Collider – Sebastian Stan Found “Strange Parallels” Between ‘A Different Man’ and ‘The Apprentice’
A Different Man, the latest from writer-director Aaron Schimberg, is a darkly comedic A24 thriller that reunites him with actor Adam Pearson, who led his previous feature, the acclaimed Chained for Life. The collaboration was such a positive experience that Schimberg immediately offered to work together again, and once the script came through, Pearson quips to Collider’s Steve Weintraub, “It’s the most Schimberg thing I’ve ever read.” Finally, co-stars Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve came aboard, and the stage was set.
The stage, of course, being for the stage play written by Edward’s (Stan) neighbor and writer, Ingrid (Reinsve). A Different Man is the story of timid Edward, an aspiring actor with neurofibromatosis (NF1) who undergoes radical facial reconstruction surgery in hopes of a miraculous new life. Post-surgery, Edward feels more confident and earns the starring role in Ingrid’s play, only to be upstaged by Oswald (Pearson), a man with the same condition but whose disfigurement doesn’t seem to affect his personality. Once again, Edward’s sense of self is thrown into a spiral, but how do you reconfigure an identity crisis?
During this interview, Weintraub speaks with Pearson and Stan on the film’s reception across the festival circuit. They discuss getting involved with the project, surprise on-set cameos, working with Schimberg on a 22-day shoot, and how difficult it is to get movies like this one made. They also talk about how A Different Man isn’t looking to change the way anyone thinks, its lack of narrative hand-holding, and how to start conversations without the fear of not being “politically correct” enough.
Hollywood Reporter – The Emmy nominee and Marvel alum is being celebrated for his portrayal of a young Donald Trump in ‘The Apprentice’ and a man with neurofibromatosis who undergoes facial reconstructive surgery in ‘A Different Man.’
Sebastian Stan, a best actor contender this awards season for two performances that have brought him widespread acclaim — he plays a young Donald Trump in The Apprentice and a man with neurofibromatosis who undergoes facial reconstructive surgery in A Different Man — will receive the Precious Gem Award at the Miami Dade College’s Miami Film Festival GEMS event, the fest announced on Monday.
Stan, 42, will be celebrated at an event that will kick off on Sunday, Nov. 3, at 5pm EST, at MDC Wolfson Auditorium in downtown Miami. To begin with, he will sit down with yours truly for a career-retrospective conversation that will be recorded for subsequent posting as an episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast. Then, the fest will present him with his award.
