Jonathan Finer, a former State Department official, was the political consultant for 'Long Shot.'
Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen in"Long Shot." By Emily Heil Emily Heil Co-author of the Reliable Source Email Bio Follow May 1 at 3:48 PM The name Jonathan Finer isn’t the most recognizable among the film credits for the upcoming political rom-com “Long Shot,” which features marquee-lighting monikers such as Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen.
Finer, whose current gigs also include private-sector consulting, teaching at Princeton and serving as an adjunct fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, chatted with us about Rogen’s ad-libbing, where the movie takes creative liberties and why you shouldn’t try to smuggle your stash into the State Department HQ.
Or they had a stage direction where she’s talking to someone from Qatar, and they are speaking Farsi — it’s Arabic there. And another thing — and this might be a spoiler here — she ends up running for president, and I suggested that she would have to resign first, because secretary of state is supposed to be a job that’s separate from politics.I’m not addicted to these D.C. shows — it’s just not a genre I’m super into, because I like doing other things in my spare time.
The sets are good. [At State,] you travel 200 days a year, so there are a bunch of scenes on the plane. I shared some pictures from my travels, and that came out incredibly realistically. And the scenes in the secretary’s office — I thought they did a good job of those re-creations.My usefulness is probably limited, but I had fun doing it. I’d certainly do it again; I just don’t know how many movies there would be in this particular vein.
