The Family Plan Director Simon Cellan Jones Interview
As we close in on the holidays and families are hanging out together, Apple TV knows you’re being bombarded with Hallmark Christmas movies. If you’re looking for something for the whole family, you want to check out Simon Cellan Jones’ The Family Plan, starring Mark Wahlberg and Michelle Monaghan. It was the charming blend of action and comedy that first piqued Jones’ interest while on set of another movie with Wahlberg, Arthur the King, and his previous work on Boardwalk Empire and Marvel’s Jessica Jones made him the the right guy to find this delicate balance of tone.
The Family Plan introduces us to suburban dad Dan Morgan (Wahlberg) and his family. Dan seems like a normal guy – he’s a loving husband, the father of three, and enjoys his 9-to-5 job as a car salesman – but life wasn’t always so simple. Try as he might to hide his past as a government assassin, that past resurfaces when his adversaries track him down. Now, to keep his family and his new identity safe, Dan whisks his unsuspecting wife, Jessica (Monaghan), their two angsty teens, and the baby off on a wild road trip to Las Vegas. Unbeknownst to the family, these enemies are hot on their trail and Dad is brushing the dust off some of his old moves!
In an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Jones discusses how he got attached to the project after his collaboration with Wahlberg on Arthur the King, and how he approached a family comedy that gives weight to each member. He talks about finding the movie in the edit and with early screenings, why Mark Wahlberg singing “Ice Ice Baby“ is actually really heartwarming, working with Apple TV , and how he and the crew mapped out their action-heavy sequences.
