Was the goat well-behaved?
Was the goat a terror?
How was the goat?
SCOTT FOLEY: Biggest diva on set, that Maltese.
Ill tell you, didnt wanna hit a mark.
Could not wait for, Action!

Always was going off script.
It was great to get to work with a goat.
Just in time for Valentines Day, the sweet flick hits Netflix on February 13.

Was that in the script?
Were you reading it and thinking, I have to do scenes with a goat?
The goat was fine.
You get what you get with a goat in that situation.
It does what it does, and youve gotta work around it.
The goat seemed well-behaved, so it made me wonder if it was a horror story behind the scenes.

FOLEY: There was no horror story, but I didnt edit the film.
Im sure editing it was like, Why wouldnt the goat just look to the left?
A project like this seems like it would just be the most fun.
When this came your way, what was the thing that sold you?
FOLEY: Eight weeks in Italy.
That was the thing.
And then, they said, Were gonna shoot it in Italy.
And I thought, Well, I kind of have to do it.
It worked out really well.
Theres a little bit of fantasy that comes in with, Maybe I could restart my life here.
The relationships in this movie are really important.
It was all of that together, but mostly eight weeks in Italy.
It seems like a lot to live up to when youre playing a chef who finds himself in Italy.
FOLEY: Yeah, its a lot to live up to.
And my family came over.
We still make tiramisu at home.
As a bachelor, before I was married, I cooked for myself.
I love cooking, but my wife is a much better cook than I am, at this point.
Ill make you mac and cheese.
I can make the kids dino nuggets.
Ill put together a pretty decent cheese quesadilla.
But aside from that, my wife does all that.
Scott Foley is set to play Angies new love interest.
At what point did you meet your movie daughter?
FOLEY: There were a couple of names being floated around.
And she was like, Oh, yeah, she was inPretty Little Liars.
I thought, Ive heard of that show.
I dont think of her as my daughter, but shes great and I love her.
You just wanna root for her and take care of her.
How did that inform your performance?
FOLEY: The performance you imagine can greatly differ from the performance that happens on set.
It really informed our characters relationship.
That allowed us to do our scenes on camera without fear and judgment.
To let yourself be vulnerable around another person, someone you dont know that well, is very difficult.
She was open and game, and thats all I can ask.
It was really great.
For our characters, it pulled them apart a bit.
It took a lot for my character to swallow his pride.
He had to listen to someone who he insisted had to listen to him for their whole life.
The tables get turned a bit and he has to swallow his pride.
I dont know how often they live up to that, and theres an acceptance that needs to happen.
We get to watch that acceptance happen with him.
One of my favorite and most unexpected parts of this movie is the Antonias.
What were they like to work with and get to know as you went through that full character journey?
FOLEY: Oh, my God, by the way, those three ladies steal the show.
I had 50 conversations with them.
They dont speak English, and I dont speak Italian.
I have no idea what happened.
What we talked about, I dont know.
I loved working with them.
And they were all itsy bitsy.
And they would fall asleep, so the first couple takes, they couldnt stand afterwards.
Their legs were all asleep because they were so short.
They were just the sweetest.
If there was one thing about this production that had me worried or nervous, it was speaking Italian.
I took French in high school.
I would walk around my apartment and pace and say them over.
I wrote them out phonetically and I Googled YouTube videos on accents.
They reached out and they put their hands on my knee and my shoulder because they were so proud.
And the director (Mark Waters) came over and said, Wow, that sounded really good.
I was like, Oh, thanks, man.
Ive been working really hard.
And he said, Your character cant speak it that good.
you oughta do it worse.
And I thought, I worked so hard.I want a sequel with the Antonias.They were great and sweet.
The fact that one of them turns out to be his grandmother was really, really sweet.
I wasn’t quite sure how that was going to happen."
That was my first question.
FOLEY: You know, look, hes dead.
They shot me in the head.
I wasnt quite sure how that was going to happen.
I said, What could I possibly be doing?!
And he explained it to me, and I thought, Oh!
There is a world where you will not have to suspend disbelief.
Im excited about it, though.
After his character was killed in Scream 3,' Foleys casting shocked the fanbase.
Is that something youd ever imagined could happen?
Theres been a few movies betweenScream 3and now.
Have you had any other conversations about returning during that time?
Theres been 25 years in between and a ton of movies.
At no point, was anyone ever like, Are you gonna do that one?
Because they all know I died.
It doesnt make any sense.
Butover the course of 20 years, nothing has stood the test of time like the people who areScreamfans.
People love it, everywhere I go.
Im not a horror guy.
I enjoy the genre, but its not my go-to.
But I understand and appreciate those who love it.
There was a woman interviewing me here today, doing the same thing youre doing.
She brought her producer along and he had a Ghostface tattoo on his wrist.
I think its amazing.
