Based on Michael Ausiello’s best-selling memoir, #SpoilerAlert: The Hero Dies is a heartwarming, funny and life-affirming story starring Jim Parsons, Ben Aldridge, and Sally Field. In theaters December 2nd.
Was charmed at #SundanceLondon by the delightfully goofy 'Brian And Charles' from director @AlrightJim and stars/writers David Earl and Chris Hayward. If you thought A.I. needed more cabbages, you are in for a treat. Cult status beckons. Could @CharlesPetrescu do a Q&A tour?
Bringing a little bit of Texas to New York.
B.J. Novak, Issa Rae, Ashton Kutcher, Boyd Holbrook, Dove Cameron, J. Smith-Cameron, and the cast of #Vengeance at last night’s world premiere at @Tribeca Film Festival.
Watch the film in theaters 7/29.
#TheNorthman is even better on subsequent viewings. Viking Hamlet/ Icelandic Conan The Barbarian is sooo good. Won’t leave my Top 5 films of the year list. Nicole Kidman & Anya Taylor-Joy’s characters are standouts in this visceral, dark tale of vengeance, honor & birthright.
Watched the premiere screening of @VengeanceFilm at @Tribeca and let me tell you: This dark comedy was unexpectedly profound. Some of the most sincere acting and deeply astute monologues I’ve seen in awhile. Thank you @bjnovak@j_smithcameron@aplusk@DoveCameron ﹠. others!
“By the end of the film it’s clear that some things are just for us and some things are just for the human connections we make.” @IsabellaAmara on what #Vengeance is about. #Tribeca2022#BJNovak
VENGEANCE
B.J. Novak aims high in this hard hitting and hysterical look at everything wrong/right in America. Novak’s sharp script leaves much to discuss. Great cast overall. Sneaks up on you emotionally. Vividly explores how creating art can be damning in itself
#Tribeca2022
TRIBECA FILM #1 - VENGEANCE - Had a fun time with B.J. Novak’s directorial debut. It subverted my expectations as a Blumhouse film titled VENGEANCE. Ashton Kutcher was great! I preferred the comedic moments but the drama was good. Would recommend to all. #TribecaFilmFestival
Saw @VengeanceFilm at @Tribeca. It was awesome! @bjnovak turns in a wonderful performance in a film her wrote and directed. Cast is terrific! Full of laughs and heart. Eli Brickel will steal your heart!
“After seeing this we are aware of the system, how divided we are, and it makes us think what are we going to do about it. Without action we are stuck.” @IssaRae on the impact of #Vengeance. #Tribeca2022
“When I thought of taking a character like this to a place he didn’t know and didn’t understand — I looked at a map and Texas was staring me in the face.” @bjnovak on why he set #Vengeance in Texas. #Tribeca2022
"I took the comedy in my life to the extreme, which led to drama." @bjnovak on what inspired the dramatic elements of his new film. #Vengeance#Tribeca2022
"B.J. Novak was directing the film before he directed the film. Every character is so well thought out and so well written that I just had to show up." @ashtonkutcher on the development of his character in Vengeance. #Tribeca2022#Vengeance#BJNovak
Just watched @VengeanceFilm at @Tribeca. If you told me to watch a movie about a white guy going to Texas to make a podcast, I might have declined BUT Vengeance is brilliant. @bjnovak touches on many themes w/out being preachy/obvious. Such a great film. Congrats to all involved.
“This story was about me. My own period of hanging out with John Mayer and having some shallow side to my life when I thought I had it all figured out.” @bjnovak on what inspired him to write #Vengeance. #Tribeca2022#BJNovak
Just saw @VengeanceFilm at @Tribeca and all I gotta say is wow. The entire movie was amazing, but especially the ending. Deeply funny, heart-warming, sad, & shocking. Huge congrats & praise to @bjnovak for putting together such an incredible film.
Great to be back in NYC. A huge congrats to @bjnovak The movie screened like gangbusters. Don’t forget to go see it in theater soooon. twitter.com/boydholbrookco…
