In the movie, the
three plot revenge, and in the process learn about themselves and what they
really want in life. The three women
don’t appear to have much in common, other than the philandering womanizer who
has been tricking them. They become great pals, however, and decide to teach
the lying Mark a few lessons to prove that cheating will not work. But their
journey goes way beyond straightforward revenge. From director Nick Cassavetes, the hilarious
film is an original take on friendship and relationships.
A silent yet
supportive ally in their blossoming friendship is Kate’s brother Phil, played
by Taylor Kinney. Taylor Kinney (“Zero
Dark Thirty”) rounds out the starring cast, as Kate’s brother, Phil. Phil, in addition to having a really nice
beach house, is the opposite of Mark; he’s an honest and good guy. Phil at first is disturbed when the ladies seem
to be obsessed with stalking Mark, but he and Carly soon develop a growing
attraction. Once Carly and Kate figure
out that there is another woman filling in the unexplained spots in Mark’s
calendar, they hop in the car to track her down in the Hamptons where Phil’s
beach house is located. They establish
headquarters at Kate’s brother Phil’s place, which is a beach house with a
bachelor’s vibe on the ocean in East Quogue.
“The Other Woman”
balances its broad comedy and emotional truth with a bit of fantasy and high
glamour – or as director Nick Cassavetes dubs it, the film is
“candy-dipped.” In addition to the
costumes by Patricia Field and her team of chic New York stylists, the film was
lucky to have acclaimed French cinematographer Robert Fraisse on board. Fraisse is an Academy Award® nominee for the
Jean-Jacques Annaud film “The Lover.” He
also created the lush images in Cassavetes’ romance “The Notebook” and worked
with him again on “Alpha Dog.”
The exclusive
Quogue Beach Club where Phil’s beach house is allowed filming on its pristine
white beach for a pivotal moment when Carly and Kate spy on and then chase
bikini-clad Amber. After wrapping in
the Hamptons, cast and crew packed up their gear and hopped on a flight to the
Caribbean. As producer Julie Yorn
recalls: “The original draft of the
script didn’t have the journey to the Bahamas section, and it felt like it was
lacking a big, action-oriented piece at the end. Nick came up with this idea
that the ladies travel to the island paradise to catch Mark committing fraud.
So we get to have the great moments of them chasing him and having to go on an
adventure together.”
