing it to direct it,\u201d she told Marie Claire<\/a>. \u201cI could see every shot in my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBrie added, \u201cI think women carry a lot of self-doubt and we have a desire to make everything perfect before we attempt something, or we learn everything we can learn. You want to really check the boxes and go, am I prepared for this? And at a certain point you have to just take the leap and believe in yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tStanley, who previously wrote for Busy Philipps\u2019 E! talk show Busy Tonight in 2019, made Out In Hollywood\u2019s Out Loud List<\/a> last year for her unproduced TV pilot script Twin Pinks.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrie, who previously directed a 2019 episode of her Netflix series GLOW, most recently starred alongside Dave Franco<\/a> in the Michael Shanks<\/a>-written\/directed body horror Together<\/a>, which premiered Friday in theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Patrick Henry Phelan alleged in a lawsuit that the film is a \u201cblatant rip-off<\/a>\u201d of his 2023 indie film Better Half, which Shanks, Neon and WME have denied<\/a>, Brie addressed the accusation in her interview.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is a sad reality of the business, unfortunately these types of claims come up all the time,\u201d Brie told Marie Claire. \u201cOur screenwriter wrote the first draft of this script in 2019, a year before WME ever received the other script. We have an extensive paper trail, and we look forward to showing the court that these claims are frivolous.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coming off the opening weekend of her latest starring role, Alison Brie is preparing to step behind the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":42881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[37692,17944,64,63,1977,134,344],"class_list":{"0":"post-42880","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-alice-stanley-jr","9":"tag-alison-brie","10":"tag-au","11":"tag-australia","12":"tag-directors","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-movies"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42880"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42880\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/42881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
