The trailer for the coming-of-age comedy Cemetery Junction, written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant has been released (via Collider). The film stars Christian Cooke, Tom Hughes, Jack Doolan, Felicity Jones, Ralph Fiennes, Emily Watson, Matthew Goode, and Ricky Gervais. Check out the trailer below.
Plot: CEMETERY JUNCTION tells the funny, touching and universal story of being trapped in a small town and dreaming of escape. In 1970s England, three blue-collar friends spend their days joking, drinking, fighting and chasing girls. Freddie (Christian Cooke) wants to leave their working-class world but cool, charismatic Bruce (Tom Hughes) and lovable loser Snork (Jack Doolan) are happy with life the way it is. When Freddie gets a new job as a door-to-door salesman and bumps into his old school sweetheart Julie (Felicity Jones), the gang are forced to make choices that will change their lives for ever.
After the clear lack of visual style in last year’s Invention of Lying (also co-directed/written by Gervais) I was surprised to see the tone and visual flair in this trailer. None of the comedy really comes off well due to the quick pace of the trailer, but this still remains one of my most anticipated films this year.
Cemetery Junction hits theaters April 7th in the UK.
