“Things change on a dime in show business.” Lionsgate has revealed the official trailer for Everything’s Going to be Great, a lively, upbeat dramedy about a theater family. The film is directed by Jon S. Baird (Filth, Stan & Ollie, Tetris) and set for release in June this summer – premiering at the Tribeca Film Fest. As the Smart family wrestle with their over-sized dreams, they come to realize that the struggle to find your voice & your place in the world can happen no matter what stage of life you’re in. Starring Allison Janney and Bryan Cranston – “their chemistry grounds the film’s journey through artistic ambition and life’s unexpected detours… the tender exploration of how families navigate change and disappointment resonates with authenticity as these deeply human characters stumble toward reconciliation & renewal in this stirring celebration of life’s messy beauty.” Also starring Benjamin Evan Ainsworth, Jack Champion, Simon Rex, and Chris Cooper. Looks like a charming, wholesome little indie that might just be worth your time.
