“Stress Positions” star John Early’s back surgery delayed the release of “Stress Positions,” which premiered at Sundance 2024 Friday.
Early revealed this detail when prompted by TheWrap Executive Editor Adam Chitwood in an interview at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait and Interview Studio presented by NFP. When asked if he relished the physical comedy of the film, Early revealed he was recovering from back surgery.
“I did, but with some fear, because I had just had back surgery actually,” Early said. “It delayed the movie, which by the way, made me feel like a star delaying the whole movie. But yeah, so I was fresh off back surgery and doing pratfalls which was a little terrifying, but that was like one of the great reasons why I was so moved by Theda writing this role for me.
