Braff wrote the function particularly for Pugh whereas they lived collectively in the course of the COVID-19 lockdown, however that does not imply that he let her have any sneak peeks at what he was writing. He would solely give her some obscure concepts concerning the story whereas they talked about it later:

“I wasn’t allowed to learn any of it. I wasn’t allowed to learn any of the scenes as he was writing it and he’d come up from the workplace [having] locked himself in there for a couple of hours after which would simply begin telling me all of the items that he had found and I actually wasn’t allowed to learn something. And so I type of received to know the script and I received to know the character by means of us discussing it over dinner.”

No less than Pugh received some concept as to what the story was going to be about by means of their dinner conversations, nevertheless it will need to have nonetheless been irritating not with the ability to learn the written web page. In any case, Braff used elements of Pugh’s persona to fill out her character, and likewise included issues from her life, like her musical abilities. Ultimately Pugh would write some authentic songs for the movie – and I hope she did not let Braff hear or learn them till she was accomplished, simply to be honest.
