Aubrey Plaza Like You’ve Never Seen Her Before

... star played by Elizabeth Olsen. “It’s more about attachment and obsession and less about someone who is mentally unstable,” she explains, before adding dryly, “but I guess I’m like the go-to crazy person or something.” In “The Little Hours,” meanwhile, she’s a 14 th-century not-cut-out-for-the-cloth nun, alongside Alison Brie , Kate Micucci and Molly Shannon. The film was written and directed by Jeff Baena, Plaza’s boyfriend since 2011. “We’re so obsessed with movies,” she says. “That’s why we’re making movies together.” The couple regularly watch DVDs pulled from Baena’s alphabetized library (’70 s flicks and Robert Altman films are in high rotation) — and Baena’s writing a script they plan to film in Italy later this year. When it comes to red-carpet occasions, Plaza works with stylist Jessica Paster, transforming from sleek (a black, long-sleeved, low-cut Alexandre Vauthier gown for the 2015 Emmys) to mod (a Prada minidress for the “Mike and Dave” premiere) to badass (a studded leather Miu Miu dress for an event last month).

... first major film role, Mystery Team with Donald Glover. She was in Funny People , Scott Pilgrim vs. the World , Damsels in Distress, and 10 Years , giving her a nice mix of major movies and indies as well. She also showed up in indie movies like The End of Love and Safety Not Guaranteed , and a handful of Portlandia episodes. And then the starring roles started flowing her way. She stars in The To Do List as a girl on a mission to become much more than a novice when it comes to sex; as a zombie lady in Life After Beth , and one of her more emotional roles as Sarah in About Alex. Aubrey has also loaned her voice to The Legend of Korra TV series as well as Grumpy Cat’s Worst Christmas Ever, which is a match made in heaven. Not that Aubrey’s always playing the grump! She’s taken on much more of a fun, wild side in recent films such as Dirty Grandpa , Joshy , and Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates. Of course we’ll always ...

Aubrey Plaza Reveals The Exciting Gender Twist Behind Her 'legion' Role

... met over coffee with "Legion" showrunner and director Noah Hawley ("Fargo"). That's when he approached her about playing the role of Lenny, which became a pretty exciting idea for Plaza. "It was really kind of interesting that he would switch the gender of the role and allow me to take it on and work together to see where that journey would end up," she said. "Anyone that’s open to something like that is definitely someone I want to work with.". Plaza was willing to take on the role, but she had a request of Hawley. She didn't want him to change the role just because a woman was playing it. "I agreed to do it, but I said if we’re gonna do this I don’t want you to change the dialogue to make her more of a female — to make her sound like a female," the 32-year-old told us. "I just want it it be the same thing that you wrote. I was interested in taking that on and playing a character that wasn’t about gender so much. When you watch the show and see the journey that Lenny goes on, it’ll start to become more clear to you why that is important.". Lenny "Cornflakes" Busker, Plaza's gender-bending role, is really just one of numerous tricks Hawley employs on the series, ...

Aubrey Plaza, ‘legion’ Mental Case, Has What The Kids These Days Call ‘moxie

... changing tact. “I mean, no, I get it. I think that maybe that’s my real, underneath persona, and at heart, I’m like a 50-year-old drug addict living in a mental hospital. And Noah saw that’s who I am, really, underneath it all.”. That’s a typical answer from Plaza. You often don’t realize she’s joking until halfway through a sentence, and by then it turns into a game of catch-up with an Upright Citizens Brigade veteran. But it’s not a cold-shoulder thing, either, not a heightened social awkwardness. Despite what every interview with the actress written between 2009 and 2015 would have you believe, she’s not actually April Ludgate. The first order of business she suggests after sitting down is that we take a C-Shot together. Despite having no idea what a C-Shot is, I agree. “Great, let’s just go crazy,” she replies, stone-faced. “Crazy,” as it turns out, is an ...

Aubrey Plaza Is An Instagram Stalker In This Middle Social Media Satire

... technology and used it to make commercials for our own lives. The scenes between Plaza and Olsen are sharp and specific — Spicer certainly knows his way around these people — and the movie is smart enough to recognize how dull it would be to just chip away at Taylor’s perfect veneer for 90 minutes. Nothing helps sustain interest so much as Ingrid’s utter unwillingness to see through her new BFF’s flimsy facade, even if the script is derailed by all of the obstacles that it throws in her way (chief among them being Taylor’s insane, jacked, and insanely jacked brother, played by Billy Magnussen). But this sporadically funny movie is far more successful when it’s angling for easy laughs then when it’s trying to steer them towards social commentary. Spicer’s attempts to muddy the waters and reorient our sympathies are ...

Aubrey Plaza Wows In Thigh-skimming Sequined Mini At Legion Premiere

A large black bow tied around her neck added an interesting detail to the otherwise quite simple garment. RELATED ARTICLES. 39 shares. Some black pointed-toe pumps with white heel highlights rounded out the glam look. Copious eye make-up, a dash of blush and a slick of metallic nude lipstick ensured the Parks and Recreation vet was camera-ready.

Is Dan Stevens This Century’s Nicolas Cage

... She and Ptonomy also help David reach back into the mystery of his memories, which apparently include David’s father reading him a story about the angriest boy in the world, a boy who murders his mother. Another memory involves David and Lenny scoring drugs together and planning on ripping off David’s shrink. “The stove is the utility player of the modern home,” says Lenny, trying to sell a stove to a guy in a junkyard (while David stares at a dog in exactly the same way Cage stares at the iguanas in Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans ). How do such good lines coexist with such bad ones? The characters involved in any given scene, and how much fun writer and showrunner Noah Hawley is able to have with them, dictate way too much how entertaining that scene will be. A show about Lenny going around committing crimes would have been superior to this show, even though this show is about the world’s most powerful mutant. (This was probably also the problem with Fargo season 2—Bokeem Woodbine’s wry assassin and Nick Offerman’s drunken lawyer were just so much better-written than the nondescript police officer main characters). Syd reveals that while she was inhabiting ...
