Exclusive: Zachary Quinto’s production company Before the Door Pictures is ramping up operations, signing first-look deals with AMC for scripted projects and with Spoke Studios, the production arm of Brent Montgomery’s Wheelhouse Entertainment, for unscripted fare.
Additionally, Before the Door Pictures has hired Steve Baker, former VP in HBO Series Programming, as Head of Production, and has promoted Marie Nikolova to Development Executive.
Launched in 2008, Before the Door Pictures announced its arrival with its first feature, J. C. Chandor’s Margin Call, winning two Indie Spirit Award and landing an Oscar nomination.

From the mixed up minds that brought you “The Eric Andre Show” and “Jackass” comes an Nsfw road trip buddy comedy with real-life — and high stakes — pranks. The newly released Red Band trailer for Eric Andre’s latest wild creation opens with an ominous voiceover: “Warning: The following pranks are performed by professional actors on real people who are in for the surprise of their lifetime. Enjoy your trip.” Viewers may be in for the surprise of a lifetime as well when this zany genre mash-up hits theaters in the fall.
While “Bad Trip” doesn’t need much of a plot, the trailer sets up two best friends, played by Eric Andre (“The Eric Andre Show”) and Lil Rel Howery (“Get Out”), who embark on a last-minute road trip. Billed as a “hidden camera comedy,” they steal Andre’s sister’s car (Tiffany Haddish) while she is in jail, though she quickly breaks out tunnel-style,...

Iranian-American actor Sheila Vand cut her teeth in the theater but has made a name for herself since graduating from UCLA as a recurring face of prime time and a burgeoning indie darling—Sundance hits like subversive vampire flick “A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night” truly put her on the map in 2014. Her 2018 is packed with six projects, the latest being writer-director Brian Shoaf’s intimate psychological thriller “Aardvark,” in which she stars with Zachary Quinto, Jon Hamm, and Jenny Slate. Vand stopped by Backstage HQ to offer her best career advice and reveal how she gets over a bad audition.

Like the unreliable-narrator novel, the unreliable-perspective movie is a tricky proposition that can be fascinating, but requires considerable finesse. The auspicious central conceit of “Aardvark,” Brian Shoaf’s first feature as writer-director, features Zachary Quinto as a mentally ill man whose difficulty separating reality from delusion is shared with the viewer. But the film can never quite decide what it wants to be — wounded-inner-child drama, quirky comedy, quasi-thriller, all the above — and its good ideas never quite gel, or lead toward sufficient narrative revelation. Though supporting roles for Jon Hamm and Jenny Slate will help spark some interest, this offbeat but low-pulse effort ultimately lands in a dissatisfying zone between the intriguing and the turgid.

If you're ready to watch a trailer for an odd indie film with a bunch of people you like, you've come to the right place. Jenny Slate takes center stage in this trailer for Aardvark, which is about a therapist stuck between two brothers played by Jon Hamm and Zachary Quinto. Check out the official synopsis, watch the trailer, and continue reading:
Emily Milburton’s (Jenny Slate) newest therapy patient is Josh Norman (Zachary Quinto), an emotionally challenged introvert who suffers from increasingly volatile hallucinations. Most pressing though, is his estranged relationship with his brother, Craig (Jon Hamm), a famous TV actor who just so happens to be in town for a visit. So what’s the worst that could happen when Craig shows up on Emily’s doorstep?
The film will be in select theaters April 13, and I'm interested in seeing it! What about you?...

In Aardvark, Jenny Slate plays a therapist who begins a relationship with Jon Hamm, the brother of one of her patients (Zachary Quinto). But while Quinto’s character is the one in therapy, Hamm might be the person with issues. In the Aardvark trailer, the lesson to be learned is: never date Jon Hamm, no matter how handsome […]

When troubled Joshua (Zachary Quinto) finally decides to see a therapist — played by Jenny Slate in the rare dramatic role — he’s compelled to do so by the appearance of his long-estranged brother Craig (Jon Hamm), a bonafide TV star who hasn’t shown his face in his hometown in nearly two decades. But is he really back? Or is he a product of Joshua’s deteriorating mental state?
In Brian Shoaf’s off-kilter Tribeca premiere “Aardvark,” Joshua’s tenuous relationship with Slate’s Emily — strictly patient-client, mind you — is put to the test when his apparent hallucinations prove to be just one part of his complicated relationship with Craig, who is very much back in town, even if Joshua struggles to come to terms with that. One person who doesn’t struggle with Craig’s return: Emily, who soon breaks her own professional constraints and obligations to take up with the handsome TV star.

