Bryce Dallas Howard has spoken to Total Film about her next acting project - upcoming comedy 50/50 .

Originally titled I’m With Cancer , the film is the latest offering from Superbad creators Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.

Howard is in Cannes promoting her first film as producer, Restless - another film dealing with the effects of terminal illness.

  • Rachel McAdams as Linda in Send Help Sam Raimi's Send Help was originally written as a psychological thriller, but he couldn't help making it funny
  • Christian Bale and Jessie Buckley in The Bride The Bride's Christian Bale thought he read the "wrong script" because of how risky it was

But while the two movies deal with a similar subject matter, the actress points out that they couldn’t be more different...

“ 50/50 is a comedy,” she explains. “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 humour.

“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!”

Howard will be co-starring with Rogen himself in the film, as well as Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anna Kendrick and Anjelica Huston.
