Director–co-writer Daryl Wein and co-writer–actress Zoe Lister-Jones — the real-life couple who gave us the semi-autobiographical indie film Breaking Upwards — are back with Lola Versus, a post-romantic-comedy about what happens after the breakup, starring Greta Gerwig and Joel Kinnaman. It almost starred Anne Hathaway (or even Zoe Saldana) as Lola, and James Franco and Orlando Bloom were both once cast as the fiancé who breaks up with her three weeks before the wedding. Like their jilted bride-to-be, Wein and Lister-Jones stumbled through the streets of New York to find their footing, as they reevaluated their filmmaking plans and went up against construction crews, government officials, drunken friends, and racial politics. As Vulture discovered during our chat, it's Wein and Lister-Jones versus the world.
