“Jackpot! was the first ever film I shot in Georgia! Actually, in the whole of the U.S., it was an out-of-body experience working with genius Paul Feig, director of my ultimate favorite comedy film, ‘Bridesmaids.’ Not to mention Sean William Scott, whom I would only watch in movies, I got to have the best fun with on set! And what a great crew we had too,” she wrote in her caption.
