Trailer for ‘The Spectacular Now’ Starring Miles Teller and Shailene Woodley
The first trailer for James Ponsoldt’s (Smashed) acclaimed coming-of-age drama The Spectacular Now has been released. The film centers on a hard-partying high school senior whose philosophy on life changes when he meets the not-so-typical “nice girl.” Brie Larson, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Kyle Chandler also star. The Spectacular Now opens on August 2nd.
This adaptation of Tim Tharp’s novel The Spectacular Now captures the insecurity and confusion of adolescence without looking for tidy truths. Young actors rarely portray teens with the maturity that Teller and Woodley display, and they are phenomenal together. THE SPECTACULAR NOW is a funny, compassionate and poignant love story written by (500) DAYS OF SUMMER scribes Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, directed by James Ponsoldt (SMASHED) and produced by Tom McNulty, Shawn Levy, Andrew Lauren and Michelle Krumm.
