How Judy Greer Landed the Lead Role in 'Aporia'
The Big Picture Though perhaps best known for her comedic work, Judy Greer is currently starring in a new science fiction film titled Aporia, a story about grief told through using fictional technology. Sophie, Greer's character, has to mourn the loss of her husband while trying to balance her own feelings, a full time job and being a mother.
I think about that scene in The Descendants – the end when she comes in to see George Clooney and his wife in a coma, and she has to go from, like, this moment filled with pathos and truth and catharsis that then becomes kind of funny and awkward at the same time. I don't think any other living actor could do that the way Judy did that.
The filmmaker also had plenty to say about Greer's natural capacity for showing the emotions of her different characters, stating: "So I've always been so impressed by Judy as an actor. She's always sort of been the sidekick or secondary character. I don't know, maybe if The Ballad of Lefty Brown is any truth, I actually like sidekicks and side characters and stuff, and that sort of was Judy to a T.
The first trailer for the upcoming independent film introduces Sophie's state of mind after a drunk driver abruptly ends her husband's life. While she doesn't believe the machine works at first, she's proven wrong when she's sent back in time and sees Mal for the first time since he passed away. With the possibility of having her family together once more, Sophie constantly uses the machine.
What's Next for Judy Greer? After she has to decide if she wants to stay in her previous life or her new one, Judy Greer will star in Eric Larue, a very interesting project given how it will mark the directorial debut of Michael Shannon. In the upcoming drama film, the actress will portray Janice Larue, the mother of the titular character , who goes to visit him in prison after he's charged for murder.
