As the IFC folks set up Simon Killer for its VOD release on Netflix, itunes and Amazon, trailblazing actor Brady Corbet continues to stockpile what will be a huge ’14 campaign of indie and foreign film appearances with a part in Noah Baumbach’s While We’re Young. Deadline also mentions that Corbet will also be featured on HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge.
Gist: Featuring Ben Stiller, Amanda Seyfried, Naomi Watts, Charles Grodin and up-and-coming actor Adam Driver, this is about how an uptight documentary filmmaker and his wife loosen up a bit after they befriend a free-spirited younger couple. Beastie Boys’ Adam Horovitz is also on board.
Worth Noting: Just some of Corbet’s 2014 projects include Andrea Di Stefano’s Paradise Lost, Olivier Assayas’ Sils Maria and Mia Hansen-Løve’s Eden.
Do We Care?: Regardless if he is pinch-hitting (Melancholia, Martha Marcy May Marlene) or among the leads (going back to Mysterious Skin, Funny Games U.S. to Simon Killer) Corbet is an all-star team member in auteur film sphere – plus Baumbach’s Frances Ha is among the best titles of 2013.
