Sorin Preda is at Apollo111 Teatrul Bucharest, Romania Thrilled to have met the incredible Sebastian Stan today! He recently won a Golden Globe for his role in “A Different Man”. It was a pleasure to connect with him and Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve, at an event organized by the remarkable Cristian Mungiu. They have both joined the cast of Cristian’s next film, “Fjord”. The first two categories of positive news about Romania often stem from culture and sports. Through cultural diplomacy, we can showcase the brilliance of our artists and the beauty of our country to the world. Proud to celebrate these connections! 🇷🇴❤️ #SebastianStan #CristianMungiu #CulturalDiplomacy #RomanianPride #Inspiration

sebastian stan talking about finally making a movie in romanian with director cristian mungiu.

What did Mungiu say? Because I feel people misunderstand what he said abput Sebastian

Related to Sebastian:

Mungiu talked about ADM & TA and Golden Globes + Berlinale.

He explained how it's easier to do some dramatic films (indie films, small films) after you've been in blockbusters, huge films that all people watch at the theatres (and he mentions his Marvel popularity), and that he actually started this process of playing in smaller films seriously 2-3 years ago (probably referring to Fresh).

He also talked about how Sebastian left Romania when he was a child so all the merits go to him and his family.

About the project, they won't film in Romania + there are multiple languages spoken (English, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian, plus Romanian). Sebastian is working on his accents (Romanian and English) because he has an Americam accent (he said: he has an American accent because he lives in LA, which = he was basically saying he has an American accent because he lives in America. He was not confirming where he lives in my opinion –since people messaged me to ask about this. Here it makes sense to say that –tbh Romanian people assume everyone in the industry lives in LA haha, but who am I to destroy anyone's bubble?)

Mungiu has been thinking about this project for a long time.

Also he said that he wants to see how it's possible through this project for the other very talented actors to have an international visible careeer without needing to go through the filter of the "American movie" (related to the other actors that will be in the film)

Mungiu and Sebastian met for the first time in 2007 when he presented his famous film (4 luni, 3 săptămâni și 2 zile) in NYC. Sebastian came with his mom at Mungiu's film to watch it and talk to Mungiu. They kept in touch. And then he asked him to come to Romania in 2018. They wanted to work on a project for years and found Fjord the right fit.

Sebastian and him will talk face to face soon.

Sebastian Stan Talks ‘The Apprentice’s Uphill Battle, Double Golden Globe Nomination, Lily James Reteam ‘Let The Evil Go West’ & Upcoming Cristian Mungiu & Justin Kurzel Projects

By Matt Grobar

On Monday, Sebastian Stan pulled off a rare feat, scoring Golden Globe nominations for Lead Actor in both Drama and Musical/Comedy categories. Following the announcement, Stan got candid about upcoming projects with Cristian Mungiu, Christian Tafdrup and Justin Kurzel, his experience on the awards circuit with his nominated turn as Donald Trump in The Apprentice, and more.

In discussing his upcoming slate, Stan seemed particularly excited about a project not yet announced with Cristian Mungiu, the Romanian filmmaker behind Palme d’Or winner 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days, which he expects to shoot next year.

“I was born in Romania. I still speak the language, and I’ve been trying to find a project where I can go back and tap back into that history that I have,” said the actor, “so I’m excited about working with him, and hopefully that’s going to come together.”

A second project on the docket is Let the Evil Go West, a horror thriller from buzzy Danish filmmaker Christian Tafdrup, which reunites him with Pam & Tommy‘s Lily James. The film centers on a railroad worker driven to madness after coming upon a fortune, and his wife, who believes an evil presence has attached itself to their family.

Stan came to the project after seeing Tafdrup’s “unbelievable” horror thriller Speak No Evil, which Universal just remade. “This is a project that’s been going on for a while, and it always gets tricky. It’s about finding the right scheduling and the right time to do it,” said the actor. “But that’s something I’m really excited about.”

While he didn’t get into details, Stan also confirmed that he’s attached to star in Burning Rainbow Farm, a film that The Order‘s Justin Kurzel has in development. Plot details are unconfirmed, but we hear it’s inspired by true events, involving two marijuana advocates who face off against the FBI in a tense five-day standoff in Michigan, culminating in tragedy just days before 9/11.

Stan’s Globe nominations this morning came for Briarcliff’s The Apprentice, which examines Trump’s rise in the 1970s and 1980s New York real estate scene, as well as A24’s A Different Man. Hailing from filmmaker Aaron Schimberg, that title has him playing a man with a disfigurement who undergoes an experimental facial reconstruction surgery, before spiraling into a psychological crisis.

“Stunned and incredibly ecstatic,” Stan shared that the nominations are gratifying given the risks he took with each project and the uphill battles faced with each — The Apprentice, in particular, which struggled to secure financing, and later, distribution, amid the threat of a lawsuit from Trump himself. The project is one Hollywood didn’t seem to know what to do with, both leading up to and in the aftermath of a polarizing, pivotal election.

Sharing that he had “extreme trepidations” about playing Trump — in part, because many in the industry advised him not to — Stan reflected this morning about a disclosure of his that went viral: that while he intended to appear on Variety’s video series Actors on Actors in support of The Apprentice, no actor would step up to talk with him about his project, presumably out of fear of saying the wrong thing.

“For me, the Variety thing was just unfortunately another example of the uphill battle that the movie had been facing since Cannes, that there was some hesitancy and some fear around it…But it wasn’t my intention to point a finger or blame anybody else,” Stan said. “It was just simply saying, ‘Hey, we should be mindful of things that feel fearful.’ Because as artists, we have to hold ourselves as sort of the ambassadors of the truth, in a way…Today, of course, is a big day, in terms of hopefully allowing people to feel like they have permission, to talk about this film, and look at the work and have a conversation about it.”

From Stan’s perspective, we as a society need “all kinds of movies” and “have to try to not ever discriminate against any movie,” even if it’s something as polarizing as The Apprentice. In terms of the current climate of fear among Hollywood stars, when it comes to addressing certain topics, Stan’s feeling is that “there’s always a conversation that we can have about the work and what goes into it.”

A recent speech on Stan’s mind, when it comes to this, is the one given by honoree Richard Curtis at the Governors Awards. “He went up there and said, ‘Look, I am grateful to be standing up here and be recognized this evening. Buts also, I want to say, we love good ideas and we love embracing good ideas, but we also have to follow through on the action of it, even when you get to the last one-yard line, trying to get past it,'” the actor recalls. “Because I know the intentions are always good, and I believe that movies can inspire. I think they can reveal things sometimes that we have a hard time maybe understanding or communicating about in day-to-day life.”

In reflecting on the bold and diverse resume he’s carved out over the last decade-plus, Stan gave credit to his “Marvel family” for being an “incredibly supportive,” consistent presence in his life over the last 15 years, which has allowed him to “go out there and find other projects that allow me to kind of change it up and challenge myself.”

This, he says, is what he wants more than anything. “I’ve always tried to find other actors to learn from and grow from, and I want to be part of something meaningful,” Stan says, “and maybe that’s just me getting older. You want the work to have meaning and to stand for something.”

(Which side eye because doomsday (marvel) will be filmed in the spring too so he might not be in that one after all OR he will be only a little (let's hope!) 🤭

Oh wow!!! This is amazing news, I am LOVING the sound of this! YAY more Sebastian as a dad! And Norway, how cool is that!! (hoping Seb isn't actually in doomsday because of various reasons but also because marvel does not get to get in the way of Sebastian's passion projects ever again thanks very much). This all sounds great, very excited for this project (and for Sebastian!) 😊
