J.K. Simmons and His Family 'Laughed a Lot' While Making a Movie Together — About a Serial Killer (Exclusive)
J.K. Simmons tells PEOPLE he 'laughed a lot' with wife Michelle Schumacher and their kids Joe and Olivia while making 'You Can't Run Forever' together, an intense drama about a serial killer.
In the living room of the sun-drenched New York City apartment J.K. Simmons shares with his wife, writer-director Michelle Schumacher, there’s a spot stocked with all sorts of board and card games. Don’t expect a warm, lighthearted romp: It’s a thriller starring Simmons as Wade, a mysterious man who snaps and goes on a killing spree, slaying almost everyone in his path (one of his would-be victims is played by Olivia). By night they’d eat together on the hotel’s roof, where the director’s brother and the movie’s soleproducer, Randle Schumacher, would grill for nearly everyone except his sister, who was too busy preparing for the next day to join the al fresco suppers.
