After quickly emerging as a breakout in HBO’s Girls, Adam Driver landed the role of a lifetime in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. He played Kylo Ren in three movies that collectively grossed more than $5 billion worldwide and made him a globally recognizable figure. However, he has pointedly stayed away from mainstream projects for the majority of his career, choosing instead to work on a string of movies directed by Jim Jarmusch,** Noah Baumbach**, and Steven Soderbergh. However, there’s one movie that sticks out in Driver’s filmography even more than the romantic comedy The F Word.
The movie in question was released in 2023, when Driver presumably had complete freedom to pick his projects. By then, Driver had already begun a rather unique streak of starring in movies that had been stuck in development hell for decades — Martin Scorsese’s Silence, Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, Michael Mann’s Ferrari, and more recently, Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis. The 2017 film, a sci-fi action-thriller, was directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, who’d broken out as the original writers of A Quiet Place before that franchise was taken over by John Krasinski. Beck and Woods would go on to make the sleeper hit horror movie Heretic, starring Hugh Grant and Sophie Thatcher.
Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.
You took the red pill a long time ago — probably before anyone offered it to you. You’re a systems thinker who can’t help but notice the seams in things.
The wasteland doesn’t reward the clever or the well-connected — it rewards those who are hard to kill and harder to break. That’s you.
You’d survive here because you know how to exist in moral grey areas without losing yourself completely.
Arrakis is the most hostile environment in the known universe — and you are precisely the kind of person it rewards.
The galaxy far, far away is vast, loud, and in a constant state of violent political upheaval — and you wouldn’t have it any other way.
But before that, the directors tried their hand at a studio sci-fi spectacle with Driver. The movie in question is 65, in which Driver stars as an astronaut who crash-lands on a prehistoric Earth populated by dinosaurs. The movie underperformed at the box office, grossing $60 million worldwide against a reported budget of $45 million. It received mediocre reviews, and is now sitting at a 35% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s consensus reads, “Sodden sci-fi that somehow finds a way to bungle Adam Driver fighting dinosaurs, 65 is closer to zero.” The movie is currently streaming on HBO Max in the United States, but will be removed from the platform on July 1. Driver, meanwhile, is back doing what he does best. He’ll soon be seen as part of the A-list ensemble of James Gray’s new movie, Paper Tiger, along with Scarlett Johansson and Miles Teller.
