"That's one of our big escape places. I feel like my whole body relaxes when I drive up there," she says. Franco, 35, and Brie, 37, announced their engagement in August 2015 after more than three years of dating and tied the knot in March 2017 in a private ceremony.

"We've been writing together and actually wrote a rom-com script for Dave to direct and me to star in," says Brie. "It's been a really great creative outlet for us and a way to feel productive during this time." The Rental is available now in select drive-ins, theaters and On Demand.
