We’ve been waiting a long time for Boyhood – 12 years to be precise. Director Richard Linklater has been shooting a few scenes a year of the movie over more than a decade, which has allowed him to work with the same boy from his childhood and follow him through his adolescence.
The resulting film has already premiered to much acclaim at film festivals, and now we get to take our first look with a trailer.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘The film tracks 6 year-old Mason (Ellar Coltrane) over life’s most radically fluctuating decade, through a familiar whirl of family moves, family controversies, faltering marriages, re-marriages, new schools, first loves, lost loves, good times, scary times and a constantly unfolding mix of heartbreak and wonder. But the results are unpredictable, as one moment braids into the next, entwining into a deeply personal experience of the incidents that shape us as we grow up and the ever-changing nature of our lives.
‘As the story begins, dreamy-eyed grade-schooler Mason faces upheaval: his devoted, struggling single mom Olivia (Patricia Arquette) has decided to move him and older sister Samantha (Lorelei Linklater) to Houston – just as their long-absent father Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke) returns from Alaska to re-enter their world. Thus begins life’s non-stop flux. Yet through a tide of parents and stepparents, girls, teachers and bosses, dangers, yearnings and creative passions, Mason emerges to head down his own road.’
The film’s due out July 11th. [Read more…]
