Bryce Dallas Howard has described her cancer comedy 50/50 as a “truthful” viewing experience.
The Twilight Saga star appears alongside Seth Rogen and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the upcoming picture, which is based on writer Will Reiser’s diagnosis and battle with the disease.
Speaking to Total Film at the Cannes Film Festival, Howard insisted that the movie would be uplifting, despite the tragic subject matter.
She said: “50/50 is a comedy. I shouldn’t say it’s a buddy comedy because it’s not farcical, and it’s based on a true story, but it’s viewing that experience through a very truthful lens of humor.”
Comparing the project to Restless, her first film as a producer, she added: “I would say Restless is viewing the experience of death through a lens of irreverence and playfulness and innocence, so they’re tonally very different kinds of movies!”
Restless, which sees a girl with terminal illness befriend the ghost of a Japanese World War Two pilot, was shown at Cannes this week.
50/50 is due to hit cinemas on September 30.
