Hot Pursuit

[projekktor id=’18868′]

Hot Pursuit is a buddy comedy directed by Anne Fletcher (The Guilt Trip, The Proposal). The film, shot in and around New Orleans, Louisiana, stars Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara.

Super-straight arrow Officer Cooper is both honored and thrilled to be assigned the seemingly simple task of escorting mob wife Daniella Riva across Texas, where she and her husband will testify against a major drug lord. It’s a rare day out of the property room, and the intensely enthusiastic petite policewoman vows not to let her captain down. However, upon meeting the dynamic Mrs. Riva—a curvaceous Colombian beauty with opinions as strong as her accent—it’s clear this will be no walk in the park. And before they can even agree on what high heels the statuesque Daniella can pack, the cops and Mr. Riva are ambushed, making his wife a widow and turning their anticipated easy drive from San Antonio to Dallas into a run-for-your-life race against time…and a lot of flying bullets!

Witherspoon was excited to work with Vergara and knew that their differences would play off of each other well. “Sofía is so interesting to watch and has a great sense of comedic timing and relatability. We are a complete mismatch physically; it was clear to me the second we met that we would make a good pair because not only did we have a great rapport, but she’s so tall and composed, next to her I felt short and funny. I knew we could play with that.”

Hot Pursuit is rated PG.
