Director Colin Trevorrow Talks Safety Not Guaranteed


When an unusual classified ad inspires a cynical Seattle magazine employee (Jake Johnson) and his two tag-along college interns (Aubrey Plaza, Karan Soni) to go on a road trip and look for the story behind it, they discover Kenneth (Mark Duplass), a mysterious eccentric who believes he’s solved the riddle of time travel, and is seeking an armed companion to embark on a risky adventure. If that, the plot for director Colin Trevorrow’s delightful new Safety Not Guaranteed, sounds a bit outlandish, it’s actually rooted in a real ad that appeared in the 1990s. I had a chance to speak to Trevorrow one-on-one recently, about his movie, his stars, what he would do if he could travel through time, and how Huey Lewis’ mullet figures into the equation. The conversation is excerpted over at ShockYa, so click here for the read.
