“Ned Rifle” is the third installment of a trilogy of movies, following “Henry Fool” and “F**k Grim.” Directed by the renowned independent filmmaker Hal Hartley, the film has garnered critical acclaim and even received an award at the Berlin Film Festival. Plaza shared that the movie was recognized by the ecumenical jury, an honor not often bestowed upon films. The prize is given to films that sensitize viewers to spiritual, human, and social values.

Plaza teased that the movie is a wild ride that is sure to captivate audiences.

While discussing her interests outside of acting, Plaza revealed her passion for basketball. She plays for an adult Recreation League team aptly named the Pistol Shrimps. Plaza’s team initially played in a league of only six teams, but it has since expanded to 24 teams, gaining significant attention and even securing sponsorship from basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Letterman couldn’t resist asking Plaza to sponsor his show, to which she humorously agreed, including her face on the show’s jerseys. Plaza’s infectious charisma and quick wit left the audience laughing and wanting more.

“Ned Rifle,” filled with provocative themes and an intriguing study of human nature, is set to be released in selected cities on April 1st. Aubrey Plaza‘s outstanding performance and the film’s unique storytelling promise to make it a must-watch for cinema enthusiasts.
