Awkward and Charming Trailer for Emile Hirsch's Coming-of-Age Movie PEEL
Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for a new coming-of-age film called Peel. The movie stars Emile Hirsch as a very sheltered boy who never really left his childhood home. After his mom dies he has to figure out how to survive in a world he knows nothing about and embarks on a journey to find his two brothers who were taken away by Peel’s father years earlier.
I like Hirsch as an actor, and this is a very different kind of role for him that he has taken on. It actually looks like it could be a charmingly awkward movie. Here’s the synopsis:
After his father takes his two brothers and leaves him, Peel (Emile Hirsch) is forced to grow up in a state of arrested development. Once his mother dies, he must forge his own path and move forward on his own, while attempting to find his lost brothers. Peel's child-like innocence and lack of cynicism has a healing quality on all the damaged characters he meets on his journey to rebuild his broken family.
Peel was directed by Rafael Monserrate and it also stars Amy Brenneman, Jack Kesy, Shiloh Fernandez, Yaya DaCosta, and Jacob Vargas. The movie will be released on May 7th.
