Sundance 2010 Interview: Mark Duplass for Cyrus

Actor, writer, and director Mark Duplass, a star amongst indie filmmakers for his work in Baghead, Puffy Chair and of course Humpday, a film that took a typical bro-mance to the extreme, sat down with ScreecCrave for a moment to chat with us about his latest film at Sundance. At this year’s festival he and his brother Jay got back behind the camera and returned to their comedic roots with their first rom-com ever, Cyrus, only this time they got a couple of A-list celebs to lend them a hand.

The duo co-wrote the script and got Judd Apatow regular Jonah Hill, recent Academy Award nominated actress Marisa Tomei, and the great John C. Reilly (who manages to make an appearance in our exclusive video interview) to star in the film. The film is an awkward coming of age story about a grown man who constantly interferes with his single mother’s relationships. Due to the Duplass brothers ability to take the mudane and make it interesting again, they have successfully made a rom-com that is actually fun to watch. It has no cliched plot points nor missed phone calls. It’s a simple, well put together story with some crazy characters.
