The first trailer for Patton Oswalt’s Big Fan has hit the web today, and it really makes the film look good. The movie is about a guy named Paul who is an obsessive New York Giants fan whose chance encounter with his football hero unexpectedly ends in violence.
This dark comedy also co-stars Kevin Corrigan and Michael Rapaport. I had a chance to see this film up at the Sundance Film Festival, and my first reaction was that I didn’t like it. It rubbed me the wrong way, I didn’t get what I expected it to be. After I thought about it though, I couldn’t help but appreciate the performance that Patton Oswalt puts forth in the film that helps drive the story forward. He was quite good in it. It was also written by the same guy that wrote The Wrestler, only this movie was not as good.
Check out the trailer for Big Fan below and let us know what you think.
I love Patton's comedy. It looks really interesting. I would love to see Robert Siegel do for him what he did for Rourke with his writing in The Wrestler.
Werewolves and Lollipops = Genius, Patton is the man.
WHOA…. That's not the Patton I know, and I'm just finding that awesome. The writing for The Wrestler was fantastic, looks like it will be here too. This reminded me a little of The Fan with DeNiro, minus the overly-obsessive stalker element. Will definitely be checking this out.
For everyone anticipating seeing the film and Patton Oswalt's performance, be sure to check the official movie website for new updates on release dates in multiple cities. Big Fan will premiere August 28th in NYC and Philadelphia!
