Movie Viral Let's Be Friends Again (Web Comic) ScreenRant TrailerAddict

Ben Stiller Starring in ‘Untitled’ Noah Baumbach Film

By • April 2, 2009 • 3 Comments

Production began last week in Los Angeles on the “untitled” film starring Ben Stiller for writer/director Noah Baumbach, an Academy Award nominee for his original screenplay of The Squid and the Whale (which he also directed). Scott Rudin, an Academy Award winner as producer of No Country for Old Men, and Jennifer Jason Leigh are producing the movie, to which Focus Features holds worldwide rights.

The script is an original story by Baumbach and revolves around, Roger Greenberg (Stiller), who at a crossroads in his life, ends up housesitting at his brother’s home in Los Angeles. There, he strikes up an unlikely friendship with his brother’s assistant Florence (Greta Gerwig - Hannah Takes the Stairs), an aspiring singer. Florence and Greenberg’s encounters lead to an uncertain and wonderfully vulnerable courtship.

The film will also star Rhys Ifans, playing Greenburg’s (Stiller) friend Ivan. Other supporting cast members include: Mark Duplass (2009 Sundance Film Festival’s Humpday), Brie Larson (United States of Tara), and Juno Temple (Atonement); Jennifer Jason Leigh will also costar in the film.

Focus Feature’s CEO, James Schamus, mentioned, in the press release we received, that this is a movie that will “that will showcase Ben as an actor” and I have to agree. I am so used to seeing him in comedies in which he typically plays the same type of comedic characters but putting him in this indie drama will be interesting to see. The script sounds good and I really like Baumbach’s writing abilities so this movie should be good.

We will keep everyone posted on the film especially once it gets a title.
