The Big Picture 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.
SEBASTIAN STAN: Thank you for putting it like that. It's very strange. It feels like it never ever happens. I don't know. The timing suddenly is wild. They were both really very, very hard to do and make, but I'm also just so proud to talk about them. I'm happy talking about them. I'm proud of both of them. But I've also weirdly found, in talking about them, some strange parallels that I never really had thought about.
For the both of you, what has this journey been like with this movie? I believe you shot it in 2022, and then this year, you're at Sundance, Berlin, Calvary, you're gonna be a Fantastic Fest — all these different film festivals. What has been like to be in so many film festivals and to have such great reviews for the work?
STAN: I completely agree with you. They don't. I was really blown away just thinking, “Oh my god, I have to figure out a way to get in this film,” and, “Who else are they meeting? What is he thinking?” And so I was very, very on it once I read it. But it's true, it's so well-written. It reminds me of a play, the same feeling you would get from reading Arthur Miller or something. When you read something, and you go, “Wow, this is challenging, this is scary, this is exciting.
STAN: Sometimes certain things just find a way, and this one, really, once it came together it came together really quickly and then we had a very little bit of time to get going. But once we did, Aaron was so prepared. He knew what he wanted, he was very focused, he really didn't leave any room for error, and he couldn't because it was only a 22-day shoot. Everything was location and it was still COVID — there were masks, people were getting tested, people were getting COVID.
STAN: Yeah, that was really insane. He loved Chained for Life, and he wanted to be involved. That was a special day for sure. But I wanna say all of the stuff when I was in the cast was amazing because I was getting to sit there and watch Adam go through this whole sequence where his character is doing a billion things. It was great.
