Carson Burton B.J. Novak of “The Office” fame is taking viewers to Texas in a true-crime comedy with his directorial debut film “Vengeance.” Novak, who wrote, directed and starred in the upcoming film, still remembers the nerves on the first day on set.“Day one, I was so scared,” Novak told Variety at the Los Angeles premiere for “Vengeance” at the Ace Hotel. “You know how you see a photo of yourself and you’re like, ‘Burn that photo?’ I was like, ‘What if I feel that way about a whole scene?’ So honestly, it was my fear that I would get in my own way like that.
But fortunately, it didn’t happen.”“Vengeance” follows an aspiring podcaster who travels from New York to Texas to investigate the death of a woman he had been hooking up with, and unexpectedly finds himself drawn into a full-scale mystery.
The film stars Novak as well as Ashton Kutcher, Boyd Holbrook, Issa Rae and Isabella Amara. Novak said his character mirrors his own self in a variety of ways. “You know, like all comedy, it has to come from a real place,” Novak said. “So I think, you know, it’s about being one of those guys who can be a little lost, think he’s cooler than he is and smarter than he is and think he has real connections when he might not.
I think that’s something many of us struggle with.”Holbrook co-stars in the film as Ty Shaw, native Texan and brother of the deceased.
