According to Deadline:
McKinnon and Kunis will play best friends who unwittingly become entangled in an international conspiracy when one of the women discovers the boyfriend who dumped her actually was a spy. That’s where Heughan comes in.
Top Ten Reason We Are Here for This:
1. Sam in a feature film!
Sam in a feature film! You know what that means? PREMIERES. Red carpets. FUN (for us). That’s all we care about really. But also – good on you, Sam! This is a much better use of your hiatus than whatever you did last summer that we tried really hard not to make fun of.
2. A comedy!
Look, I don’t know if you purchased A Princess for Christmas on Blu Ray like real Samssenachs did, or if you’ve only watched it 3 or 4 times when it comes on Hallmark channel right after Halloween (#fakefans), BUT as that cinematic feat proves: this boy was made for comedy and a REALLY GREAT co-star. In all seriousness, I think Sam will do really well in a role that is most likely overly earnest (the straight man in a spy comedy) in a heightened situation. I think it fits!
3. Kate McKinnon!
There are very few actors whose movies I will go see just because they are in them anymore. I haven’t even seen the last FIVE Robert Pattinson movies and I LOVE HIM. I just cannot be arsed to head to the theater every time Leo makes another Scorsese flick. I’m not 15 anymore. BUT BUT BUT … I will see EVERYTHING Kate McKinnon is in. She makes me beyond happy. HELL YES TO THIS NEWS.
4. Female director/writer!
Susanna Fogel is directing a script that she co-wrote, that was brought to Lionsgate/Imagine by Vp Julie Oh! SO MANY LADIES heading up this one, y’all. That’s good company for ya, Sam. Not that you aren’t ALWAYS surrounded by women, but these are a lot less likely to ask you what’s under your kilt.
5. Mila Kunis!
Completely adorable, very talented, perfect in comedies. And brunette and married – so there are bound to be far less problems for the SamCait shippers when filming starts this summer. Unless …
6. All the spy suits!
After all, in The Spy Who Dumped Me, Sam is playing the TITLE CHARACTER, and I will expect all the Spy Accountrements that accompany said role.
7. And spy tuxes!
Real talk: boy better don a tux or two.
8. And spy outerwear
I’ll even take Barbour product placement. Good coats, a scarf, whatever.
9. And pre-breakup boyfriend dishevelment.
I’m expecting plenty of pre-inciting incident Sam as swoony boyfriend material. Level: Making pancakes on the morning after in nothing but a white towel.
10. Hiatus photos!
For real fans, nothing is more fun than sussing out hiatus filming pics of your faves. So get sleuthing as soon as locations are announced, weirdos. Get personally invested in getting the best shot of Sam getting out of a Aston Martin on a back street in Prague, ok? We are counting on you.
Bonus: SPY COMEDIES ARE OUR JAM!
If you don’t think Spy was one of the best and most hilarious movies of 2015, well then take your horrible opinion …
