Nate Bargatze's First Movie 'The Breadwinner' Hits Theaters
The Hollywood Reporter
Stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze, who has achieved great success, hopes to impress moviegoers with his first film, 'The Breadwinner.' Released in theaters this Friday by Sony, the film features Bargatze in the role of a father who looks after his three daughters while his wife (Mandy Moore) explores a job opportunity. Directed by Eric Appel, the film also includes famous names like Colin Jost, Zach Cherry, Martin Herlihy, Kumail Nanjiani, and Will Forte in its cast.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Bargatze talked about the fun brought by having a horse on set. He also suggested that theater owners offer discounted tickets for the film, which is seen as an important step to make it more accessible to audiences. Bargatze also shared updates about his planned theme park and described how he felt about hosting last year's Emmy Awards.
He noted that the characters in the film were inspired by the personality of his real-life daughter. Notably, the similarities between the youngest daughter character and his own daughter stand out. This makes Bargatze's first film experience even more special and strengthens the connection to his stand-up performances.
The horse experience on set also created unforgettable moments for Bargatze's daughter. Thanks to her interest in horses, the scenes in the film became more enjoyable. 'The Breadwinner' offers audiences a story that combines both comedy and family themes, marking Bargatze's first step into cinema.
