Kevin Smith has released the first trailer for his new coming-of-age movie, The 4:30 Movie, which is said to be the filmmaker’s most personal film to date.
The movie is described as a “poignant comic valentine to moviegoing and the youth of the ’80s.” It looks like it tells a fun and delightful story, and the kind of movie that I’ll enjoy watching.
The movie is set in the summer of 1986 and the story follows “three sixteen-year-old friends who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local cineplex.
“When one of the guys invites the girl of his dreams to see an R-rated film, all hilarity breaks loose, as a self-important theater manager (Ken Jeong) and teen rivalries interfere with his best-laid plans.
The cast features an all-star ensemble that also includes Sam Richardson, Genesis Rodriguez, Justin Long, Jason Lee, Rachel Dratch, Kate Micucci, Adam Pally, Harley Quinn Smith, and Method Man.
Smith said in a statement: “The day we bought Smodcastle Cinemas, I not only reclaimed an integral piece of my childhood, I also suddenly had access to a visually interesting and cost-free movie location!”
“So I started writing a personal paean to the past for us ’70s and ’80s kids — the pre-information generation who grew up without the internet, when romance and relationships required much more than a swipe to get started, and the idea of asking out someone you had a crush on was as terrifying as the looming threat of nuclear war.”
Tickets for the premiere are on sale now at Smodcastle’s website (heads up: it’s premiere-style pricing). It will take place at the Smodcastle Cinemas in New Jersey, and serve as a fundraiser for the theater.
