FRANCES HA TRAILER

•  from NPR's "Gerwig, Baumbach Poke Fun At Post-College Pangs"
• Noah Baumbach: I remember being on a date with a girl in college and realizing I was just acting like Woody Allen in a movie -
• Greta Gerwig: That's so funny because I feel like I spent most of my adolescence trying to act like Diane Keaton.
• Noah Baumbach: We should have met then.

Interviews with Office castmates, past and … well, past: Steve Carrell, Mindy Kaling, Rainn Wilson, and Jenna Fischer.
