As summer draws to a close, it’s nice to remember what’s in store for moviegoers as the autumnal equinox approaches: films with characters you care about. Deliver me from the superheroes, sweet season! As part of our extensive fall preview, we’ve picked the five most promising-yet-under-the-radar performances to anticipate in the coming months. Please straighten your tie when approaching the cross-dressing Glenn Close.
Seth Rogen in 50/50
Of all the Apatow players, Seth Rogen is the one whose knack for dry punchlines and snark seems to conceal layers of interesting depth and sensitivity. (Take for instance, his character Ken Miller from Freaks and Geeks, who became a powerhouse in the last few episodes.) In 50/50, he plays the buddy of a cancer-stricken Joseph Gordon-Levitt, hopefully he’ll lend the same amount of self-aware cynicism to the character that he brought to Funny People.
Alan Alda in Tower Heist
Though Alda is lovely in lite romantic comedies like the old Bernard Slade adaptation Same Time, Next Year, he is even greater as a total bastard. Who can deny that his greatest screen moments are in Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors, where he plays the pompous Lester, and The Aviator, where he plays the blowhard Senator Owen Brewster (and received his only Oscar nomination)? We’ll be seeing more of the dickish Alda in the upcoming comedy/actioner Tower Heist, where he’ll play a Bernie Madoff type who screws his Trumpian underlings (Ben Stiller, Matthew Broderick, among others) out of their life savings. Bring on the condescending sneers!
