David Wain Shares Your Crush on Paul Rudd
You love Paul Rudd. I love Paul Rudd. And as it turns out, David Wain loves Paul Rudd too. The director and State/Stella performer is currently preparing to direct a new film starring Rudd called Little Big Men, and he discussed the movie and his appreciation for its star in a recent interview with Gothamist:
And what is it that attracted to this particular project?
Well, for this particular project it was really primarily the work of
Paul Rudd, because he is someone I’ve worked with in the past a lot and
I just think he’s the best and he was involved with this project before
I was. And, you know, the opportunity to work with him is something I
will always want to do.Now the premise of the film is that some wild behavior leads two beer reps to enroll in a big brother program-
Actually, that’s not what the movie is about anymore. The movie has
sort of been evolved and has changed a lot since someone wrote that on
IMDB. It’s actually about these two energy drink salesmen who through a
series of circumstances, and no longer wild behavior, end up in this
mentoring program. I think a lot of what I’ve drawn from in writing and
directing this movie is my experience being a summer camp counselor,
which I did a lot of, especially with these characters that are kind of
out of their element. They have a lot of growing up to do and now
suddenly they have to have a somewhat parental role towards these
younger kids, which is exactly what it’s like when you have a 16 year
old and you slap them into the role of a summer camp counselor and
suddenly you have little kids looking after them as though they were
the adults, which in retrospect, is quite ironic.
