It was a window into the future and I am ready,\u201d the 38-year-old star told reporters, adding that his body double had not been called on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put on weight. As a back up, we had a back-up stomach, and then we didn\u2019t need the back-up stomach. It was just my weight,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Driver portrays a Hitler studies professor who has to face an \u201cairborne toxic event\u201d with his inquisitive children and wife, played by Greta Gerwig, who is suffering from a mysterious ailment that brings its own set of trauma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe movie is about life and death and how essentially we have to acknowledge they are the same and exist together rather than be two different things,\u201d said Baumbach, who last worked with Driver in the 2019 picture \u201cMarriage Story\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite Noise\u201d is an adaptation of a satiric 1985 novel by Don DeLillo, but the film still resonates in a world grappling with the lessons of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was re-reading (the book) by chance to coincide with the pandemic. I couldn\u2019t believe how relevant it felt and how it felt so much like the moment,\u201d said Baumbach.<\/p>\n<p>The movie projects a sometimes surreal version of small-town, 1980s America, with exaggerated colours, dancing in the supermarket aisles, atheist German nuns and university classes that view Adolf Hitler and Elvis through the same warped lens. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDeLillo\u2019s novel is a satire of academia as well as pop culture,\u201d said Baumbach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhite Noise\u201d, which also stars Don Cheadle and Jodie Turner-Smith, is one of four Netflix films premiering at the 2022 Venice Film Festival, highlighting the growing ambitions of the U.S. streaming giant.<\/p>\n<p>The highly anticipated \u201cBlonde\u201d, starring Cuban actress Ana de Armas in a take on Marilyn Monroe\u2019s tragic life, opens next week, while Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu\u2019s long-awaited film \u201cBardo\u201d hits the Lido on Thursday. French film \u201cAthena\u201d completes the Netflix lineup.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Crispian Balmer, editing by Deepa Babington)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2743672\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7U0TA-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7U0TA-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2743674\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7U0TD-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7U0TD-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2743677\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7U0TE-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI7U0TE-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Crispian Balmer VENICE (Reuters) \u2013 U.S. actor Adam Driver piles on the years in his latest film, \u201cWhite Noise\u201d, which premiered in Venice on Wednesday, but said he liked<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1628762","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628762","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1628762"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1628762\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1628762"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1628762"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1628762"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
