Judy Greer Can't Talk ANT-MAN Much, But Praises the Director, And GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Revealing that she has yet to read the script, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes actress Judy Greer talks up her Ant-Man director Peyton Reed and co-star Paul Rudd. Check it out after the jump!
When Judy Greer sat down with Movie Pilot recently, the Dawn of the Planet of the Apes actress still could not say much about her mystery role in Ant-Man, however, but she did talk up the the star of Marvel's first "Phase Three" movie, Paul Rudd, as well as its director, Peyton Reed. "I leave on Monday to post-start," she said of when she starts filming, before being asked what we should expect from the film. "I can’t even tell you because they haven’t let me read the script yet. But, I can tell you; who doesn't love Paul Rudd? And Peyton Reed directed one of my all-time favorite movies, The Break Up, so I love the idea of a guy who can direct the shit out of a romantic comedy doing a superhero/action movie because that’s the stuff that’s going to make the movie great, is the comedy. That’s what I loved about Guardians of the Galaxy, the comedy and the real personalities of the characters. It wasn't just like 'I'm a tough superhero and I’m going to kick some ass.' There’s interpersonal relationships that are being dealt with, there's successes and failures, there's comedy. That was what I was excited about, and Paul Rudd." Meanwhile, actor Corey Stoll recently talked with The Wall Street Journal about playing the villain Darren Cross, aka Yellowjacket, in Ant-Man. "It’s fantastic," he said. "I feel very lucky to be able to go back and forth between playing a good guy and a bad guy. I just started shooting “Ant-Man,” but it’s already a lot of fun. I think it’s going to be good." He then agreed that the role is "absolutely" liberating. "Bad guys get all the best lines." What do you think?
