Intense UK Trailer For LFF Favourite ‘Whiplash’

After a stellar reception at the 2014 London Film Festival a brand new UK trailer has been released for WHIPLASH.

Andrew Neyman (Miles Teller) is an ambitious young jazz drummer, single-minded in his pursuit to rise to the top of his elite east coast music conservatory. Plagued by the failed writing career of his father, Andrew hungers day and night to become one of the greats. Terence Fletcher (J. K. Simmons), an instructor equally known for his teaching talents as for his terrifying methods, leads the top jazz ensemble in the school. Fletcher discovers Andrew and transfers the aspiring drummer into his band, forever changing the young man’s life. Andrew’s passion to achieve perfection quickly spirals into obsession, as his ruthless teacher continues to push him to the brink of both his ability – and his sanity.

With the press conference taking place earlier today and the premiere tonight, social media has been awash with buzz surrounding the film. It’s definitely one I can’t wait to see.

WHIPLASH, directed by Damien Chazelle, arrives in UK cinemas from 16th January 2015.
