The redband trailer for coming-of-age comedy THE KINGS OF SUMMER has arrived and it promises a heap of laughs, inappropriate jokes and teenagers living in the moment. THE KINGS OF SUMMER sees three teenagers sick of their parents trying to run their lives make a bid for freedom for a summer they will never forget. Hiding out in a custom made tree house in the woods they take control of their own destiny and fend for themselves for the first time.
Director Jordan Vogt-Roberts, who premiered the film at Sundance 2013, has said he was inspired to make the movie by his favourite childhood movies; those from Amblin Films and the quintessential coming-of-age movie STAND BY ME. The homage to the later is apparent even in this trailer; a portrayal of the transition to adulthood that is both genuine and funny.
Having seen THE KINGS OF SUMMER at Sundance London 2013 I can vouch for the brilliance of this movie, you can read our review here! The three young leads; Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso and Moises Arias are a revelation in their roles. Each have had smaller parts in TV shows previously (MELISSA & JOEY, THE BIG C and HANNAH MONTANA respectively) but it is this film that will propel their careers forward. Check out the trailer below for a taste of what to expect:
THE KINGS OF SUMMER is due to be released in the U.S on May 23rd with no UK release date as yet. Should it be given a UK release, put it on your must-see list!
