The trailer for Greg Mottola’s Adventureland, his first movie since Superbad and his last movie before directing Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s Paul, has just gone online over at Variety – and we likes, we likes a lot.
A semi-autobiographical tale about a young man forced to spend a summer in 1987 working at his local theme park, Adventureland seems like a sweet, idiosyncratic coming-of-age comedy with what looks like a solid lead turn from relative newcomer Jesse Eisenberg, and some quality supporting performances from the likes of Ryan Reynolds and SNL’s Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader.
It will also attract some attention for being the first post-Twilight film from Kristen Stewart (currently no. 2 on IMDBpro’s starmeter, fact fans!), as Em, the object of Eisenberg’s affections.
