A new trailer for Richard Linklater’s adaptation of Robert Kaplow’s novel is set to be released next month and stars Christian McKay, Zac Efron, and Claire Danes.

Film Synopsis:

Zac Efron, Claire Daines, Ben Chaplin and Christian McKay star in this entertaining ode to Orson Welles from the director of “The School of Rock” and “Before Sunrise”. Seventeen-year-old Richard Samuels (Efron) spends his days dreaming of the bright lights of Broadway. He gets his big break when he happens upon Orson Welles (McKay) and his fledgling Mercury Theatre company. Richard impresses Welles with an impromptu audition and lands a bit part in the Mercury’s forthcoming run of Julius Caesar. With Welles’s womanizing taking priority over rehearsals, chaos and calamity mark the production from the start. Before long, opening night has arrived and Richard will discover the terrible secrets of show business.

The film hits theaters on November 25th.