"Josh is a pretty disturbed individual..." Great Point Media has debuted a trailer for an awkward indie film titled Aardvark, from writer/director Brian Shoaf. This premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year and like most Tribeca films, no one will ever see it. Jenny Slate stars as a therapist, Emily, who falls for the brother of a patient who may or may not be suffering from schizophrenia. Zachary Quinto co-stars as her patient, Josh, and his brother is played by the alluring Jon Hamm, which is such on-the-nose casting it actually seems weird. The full cast includes Sheila Vand, Tonya Pinkins, Dale Soules, Peter Grosz, and Marin Ireland. This really does not look very good, but you can check it out if you're curious anyway. Here's the first official trailer for Brian Shoaf's Aardvark, direct from YouTube: Emily Milburton’s (Jenny Slate) newest therapy patient is Josh Norman...

When a therapist gets involved with a patient, it’s usually bad news. When a therapist gets involved with a patient’s brother, as you’ll see in “Aardvark,” it’s also bad news.
Starring Zachary Quinto, Jenny Slate, Jon Hamm, Sheila Vand, Tonya Pinkins, and Marin Ireland, and written and directed by first time feature filmmaker Brian Shoaf, the story follows a therapist who is treating a man who may or may not be schizophrenic.

Jenny Slate and Jon Hamm may or may not be dating, and the internet is having a field day. The pair, who costarred in Aardvark earlier this year, were spotted catching a movie together. While it could just be a friendly outing, both of them are newly single. Jon recently had a "really hard" breakup with his girlfriend of 18 years, Jennifer Westfeldt; meanwhile, Jenny famously split from her Gifted costar Chris Evans in February. Even though the actress kept their relationship under the radar when they were dating, she was practically an open book during her interview with Vulture, adding that they were just "really, really different" in the end. Perhaps she's found love with another costar?...

A psychology-centric dramedy likely to annoy some mental health professionals, Brian Shoaf's Aardvark revolves around loneliness and estrangement and the difficulties they present for both the healthy and the disturbed. Zachary Quinto plays a man coping with undefined mental problems, whose therapist (Jenny Slate) starts up an in-all-sorts-of-ways questionable relationship with his brother (Jon Hamm), a famous TV actor. That string of names will ensure attention is paid to this hard-to-categorize, uneven debut for the playwright turned director, but even so, theatrical distribution isn't guaranteed.

But at its heart, the movie is about the relationship between two brothers, Josh and Craig, played by Quinto and Jon Hamm, respectively.

These shots will recur as this strange film goes on, and it will gradually be revealed that they are supposed to be part of a traumatic childhood memory that played out very differently for two different people.

Josh says that he does "perfectly fine at life." But Emily counters that he "must want help" if he's seeing her.

Jenny Slate isn’t exactly a newcomer, but she’s entered that period of her career where people are recognizing her on the street — even if they can’t quite put their finger on where they’ve seen her before. But it’s hard to blame them, because Slate is everywhere these days.
“It’s a bunch of Marcel the Shell and Mona-Lisa [Saperstein],” Slate said when IndieWire recently asked her what roles she’s most often recognized for. “I find that in New York, and especially in Brooklyn, it’s a lot of ‘Obvious Child’ people, which is really nice. A lot of people think that I’m one of the women from ‘Broad City’ — and I’m just not.”
And sometimes it just gets weird. “I also just get confused with people from their Jewish summer camp or synagogue,” she said, and laughed. “They’re always like ‘I...
