Overview

  • Together follows Millie and Tim, a married couple played by Alison Brie and Dave Franco, as a rural move unleashes a supernatural force that binds them physically.
  • Production used prosthetic makeup to fuse the actors skin-to-skin for up to 10 hours a day, necessitating shared bathroom breaks on set.
  • Director Michael Shanks said the couple volunteered for the grueling sequences and credited their marriage with making the intimate scenes possible.
  • At the Los Angeles premiere, Dave Franco revealed that Brie often recreates “sloppy” reality TV kisses on him, a playful habit he finds uncomfortable and she finds hilarious.
  • The project marks Michael Shanks’s feature directing debut and the couple’s fifth film together since their 2017 marriage.
