Surprise, Jason Segel Has A New Netflix Movie Coming And The Cast Is Finally Ready To Talk About It

With that said, some films (i.e., Malcolm and Marie) were filmed in secret to resounding success. It was recently revealed a secret film starring Our Friend star Jason Segel was picked up by Netflix. This news came out after the cast was finally ready to talk about said project, titled Windfall.
The Mank star took to her Instagram to speak on the surprise film. According to Lily Collins, the project was filmed during the Hollywood shutdown last year without anyone’s knowledge. Collins couldn’t hold back her excitement as she wrote in her surprising post:
It was fun to learn that Collins’ new role allowed her to stretch as an actress.

Lily Collins even took the moment to thank the writers for giving her an unconventional character compared to her previous roles. She seemed grateful for the experience. At least, she understood her new role unlike her role in Mank. But the Emily in Paris star wasn’t done speaking about the film.
Lily Collins continued to sing the film’s praise in her Instagram post. The actress revealed the film set followed safety protocols during the pandemic while shouting out Netflix. Collins gave her followers some insight into the mysterious film project:
