It&#8217;s hard \u2013 you can understand the opposite sex, and yet still there&#8217;s a degree of authenticity that&#8217;s hard to achieve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But once he gets past those hurdles, Pegg turns to romantic comedies for inspiration. Why? &#8220;Because it\u2019s all about relationships,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Myself and <strong>Doug Jung<\/strong>, who are writing it together, we&#8217;re writing about characters that already exist, so there are preexisting relationships there; it&#8217;s a familial setting. It&#8217;s not a romantic comedy exactly, but there are human relationships in it, and that&#8217;s what&#8217;s at the heart of a romantic comedy, too.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon Pegg finds some aspects of writing to be difficult.
