It may be a romantic comedy, but we’re going to have to fight back tears while watching.
Enough Said finds the late, great James Gandolfini playing a kinder, gentler role as a divorced dad looking for love with Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Upon his death, director Nicole Holofcener had nothing but good things to say about James’ performance. She said:
“He didn’t believe he could play a romantic lead, even though everyone on the set thought he was sexy and hilarious. He was charming and self-effacing and incredibly talented. Not only did he pull off playing a leading man, his performance is subtle and moving and very, very lovely.”
The film will be released on September 20th, just over three months after the actor’s untimely death.
Believe it or not, Enough Said was not even James’ final film; the hard-working actor also filmed a crime drama called Animal Rescue with Tom Hardy shortly before his passing.
We can’t wait to see them both.
