Ben Stiller, Adam Driver, Amanda Seyfried, and Naomi Watts in Trailer for WHILE WE'RE YOUNG
Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty underperformed when it was released at the tail end of 2013, and the actor appeared in the third and presumably final Night at the Museum movie last year. So what's his next move? Before he gets to work on Zoolander 2, he's reuniting with Greenberg director Noah Baumbach (Frances Ha, The Squid and the Whale) for While We're Young. A new trailer has arrived, and it looks like a nice little drama typical of Baumbach's recent output.
Ben Stiller and Naomi Watts are Josh and Cornelia Srebnick, happily married middle-aged members of New York’s creative class. They tried to start a family and were unable to — and have decided they’re okay with that. But as Josh labors over the umpteenth edit of his cerebral new film, it’s plain that he has hit a dry patch and that something is still missing.
Enter Jamie (Adam Driver) and Darby (Amanda Seyfried), a free-spirited young couple, who are spontaneous and untethered, ready to drop everything in pursuit of their next passion — retro board games one day, acquiring a pet chicken the next. For Josh, it’s as if a door has opened back to his youth — or a youth he wishes he once had.
It’s not long before the restless forty-somethings, Josh and Cornelia, throw aside friends their own age — including Beastie Boy Adam Horovitz in a sly supporting role — to trail after these young hipsters who seem so plugged in, so uninhibited, so Brooklyn cool. “Before we met,” Josh admits to Jamie, “the only two feelings I had left were wistful and disdainful.” But is this new inspiration enough to sustain collaboration and friendship with a couple twenty years their junior?
