Kevin Smith Shares Movie Poster for THE 4:30 MOVIE
Writer and director Kevin Smith has released the first poster for his latest film, The 4:30 Movie, which was acquired by Saban Films.
Smith shared the following note with the poster: “Presenting the first poster for THE 4:30 MOVIE - my 16th film, coming to theaters this fall from @saban_films! Set in the summer of 1986, we shot this sentimental journey of a flick at @smodcastlecinemas, the movie theater in #atlantichighlands, New Jersey that I grew up going to and now co-own with my friends.
“Created by the talented folks at @wearebond, this first poster showcases our fresh faced foursome of (from left) @nick_v_cirillo, @reednorthrup, @austinzajur and @sienaagudong - the incredible kids who carry the picture.
“I love how the designers put the billing block up top in the theater marquee. My name above the title is a compromise I made in lieu of using the “A Film By” credit (which I’ve always eschewed).
“We’re debuting the trailer at my Hall H panel on Saturday night at @comic_con - but if you’re not going, you can see it online Monday morning!
“That’s when tickets go on sale for our World Premiere: it’s a big benefit for #smodcastlecinemas so you’ll be able to watch the flick in the same theater where we shot it (and since we’re a 501(c) non-profit organization, you’ll be able to write off the cost of your tickets)! #KevinSmith #the430movie”
The movie is set in the summer of 1986, “The coming of age comedy follows three sixteen-year-old friends (played by Austin Zajur, Nicholas Cirillo and Reed Northrup) who spend their Saturdays sneaking into movies at the local multiplex.
“But when one of the guys also invites the girl of his dreams (Siena Agudong) to see the latest comedy, each of the teens will learn something serious about life and love before the credits roll.”
The 4:30 Movie also stars Ken Jeong (The Hangover), Sam Richardson (Veep), Genesis Rodriguez (Tusk), Justin Long (Barbarian), Jason Lee (Almost Famous), Rachel Dratch (I Love My Dad), Kate Micucci (The Big Bang Theory), Adam Pally (Sonic the Hedgehog), Harley Quinn Smith (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood), and Method Man (Power Book II: Ghost).
Smith shot the film at his Smodcastle Cinemas in New Jersey — the same movie theater he haunted every weekend when he was a teenager, which he now co-owns. Liz Destro, Josh Bachove and Jordan Monsanto produced alongside EPs Bill Bromiley, Shanan Becker and Jonathan Saba.
Smith is set to embark on a multi-city national tour with the movie this summer, with its rollout in theaters nationwide to follow.
