The Breaker Upperers gets new trailer, releases February 15

A new trailer has been released for The Breaker Upperers, which is set to release February 15, 2019.

Fifteen years ago, Mel and Jen discovered they were being two-timed by the same man. Bitter and cynical they became fast friends and formed The Breaker Upperers, a small-time business breaking up couples for cash. Now they’re in their late-thirties and business is booming. They’re a platonic, codependent couple who keep their cynicism alive by not getting emotionally involved with anybody else. But when they run into an old victim, Mel develops a conscience and their friendship is truly put to the test.

Just watched The Breaker Upperers and I’m actually going to write a semi serious review :’) I first saw Jackie Van Beek and Madeleine Sami in What We Do In The Shadows (can I get a hell yeah for the under appreciated character Morana??) and so when I heard that they were writing/directing/acting in a movie together (with Taika Waititi as the executive producer too!) I had high hopes This movie doesn’t disappoint, from the flashback and dance scenes to the perfect mix of comedy and serious themes and moments it was such a fun yet surprisingly touching watch! Also I have to talk about the appearances of so many people that I’ve loved in other movies/series; Jemaine Clement, Karen O’Leary and James Rolleston just to name a few! And even though romance (or a lack of) was present throughout the movie the friendship between Jen and Mel totally won me over, I loved seeing them go from a pretty sucky and co-dependant relationship to a far healthier one. It’s really cool see friendship being represented as something important and not simply just a lesser version of dating, particularly in a movie with women in the lead roles. But possibly my favourite and the most refreshing part was how casual Mel’s bisexuality was. Not that serious movies talking about the very real challenges bi people can face aren’t important, but it’s /so/ cool to just have it be mentioned the same way being straight is, having her be vocally bi and not struggling with it. As a bi person I found that really heartening to watch. I would definitely recommend this movie, it was funny, sad and happy all at once! @madeleinesami @jackievanbeek @taikawaititi @ajemaineclement @karen_olearynz @jamesrolleston #thebreakerupperers #movies #whatwedointheshadows #taikawaititi #jemaineclement #jackievanbeek #madeleinesami https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmDsRmBoch/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mbk6xl5o2jdf

Taika Waititi Sets ‘Jojo Rabbit’ as Next Feature!!! #JojoRabbit, #TaikaWaititi, #TheBreakerUpperers, #WhatWeDoInTheShadows, #ThorRagnarok

Taika Waititi’s been keeping busy since Thor: Ragnarok blew up at the box office. He’s producing the TV series for What We Do in the Shadows and The Breaker Upperers, plus he’s doing a stop-motion animated movie based on Michael Jackson’s chimp, Bubbles. But for his follow-up feature to the box office smash, he’s directing Jojo Rabbit, which is bound to be slightly controversial since he’s…

We love having the new #feature #film #thebreakerupperers here at MHS. THE BREAKER UPPERERS BEGINS PRINCIPAL PHOTOGRAPHY Share this: Monday, April 3, 2017 Jackie van Beek and Madeleine Sami’s comedy feature film, The Breaker Upperers has today begun principal photography in Auckland. The Breaker Upperers is written and will be directed by van Beek and Sami who will also play the lead roles of Jen and Mel, a pair of cynical misfits who earn a living by breaking up unhappy couples for cash. Australian comedian Celia Pacquola joins the cast along with Kiwi favourites including Rima Te Wiata, Cohen Holloway and Nic Sampson. This feature also marks the return to the big screen of actor James Rolleston who joins the cast playing a young man desperately in need of the pair's services to break up with his overbearing girlfriend Sepa (played by newcomer Ana Scotney). Sami and van Beek are looking forward to shooting the feature which at its core tells the story of two women working out life’s many twists and turns and choosing their own path rather than one prescribed to them. “When Jackie came to me with this premise I loved it,” says Sami. “After years of workshops, raising kids (Jackie, not me), maintaining long distance relationships (me, not Jackie) and hours of writing in cafes all over Auckland, it's exciting to have the opportunity to bring this story to life with the help of our talented cast and crew.” “After being friends for so long, Madeleine and I thought it might be time to convince the world to let us co-write, co-direct and co-star in our own movie. And now we have an amazing team of people supporting us to do just that!” adds van Beek. “Most of our key cast and crew are women which feels exciting. And many of our heads of department are job sharing in order to fulfill their filmmaking ambitions whilst also raising families. If this film helps to establish this model as a popular way of working I'll be extremely happy.” The Breaker Upperers will be produced by Carthew Neal (Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Tickled), Ainsley Gardner (Boy, Eagle vs Shark) and Georgina Conder (Free in Deed, Consent) under the Piki and Miss Conception Films banner.
