If You Can't Have Mark Ruffalo, Get Ben Stiller?
Filed under: Comedy », Drama », Casting »
*When you watch Mark Ruffalo act, have you ever thought: "Hey, Ben Stiller would be a good Ruffalo replacement"? No? Me neither.
But it's happening! Back in May, Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams were set to star in Noah Baumbach's next film, Greenberg.** Now, The Hollywood Reporter posts that Stiller has signed on to replace Ruffalo in the feature. I would assume that this is due to the death of Ruffalo's brother, which has been making news lately, but it could just be a case of a film taking too long to come to fruition. Amy Adams is out as well, and they're currently searching for her replacement.
It certainly seems like Stiller is now trying to balance his goofy Tropic Thunder type fare with something a bit meatier, between this and that earlier Chicago 7 rumor. As I've said before -- I'm all for it. It's about time he went back to more dramatic fare. But who should he traverse the rocky road of relationships with? Any ideas?
*The Hollywood Reporter has since corrected their post -- Ruffalo was never attached, but rather one of the actors interested in the film.
**The title of the film is actually Greenberg, not Greenburg, as THR listed.
Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams Head to 'Greenburg'
Filed under: Comedy », Drama », Casting », Scripts »
They've come a long way -- Mark Ruffalo and Amy Adams. For years, we got lots of Ruffalass as each film Mark took on seemed to have the obligatory bare butt. It got to the point where me and my friends would wait for that inevitable moment. Amy Adams, meanwhile, has come even farther. From 1999-2000 it looked like her path was set after Drop Dead Gorgeous, Psycho Beach Party, and Cruel Intentions 2. Then she got an Oscar nomination and suddenly she wasn't the goofy blonde girl, but rather an actress with one wide-ranging skillset. So, what's next?The Hollywood Reporter posts that Ruffalo and Adams have signed on to star in Noah Baumbach's (The Squid and the Whale) next feature, called Greenburg. The plot is being kept under wraps, but it's said to be some sort of relationship dramedy that's getting shopped around in Cannes, and is hoping to start production later this year. Greenburg ... Is this a town? A name? Who knows.
Whatever scenario Baumbach has schemed up, it sounds like a great combination to me.
