Here’s a new promo for a summer movie which really could go either way. The Festival is from the creators of arguably one of the best sitcoms of the last ten years, The Inbetweeners, and hits cinemas in August. Watch the brand new The Festival trailer below.
The Festival trailer. Joe Thomas reunites with The Inbetweeners creators
I must admit, I wasn’t completely blown away by the first trailer for The Festival – the one that debuted a few weeks back – but this looks new one shows off more of the humour that I’d have expected from Iain Morris and Damon Beesley. It looks like a ton of fun and Joe Thomas is obviously having the time of his life.
Here’s the full plot synopsis:
When Nick’s (Joe Thomas) girlfriend dumps him at graduation, he has a colossal meltdown in front of the entire university. He’s convinced his life is over, but his best mate Shane (Hammed Animashaun) has the perfect solution: three days at an epic music festival. With the help of “festival aficionado” and certified oddball Amy (Emmy AwardÒ nominee Claudia O’Doherty), Shane tries to get Nick to embrace the music, the mayhem and the mud. From the creators of THE INBETWEENERS comes THE FESTIVAL, a comedy about friendship, growing up, and going mad in a field.
This film even has Flight Of The Conchords’ own Jermaine Clement in it. Has that swung it for you?
The Festival is first comedy feature film release from production company Fudge Park, formed by Morris and Beesley, a stable sure to nurture some quality British comedy content over the next few years.
The Festival is directed by Iain Morris and written by Keith Akushie and Joe Parham (BBC’s Siblings). It will be released across the UK right in the middle of festival season on August 14th.
