THE OVERNIGHT Trailer: Jason Schwartzman Hosts A Weird Dinner Party
Here's the first trailer for The Overnight, which stars Adam Scott and Orange is the New Black actress Taylor Schilling as a couple who moves to Los Angeles, meets some new friends, and attends their dinner party — and that's when things get really, really weird. Elijah reviewed the movie after its debut at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, saying "the film has a stellar ensemble cast and brilliantly crafts one awkward situation after the other, never failing to delightfully play with the audience's expectations."
This trailer does a great job of hinting at the insanity that the couple experiences while saving a lot of the actual craziness for the movie itself, which is a tactic that I wish more trailers would employ across the board.
The Overnight hits theaters on June 19th.
Alex, Emily, and their son, RJ, have recently moved to Los Angeles’ Eastside from Seattle. Feeling lost in a new city, they are desperate to find their first new friends. After a chance meeting with Kurt at the neighborhood park, they gladly agree to join family pizza night at the home. But as it gets later and the kids go to bed, the family “playdate” becomes increasingly more revealing and bizarre as the couples begin to open up.
Writer/director Patrick Brice’s second feature is a painfully funny take on thirty-something sexual frustration and parenthood. Featuring memorable lead performances by Taylor Schilling, Adam Scott, Jason Schwartzman, and Judith Godrèche, each actor nimbly balances the script’s sudden emotional turns from surprising honesty to complete embarrassment. Produced by Gettin' Rad and the Duplass Brothers, THE OVERNIGHT tells a complex story of universal inadequacies.
