Where's Zach?
Galifianakis on his upcoming projects
Youth in Revolt
(filming at press time)
“It’s a movie with Michael Cera, Steve Buscemi, Fred Willard, Jean Smart and Ray Liotta. Youth in Revolt is based on this little book that came out years ago. The script’s really, really good. It is a story about young love and what hormones do when they take over. Cera is the main actor, and I play the boyfriend of his mother. It will be a delight to see.”
G-Force
(in post-production)
“I have this really big movie. This isn’t going to be saying that I sold out at all (laughs), but I’m the lead in a Jerry Bruckheimer movie. It’s your run-of-the-mill ‘I train guinea pigs how to talk and do military co-op operations’ film. I play a live-action scientist. It is one of the most anticipated talking-guinea-pigs movies to come out in a few years. Will Arnett is in it as well.”
Little Fish, Strange Pond
(in post-production)
“That’s a movie with Matthew Modine. I don’t know anything about it. I don’t know where it went; I haven’t even asked. It’s kinda like planting a pumpkin seed and never watering it and leaving your house and going, ‘Well, I hope that pumpkin produces.’ You go do your job. Most of it required me to be hogtied on the floor of an actual porno store. One of those old-fashioned kind, where there are movies playing, movies like Anal-ize This. When your nose is resting on an old carpet in an adult-entertainment store that has been standing strong since the early 1980s, you give a re-think to the path you have chosen.”
Visioneers
(making festival rounds)
“That’s a small little movie that will probably be a cult-classic type of thing. I’m the lead. The performances are really good. It’s just odd enough that you’re kinda like, ‘What the fuck is this movie about?’ But I think that question is in a good way. The writer and director, they’re brothers, and they made this sensitive movie in this absurdity world. I don’t know of a movie that does both; either you do one or the other. This was crazy absurdist stuff with this emotional thing as the denominator. It’s a sweet little movie.”
