First Trailer For Carell & Rockwell Comic Drama ‘The Way, Way Back’

A superb ensemble led by the ever-excellent Steve Carell and Sam Rockwell make up Nat Faxon and Jim Rash’s coming-of-age comedy, THE WAY, WAY BACK. The film centres around teenager Duncan (Liam James), who moves from his hometown to stay with his mother (Toni Collette) and her boyfriend (Carell) at a beach house during the Summer. After landing a job working in a water park, he comes into his own, due to the friendship he strikes up with one of the park’s managers (Rockwell).

The indie film is slated for release in the US from the 5th July (no word on a UK date yet) and co-stars Allison Janney, AnnaSophia Robb, Maya Rudolph, Rob Corddry and Amanda Peet. Both Faxon and Rush also feature. Comparisons have been made with Greg Mottola’s 2006s acclaimed ADVENTURELAND, which starred Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart.

Craig was our great north east correspondent, proving that it’s so ‘grim up north’ that losing yourself in a world of film is a foregone prerequisite. He has been studying the best (and often worst) of both classic and modern cinema at the University of Life for as long as he can remember. Craig’s favorite films include THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION, JFK, GOODFELLAS, SCARFACE, and most of John Carpenter’s early work, particularly THE THING and HALLOWEEN.
