A practicing attorney in a Manhattan law firm, he and his family live in New York City.
Here Mitzner dreamcasts an adaptation of his new novel, The Brothers Kenney:
The Brothers Kenney begins with Sean Kenney as low as I can imagine a person – estranged from his family and nearly homeless. But it wasn’t always the case, as Sean was once upon a time a world-class 1,500 meters runner.Visit Adam Mitzner's website.
An actor taking on the role of Sean would have to embody both extremes, and therefore I think it might be the most challenging acting role for any character I’ve written. Robert Pattinson could do the part justice, and I do love a good Batman crossover. Speaking of which, Jared Leto is a bit old, but he looks like a former track star too, and played the Joker too.
There are three strong female characters in the book: Sean’s girlfriend, Rachel, his ex-wife, Meghan, and his sister, Katie.
Rachel is the prom queen who still looks the part in her mid-thirties. Jennifer Lawrence, Alexandra Daddario, or Margot Robbie, contact me if you’re game to take on the part!
Meghan, the ex-wife, is my favorite character in the book. I think of her as someone with a sensitivity and an old soul quality. Nina Dobrev, you don’t even need to audition. Emma Stone, you don’t either.
The younger sister, Katie, is the rock of the Kenney family. Brie Larson, whom I loved in Lessons in Chemistry would be a good choice. Daisy Ridley or Shailene Woodley too.
