Psychedelically Awesome Trailer for Neil Gaiman's HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS AT PARTIES
When trailers often pop up as I search the sea that is the internet, I often will see some and think, "huh, that's a trailer". Other times I'll think, "wow, now, that's a trailer". And more often than not, I'll think, "great... another trailer for this friggin thing". Luckily, the trailer for How to Talk to Girls at Parties is nothing like I expected.
It stars Elle Fanning, the younger of the Fanning sisters as she is introduced to the world of punk... and the world of Earth. The trailer is very odd but I like what I'm seeing. It's visually beautiful and it features some great music. Elle Fanning looks like she might have landed a hit role for herself. Check out the trailer below. It's worth the two minutes of your life.
The story is set in the "exotic and unusual world: suburban London in the late 70s. Under the spell of the Sex Pistols, every teenager in the country wants to be a punk, including our hopeless hero Enn. Hearing the local punk Queen Boadicea is throwing a party, Enn crashes the fun and discovers every horny boy's dream; gorgeous foreign exchange students. When he meets the enigmatic Zan, it's lust at first sight. But these girls have come a lot further than America. They are, in fact, aliens from another galaxy, sent to Earth to prepare for a mysterious rite of passage. When the dark secret behind the rite is revealed, our galaxy-crossed lover Enn must turn to Boadicea and her punk followers for help in order to save the alien he loves from certain death. The punks take on the aliens on the streets of London, and neither Enn nor Zan's universe will ever be the same again."
The movie was directed by John Cameron Mitchell (Nurse Jackie) and has a great cast that includes Alex Sharp, Nicole Kidman, and Ruth Wilson.
How To Talk To Girls At Parties is set to be released sometime next year in 2018.
