New ‘Beautiful Boy’ trailer starring Timothée Chalamet and Steve Carell
Amazon Studios has released a new trailer for Beautiful Boy, starring Academy Award nominees Timothée Chalamet (Call Me By Your Name) and Steve Carell (Foxcatcher) and it’s a tear-jerker.
The film, which world premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month, is based on the best-selling pair of memoirs from father and son David and Nic Sheff and chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years.
Beautiful Boy is directed by Felix van Groeningen, written by Groeningen and Luke Davies and also stars Amy Ryan and Maura Tierney.
Amazon Studios will release Beautiful Boy in theaters October 12, 2018.
Erik Anderson is the founder/owner and Editor-in-Chief of AwardsWatch and has always loved all things Oscar, having watched the Academy Awards since he was in single digits; making lists, rankings and predictions throughout the show. This led him down the path to obsessing about awards. Much later, he found himself in film school and the film forums of GoldDerby, and then migrated over to the former Oscarwatch (now AwardsDaily), before breaking off to create AwardsWatch in 2013.
He is a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic, accredited by the Cannes Film Festival, Telluride Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival and more, is a member of the International Cinephile Society (ICS), The Society of LGBTQ Entertainment Critics (GALECA), Critics Choice Association (CCA), San Francisco Bay Area Film Critics Circle (SFBAFCC) and the International Press Academy. Among his many achieved goals with AwardsWatch, he has given a platform to underrepresented writers and critics and supplied them with access to film festivals and the industry and calls the Bay Area his home where he lives with his husband and son.
