Tig Notaro is planning another splashy collaboration with Zack Snyder.
The actor and comedian was on the Dec. 1 episode of the podcast āOn With Kara Swisher,ā where she spoke about her role in Snyderās 2021 action film āArmy of the Dead.ā Notaro joined as a replacement for comedian Chris DāElia ā and the role had unexpected results for her.
āI go viral for being sexy in this film,ā she said. āAnd it was so unexpected. My phoneās exploding. Iām not walking around going āOh my God,ā you know, ācheck me out.ā I was so confused. So I called Zack, and I said, āIām hearing it from straight men, gay men, gay women and straight women that they think Iām hot in this movie.’ā
The situation gave Notaro creative inspiration for a new project that Snyder was quickly on board with.
āāWhat if we just went for it and everyoneās a hot lesbian?’ā she said. āHe was like, āOh my God, yes, letās make that movie.ā And so who knows? Itās a Hollywood project. Weāre in the process of putting the script together. Picture this poster: We have the name of the film, and then it says āHot Lesbian Action.ā Thatās how I sold him on the Zoom.ā
Notaro also spilled some early details on the project.
āAs of now, the the movie is called āDeviants,ā and takes place back in some old-timey days, like some closeted deviants,ā she said.
When sheās not working on that project, Notaro voiced a bear in this weekās box office hit āZootopia 2,ā and reprises her āStar Trekā role of Jett Reno in the upcoming series āStar Trek: Starfleet Academy.ā
