What was it like shooting in the harsh weather of Minnesota?
Connick: It was unbelievably cold. I mean, you can’t even imagine. We didn’t shoot in Minnesota. We shot it in Winnipeg. Now that makes Minnesota look like the Caribbean! You know, I’ve been to Minnesota — I was there a month ago and crazy snow and everything — [but] nothing like that Canadian arctic cold where you can’t even hardly blink. RC: Any tips for staying warm? Connick: Just don’t go outside. Because if you go outside, you’re going to get cold. They tell you not to wear jeans. There was like an instructional magazine they gave us when we first got there — here’s what you need to do, here’s what you need not do. Wearing denim was something you couldn’t do because it’s supposed to get very cold and stay cold. So it’s all these things that you had to know — and they’re for real. RC: Any funny stories from the set? Connick: Just the normal day-to-day stuff, goofball stuff. I mean J.K. [Simmons] is funny. Siobhan [Fallon] is funny. Renee is so funny. Just hanging out, you know?
