A trailer has arrive for the upcoming film The Fallout, the feature directing debut by Megan Park heading to screens later this year through Warner Bros. Pictures. Stateside it is set for HBO Max Jenna Ortega, Maddie Ziegler, Niles Fitch, Will Ropp, with John Ortiz, and Julie Bowen, and Shailene Woodley line up amongst the cast of the film.
As the trailer states from the off, viewer discretion is advised, the ‘fallout’ from the movie focussing in on the aftermath of a school shooting.
Here’s is the official synopsis:
Bolstered by new friendships forged under sudden and tragic circumstances, high schooler Vada (Jenna Ortega) begins to reinvent herself, while re-evaluating her relationships with her family, friends and her view of the world. Moving away from her comfortable family routine, she starts taking chances with a series of quicksilver decisions that test her own boundaries and push her in new directions. As she spends more time with Mia (Maddie Ziegler), they grow closer, and Vada slowly redefines herself through their shared experiences, leading her further away from that day and closer to living her life in the now. “The Fallout” is a compelling exploration of the inexplicable resiliency of life and the hope that emerges out of loss.
The movie premiered at the SXSW Film Festival last year where it was awarded Grand Jury Prize in the Narrative Feature Film Competition, the Audience Choice Award in the Narrative Feature Competition and the Brightcove Illumination Award.
The film comes to HBO Max on 27th January with a UK big-screen released planned for later in the year. It will be released by the WB anywhere where HBO Max isn’t available.
Here’s the trailer.
