Toronto Film Festival favorite “50/50” certainly qualifies as a bit of an anomaly: a based-on-a-true-story comedy about coping with cancer.
Within that unusual premise, Academy Award-nominated actress Anna Kendrick found an opportunity to play a different sort of role in Katherine, a fledgling therapist trying to help her third patient, 27-year-old Adam Lerner (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who has just started treatment for a massive, malignant tumor growing along his spinal column. According to his Internet research, the understandably shell-shocked Adam has a 50/50 chance of survival, despite his youth and otherwise excellent health.
In movies, psychiatrists are often portrayed as older, wiser and a bit enigmatic, but Kendrick, 26, was drawn to her “50/50” character’s vulnerability, uncertainty and obvious nervousness.
“It’s not a character I’ve really seen before, but I think anytime like someone sort of admits, ‘I’m just trying to do my best here, you know, I’m just trying to find my way,’ I think that’s the kind of moments that intrigued me about this character,” Kendrick said in a phone interview from Dallas, where she was promoting the film.
“It wasn’t specifically that this is a new take on the profession as much as it was that I just liked someone who is expected to know what they’re doing being able to admit, you know, that they’re trying their best.”
Oscar-nominated actress Anna Kendrick (“Up in the Air”) has been busily promoting her new movie, the Toronto Film Festival favorite “50/50,” because the acclaimed cancer comedy is opening in theaters Friday.
But of course Kendrick, 26, has been fielding plenty of questions about “The Twilight Saga” along the way.
The Maine native has been part of the supernaturally popular vampire romance series since the first film, 2008′s “Twilight,” playing a supporting role as Jessica Stanley, a gossipy classmate of human heroine Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart).
She will reprise the role in the hotly anticipated two-part franchise finale “Breaking Dawn — Part 1,” opening Nov. 18, and “Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” due out in fall 2012. Hence, all the “Twilight” questions.
Sorry, Twihards, but Kendrick declined to reveal any secrets about the last two movies based on Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling book series. But she did describe the feeling of finishing up filming on the five-movie franchise in a recent phone interview.
“It’s sad but it’s not sad. It’s more like a peculiar feeling for it to not be there anymore. But we weren’t maudlin on the set; we were happy to get out of the cold,” she told me by phone from Dallas. Since much of the filming was done in Vancouver, British Columbia, that makes sterling sense.
I pretty amazed by the amount of video interviews we are able to find with Anna promoting “50/50″. It seems like every single critic/reporter got the chance to interview her. I really wish I had 5 minutes with her too ^^. Here is an interview for ZayZay.Com:
Anna joined “50/50″ cast for an interview on “All Things Anderson” with Anderson Cooper. Sadly the video quality is pretty low so our captures are a bit blurry:
