After pulling off a minor surprise last year, Bill Hader looks poised to defend his Best Comedy Actor Emmy crown for “Barry.” He’s way out in front in our early odds, and should he prevail, he’d be the latest repeat champ in this category. (goldderby)
Hader: I think you just feel it out, but honestly you really don’t know until you see the thing. Like with “Pineapple Express,” I showed up in the trailer and it was all ’40s, and I was like, “What are we doing?” I thought it was going to get cut, that those guys just had f— off money and were shooting anything. Then I saw the movie, and the minute the logo came up in black and white, I was like, “F—!” And it’s cool: Over 10 years later people are still talking about it.(variety)
During a backstage interview, NME’s Andrew Trendell asked Greenwood about the chances of a Radiohead biopic and who he thought could play his role. Greenwood replied, “Who’s that guy from ‘Saturday Night Live’ who’s slightly unusual-looking? He made that comedy recently about that hitman who ends up becoming an actor.” (pitchfork)
“[Director] Andy Muschetti played me scenes, and just the scope of it is so big,” Hader said. “It’s bigger than the first one. […] It’s an epic horror film. It feels like Lord of the Rings or something — just, ‘Whoa! This is cool!’” (via people)
