The King in a new film

Premiered at the Toronto International Film Fest this week:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1791682/

Re: The King in a new film

it's getting great reviews across the board, here's one that spotlight's Adam's performance.

Here's the best movie to premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival: "While We're Young," Noah Baumbach's "Frances Ha" follow-up

...

Not that Stiller is the only thing going on here: Driver, Watts, Seyfried and Charles Grodin are pretty remarkable, too. (That Adam Driver is going to have a long career.) Then there's Ryan Serhant and Adam Horovitz. You know them better as that guy from "Million Dollar Listing" and Ad-Rock from Beasties Boys.

Let's start with Horovitz, who plays such a perfect embodiment of average, upper-middle class dads that you might not connect the dots right away between his character and Ad-Rock. Which is likely the point. In a movie about adults refusing to accept that they've become adults, what better way to illustrate that overarching theme than by having Ad-Rock wear khakis and carry baby in a sling? Horovitz's character has got to fight for the right to wake up multiple times a night to feed his newborn.

But if Horovitz is a subtle marvel, Serhant is the movie equivalent of street construction on a quiet morning...

Re: The King in a new film

so it says the film doesn't have distribution.

it got picked up at the Toronto fest by A24 Studios, so I imagine they will whip one up pretty soon.

Re: The King in a new film

A24 was founded by David Fenkel who co-founded Oscilloscope Laboratories and came from THINKFilm. Keeping it in the family.

(y)

and Alex Klenert, CEO for Prodigy Public Relations, is handling press for the "No No: A Dockumentary" with Adrock's original music.

he is the former VP of publicity for ThinkFilm and was behind the AIFST campaign.

Re: The King in a new film

Looking forward to seeing this.

Re: The King in a new film

It seems like The Guardian is a big fan of the movie as well, and writes some fine words about the casting of Adam.

http://www.theguardian.com/film/2014...ch-adam-driver
... Baumbach’s work feels as acute and timely as they come. His casting choices are razor sharp, Driver and Stiller both in their own ways emblematic of their generations; likewise the choice of Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz as a stay-at-home dad who, with his wife, is forever encouraging his Jamie and Cornelia to have children.
...
But it’s churlish to pick holes in what is an almost perfect 90-minute hit of confident and inspired comedic commentary. Baumbach has made his most mainstream movie to date; it demands as wide a watch as possible.

Re: The King in a new film

The new film he's in ISN'T "The Equalizer"?

Re: The King in a new film

Horovitz and Stiller are a great combo! You know guys I am excited to see Adrock getting back into film. I always thought he did a pretty good job. ;)

I'd really like to see a return to that character. A "where is he now?" type of thing. Maybe a miniseries or trilogy.

Never saw the full episode, sounds like a good idea though....
