Emma Roberts got on the phone with 'Hacks' writer Jen Statsky to talk about getting shuttled off into space in her new movie 'Space Cadet.'

was recruited into NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut program, not in real life, but as Rex Simpson, the Floridian party-girl-turned space explorer in a new feature film,” has always had an affinity for outer space and alien life, and couldn’t turn down a chance to get off this planet, even if it was just for the camera.

STATSKY: That’s what I was thinking too watching the movies, like I’m such a nervous flyer and I was like, “No fucking way are you getting me on a spaceship.” ROBERTS: Totally. I have a lot of friends that really do and really don’t and I’ve seen them get into convos about it. And actually both sides are equally interesting to me. But I myself am a believer. I want to know what they look like. I want to know what they’re into. I mean, my favorite space movie slash alien movie isrocked me to my core.

STATSKY: Right. Like I don’t know how you could be in the scene thinking of notes for your scene partner. Like how could you be present?STATSKY: When I’m in the writer’s room, I can’t read fiction because I get worried about it meshing with what I’m writing. When you’re shooting something like this or, because you’re such a voracious reader, does the stuff you read ever seep into the work?

STATSKY: Right. You see a meme or a tweet, and then you say it as if it’s your thought. You’re like, “That’s not my thought, that was a person on the internet’s thought.”ROBERTS: Well that must be hard for comedy because now it’s like there’s so many trends and jokes online.STATSKY: They’re on Reddit. It’s like, you just can’t outpace the internet. It’s always ahead of you. It’s always funnier than you.
