British distributors Curzon/Artificial Eye have sent us the official UK theatrical trailer for director Richard Linklater's (The Before Trilogy) latest project, Last Flag Flying (2017), starring Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne, Yul Vazquez, and Kate Easton. The film will open in cinemas across the UK and Ireland on January 26.
On January 21, the distributors will also have a special Q&A screening with Bryan Cranston which will be broadcast live to all cinemas.
Synopsis: One of the most acclaimed American filmmakers of his generation, Richard Linklater (Boyhood, Before Sunrise), teams up with an exceptional ensemble cast to deliver a heartwarming road trip comedy which sees three friends reunite in the time of one's personal tragedy.
In 2003, 30 years after they served together in the Vietnam War, former Navy Corps medic Larry "Doc" Shepherd (Steve Carell) finds Former Marines Sal Nealon (Bryan Cranston) and Reverend Richard Mueller (Laurence Fishburne) on a different type of mission: to bury Doc's son, a young Marine killed in the Iraq War. Doc decides to forgo a military burial and, with the help of his old buddies, takes the casket on a trip up the East Coast to his suburban home town. Along the way, Doc, Sal and Mueller rekindle old friendships as they come to terms with the wars that continue to shape their lives.
In true Linklater style, Last Flag Flying is a stirring, humorous and tender portrayal of the strength of the human spirit.
*In the United States, Lionsgate Home Entertainment will bring the film to Blu-ray on January 30. You can see our listing of this upcoming release here.
