Actress Molly Gordon discussed her upcoming A24 comedy *Peaked* and her work with actor Connor Storrie during an appearance on *The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon*.
The project represents a high-profile collaboration for A24, a studio known for unconventional storytelling, and signals the creative direction of the new comedy. Gordon used the platform to provide a glimpse into the production's tone and the chemistry between the lead performers.
During the interview, Gordon said she enjoyed the process of filming the movie and specifically highlighted the contributions of Connor Storrie. She described a specific segment of the film titled *Sheep Detectives*, which she likened to the *Star Wars* franchise in terms of its scale or style.
There has been some conflicting reporting regarding the final casting of the film. Some sources indicate that Storrie is already cast and that Gordon has praised his performance, while other reports suggest he was only in talks to join the project [1], [2]. Additional reports have noted that Dua Lipa is also joining the cast alongside Storrie [3].
Production timelines for the film have also been a point of discussion. According to some reports, *Peaked* was scheduled to begin filming in May 2024 [4]. Gordon's recent appearance on the talk show serves as a primary promotional tool to build anticipation for the A24 release.
The actress shared various behind-the-scenes anecdotes during the segment, focusing on the comedic timing, and the specific visual ambitions of the *Sheep Detectives* sequences. While the full plot remains under wraps, the comparison to a galactic epic suggests a level of absurdity or stylistic ambition that deviates from traditional indie comedies.
“Molly Gordon likened the 'Sheep Detectives' segment to Star Wars.”
The comparison of a comedy segment to a cinematic epic like Star Wars suggests that A24 is leaning into a high-concept, surrealist approach for 'Peaked.' The discrepancy in casting reports—ranging from 'in talks' to confirmed—is common in early-stage indie productions, but the public promotion by Gordon indicates that the core creative partnership with Storrie is central to the film's identity.
