After the twin critical and box office disappointments of Your Highness and (to a lesser degree, at least in terms of monetary return) The Sitter, David Gordon Green has headed further back towards his indie roots for a remake of quirky Icelandic comedy Either Way.
So what happens when Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch are two road workers
figuring out life, their troubled friendship and their respective love
lives? Find out in the teaser trailer for Prince Avalanche over at Apple.
Rudd
is Alvin, a stern, thoughtful type in the summer of 1988. He’s taken a
job repainting road signs in a picturesque chunk of Texas. Along for the
job is Lance (Hirsch), his girlfriend’s brother. Initially, the pair
seems too different to get along – Alvin is happy in glorious isolation,
planning to enjoy all that nature has to offer while contemplating his
relationship with Madison, while Lance is bored and unfulfilled,
seemingly missing city life.
Shooting without talking up the film
first, Green looks to be on firm ground here with a brewing bromance
between the pair and some nice work from both leading men. Here’s hoping
he enjoys more success this time around. Prince Avalanche arrives in US cinemas (and VOD) on August 9, but there’s no word on a UK release just yet. |
