First Trailer for SYRUP Starring Amber Heard, Shiloh Fernandez, Kellan Lutz, & Brittany Snow
The first trailer for Aram Rappaport’s satirical comedy “Syrup” starring the absolutely hideous Amber Heard (The Rum Diary) & Shiloh Fernandez (Evil Dead) has been released. Based on Max Barry’s novel of the same name, the story centers on slacker who hatches a million-dollar idea but must learn to trust his attractive corporate counterpart in order for it to materialize. (Gee, I wonder who’s paying the “attractive” counterpart.) It’s a great zippy trailer that definitely peeks my interest but I’m bummed Magnolia is going with their usual On Demand release before its theatrical debut.
Twenty-three-year-old marketing graduate Scat is in search of the American dream of wealth, fame, friendship with movie stars, and true love. He thinks he just may have it all in sight when he comes up with a brilliant idea for a new soft drink, Fukk Cola, and the beautiful new-products manager at Coke, the improbably named 6, agrees that it has definite possibilities. Unfortunately, Sneaky Pete, Scat’s roommate, lives up to his name and steals Fukk in order to get a head start up the corporate ladder. Many connivances and contrivances later, 6 and Scat take on Sneaky Pete and his assistant @ directly in a last-ditch struggle to assume ascendancy at Coke. Will 6 and Scat fall in love? Will they succeed in vanquishing Sneaky Pete? With Winona Ryder, Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise making cameo appearances and Gwyneth Paltrow acting as deus ex machina, how could dreams not come true?
Syrup will be available on VOD May 2nd and will hit theaters June 7th.
