As if we needed another reason to count down the days until “The Nest” arrives in theaters! The production team behind Amy Poehler and Tina Fey’s forthcoming film — in which they play estranged sisters (!!) — used Craigslist to find a few last-minute cast members in East Meadow, Long Island.
Originally found by Vanity Fair, the ad said the film was looking for “professional manicurists/ pedicurists to portray female Korean nail salon workers” for a “Tina Fey & Amy Poehler Film.” Universal confirmed the ad was real, and that some lucky nail artists in the tri-state area probably experienced the coolest Friday of their lives.
“The Nest” already gained attention from basically everyone who loves fun after Maya Rudolph signed on to play Poehler and Fey’s childhood friend. The film follows the sisters as they spend a weekend packing up their childhood home, before throwing a huge party as one last hurrah. Ike Barinholtz, John Leguizamo and James Brolin also co-star. See the first photos from filming here, though they don’t include any images of Craigslisters at a nail salon.
“The Nest” is scheduled for release Dec. 18, 2015.
