Amazon has dropped the trailer for Get Duked!, an anarchic satire of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers and ‘hallucinogenic rabbit shites that pits the youth of tomorrow against the status quo of yesterday’. There are two versions of the trailer for the new feature, which is set to drop at the end of the month, below – a red and green band. The film won the audience award at last year’s SXSW festival and the Just Film Grand Prix at the Tallinn Black Nights Festival 2019.
Here’s the full synopsis:
Dean, Duncan and DJ Beatroot are teenage pals from Glasgow who embark on the character-building camping trip — based on a real-life program — known as the Duke of Edinburgh Award, where foraging, teamwork and orienteering are the order of the day. Eager to cut loose and smoke weed in the Scottish Highlands, the trio finds themselves paired with straight-laced Ian, a fellow camper determined to play by the rules. After veering off-path into remote farmland that’s worlds away from their urban comfort zone, the boys find themselves hunted down by a shadowy force hell-bent on extinguishing their futures. From writer-director Ninian Doff — making his feature debut after a slew of award-winning music videos and short films for artists including Run the Jewels, Miike Snow, Migos, and Mykki Blanco — comes an anarchic satire of generational politics, hip-hop loving farmers and hallucinogenic rabbit droppings that pits the youth of tomorrow against the status quo of yesterday. Get Duked! stars Eddie Izzard, Kate Dickey, Georgie Glen, James Cosmo and a breakout young cast featuring Samuel Bottomley, Viraj Juneja, Rian Gordon, and Lewis Gribben.
Get Duked! is released on August 28, 2020 on Amazon Prime Video worldwide.
Here’s the trailer, starting with the red band.
