Ike Barinholtz, actor and Chicago native, phoned in with Chicago Tribune to talk about an exciting project coming up. I can’t talk too much about it, otherwise I’ll be executed, Barinholtz joked.
We’re three days in. This is a crazy movie. It’s the biggest movie I’ve ever been in. However, of course, Ike Barinholtz stays mum on his role. The only thing I can say is that it’s a very different side of me that you haven't seen on "The Mindy Project" or "Neighbors". Barinholtz described the tone of the movie stating, It appeals to people’s dark side a little more. It has a ‘Dirty Dozen’ feel. I think that’s the direction we’re going in.
Ike Barinholtz then revealed an interesting connection to a renowned writer of Suicide Squad, John Ostrander. He also talks about his impressions of the script: Ironically, my mom was friends with John Ostrander, who wrote one of the original incarnations in the 80s. I was very happy to hear about the project. And when discussions began of me being in it, I read the script and was like "Oh my God, this is awesome".
