Matt Walsh On What A ‘Veep’ Reunion Might Look Like: “Everybody Would Do It” – SXSW

deadline.com:

“I have no breaking story about a Veep comeback,” Matt Walsh told us at Deadline’s SXSW studio, “I wish I did because it would blow up the internet.” But in short per the the guy who played the White House press secretary Mike McLintock to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ VP Selina Meyer: “I know everybody would do it, there’s always been talk of a movie.” Walsh is here at SXSW for the world premiere of Searchlight’s Eva Longoria directed movie Flamin’ Hot which is today.

The whole notion of a reunion should warm the ears of Warner Bros Discovery Boss David Zaslav who believes in building out franchises across TV and film.

Walsh explains that Louis-Dreyfus and he mused on a stage show, “She would be in a one-woman show, and I would be Mike and I would keep ruining it as her press secretary.

She’d be happy to play that character forever doing live shows.” “It’s a bit of a family. You would have to do it right,” explained Walsh. “We’re so far forward in the future, it would have to be a pivotal moment in her career, and the stakes would have to be anchored in reality.
