THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER – The Curse began with an actual curse, or at least the threat of one. When Nathan Fielder first moved from Canada to L.A. in 2009, a woman approached him on the street asking for a handout. He told her he had no money. She replied, “I curse you.”

That anecdote, described by Fielder to pal Benny Safdie, was the seed for one of the most startling and innovative shows in recent memory. Fielder, whose spins on reality TV in shows like HBO’s The Rehearsal have earned him a devoted fan base (Christopher Nolan among them), and Safdie (who, with brother and ex-directing partner Josh, made Uncut Gems) cooked up a bitter black comedy that in part skewered HGTV programming. The duo cast themselves as childhood friends — one of them, Asher Siegel (Fielder), a nebbish, budding reality star burdened with a micropenis — making a pilot about a couple trying to create a village of eco-friendly homes in the New Mexican desert. To play Asher’s deeply insecure, social justice warrior wife, Whitney, Fielder enlisted his friend Emma Stone. (In reality, Stone is married to The Curse executive producer and former Saturday Night Live writer Dave McCary, while Fielder is in a long-term relationship with Amber Schaeffer, a segment director on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and SNL.) Stone, 35, joined the production having just wrapped filming Poor Things, the feature that would earn her a second Oscar.
