The cinematic space opens on a promise, New York, but Fernando Andrés’ camera, particularly the work of Drew Levin in these early sequences, denies us the crisp postcard. Instead, it captures the frantic energy of living on nothing, a panicky ballet of jumped turnstiles and borrowed joy.

Here we meet Ben and Jordan, two young men from Austin armed with ambition and fatally empty wallets. Their existential condition is established with brutal efficiency. Ben’s plan for metropolitan reinvention implodes through a single act of catastrophic judgment, a choice made not with malice but with the thoughtless purity of impulse.

The subsequent retreat to Austin offers no sanctuary; a girlfriend’s patience evaporates, and the friends find themselves unmoored. Their response is not despair but a gambit of radical dependency: a year spent living as ghosts in the homes of their friends. It is a scheme born of economic necessity,...

Stars: Blake Jenner, Tyler Hoechlin, Ryan Guzman, Juston Street, Wyatt Russell, Glen Powell, Temple Baker, J. Quinton Johnson, Will Brittain, Zoey Deutch | Written and Directed by Richard Linklater

The career of Richard Linklater has been a rather fascinating rollercoaster off ups and downs, very much mostly ups, though the period between School of Rock and Before Midnight was not the best but after the high of the one/two punch of Before Midnight and Boyhood, the world was his oyster (well maybe up to a certain level of budget!) To go back to college with what has been termed a spiritual sequel to Dazed & Confused was a brave decision. Get it wrong and accusations of playing it safe or going back to the well would probably be heard by reactionary types across the Film Twitter-sphere. This is not the world of Celine & Jessie for damn sure and Patricia Arquette won...

It might have something to do with how much I love Everybody Wants Some, but I’m still thinking about Richard Linklater and his career to date. Yes, I touched on that a bit last week, and previously in 2014 when Boyhood was making its way through the awards season, but I’m not quite done just yet. There’s something about Linklater that has me constantly thinking about and re-evaluating his films. Interestingly enough, his flicks tend to be ones that lend themselves nicely to introspection/retrospection. In doing this, one of the things I’ve actually come up with is that he’s actually yet to make a bad movie, despite having a nearly 20 deep filmography. As such, it made perfect sense to rank his films today, showing you just how varied yet consistent he is as a director. It’s really quite something to behold, at least in my eyes…...

I’ve enjoyed the films that director Richard Linklater has made of the years, but one of my favorites is easily Dazed and Confused. So I’m very excited about his next film Everybody Wants Some!! because it is described as being a “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused.

The story is set in the world of 1980 college life, and it’s “a comedy that follows a group of friends as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood.” It comes along with the tagline, “Get ready for the best weekend ever.”

A new trailer and clip have been released for the film, which looks great! Not only does it look good, but it’s been getting a ton of positive buzz and currently hold a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It looks to me like Linklater has made another classic.

The movie stars Blake Jenner, Glen Powell,...

With much of the Northern Hemisphere welcoming Daylight Savings – and longer Spring evenings as a result – today’s nostalgic new trailer for Richard Linklater’s Everybody Wants Some dovetails nicely with the promise of warmer weather and evenings spent revelling with friends.

And that’s exactly what the cast of Linklater’s college drama get up to in the snippet above. Arriving in tandem with a pair of new clips for the director’s spiritual successor to Dazed & Confused, here we see the likes of Blake Jenner, Glen Powell and Wyatt Russell stumble from adolescence to adulthood, sipping beer cans and fantasize about the future in the process.

As today’s new trailers prove, Will Brittain and Ryan Guzman star as a pair of unruly disco-dancing Texans, flanked by a cast that includes Tyler Hoechlin, Quinton Johnson, Austin Amelio, Forrest Vickery, Temple Baker, Tanner Kalina, Juston Street, and Zoey Deutch.

I knew going in to see Richard Linklater’s new film Everbody Wants Some earlier this week that it was likely to appeal to me. What I didn’t expect was a near masterpiece and perhaps an instant cult classic. I absolutely adored this movie and really think it’s among the best titles of 2016 so far. Linklater has made something that’s not just a worthy companion piece/spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused, but something that even continues some of the themes explored in Boyhood. This is another top notch effort that shows his current filmmaking to be at near master status. This is a special film. The movie looks at the first weekend at college for freshman pitcher Jake Bradford (Blake Jenner). We basically just follow him as he meets his teammates, including Glenn McReynolds (Tyler Hoechlin), Willoughby (Wyatt Russell), Billy Autry (Will Brittain), Dale Douglas (J.

Releasing a movie about getting ready for college, as everyone who is in school is eager to leave for the summer might seem like a counterintuitive move. But like its spiritual predecessor "Dazed & Confused," Richard Linklater's "Everybody Wants Some!!" is just right for warmer weather. Blake Jenner, Glen Powell, Wyatt Russell, Ryan Guzman, Quinton Johnson, Austin Amelio, Forrest Vickery, Temple Baker, Tanner Kalina, Juston Street, and Zoey Deutch are the ensemble gang in this one about those halcyon days of '80s college life, when the live between adolescence and adulthood was marked by a stack of empty beers cans and pizza boxes. Here's the official synopsis: A “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused set in the world of 1980 college life, Everybody Wants Some is a comedy that follows a group of friends as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. Get ready for the best weekend ever.

Here’s your first look at the new trailer and posters for Richard Linklater’s college-theme movie Everybody Wants Some. This follow-up film arrives more than 20 years after the original and is the “spiritual sequel” to Dazed And Confused.

The movie will make its World Premiere on Friday, March 11, 2016 during the 23rd edition of the SXSW Film Festival.

Linklater says of his new film, “If you look at Mitch, Wiley Wiggins’s character in Dazed who pitches in that pony league game, this is him, four years later, going off to college. Say he got better at baseball and he’s off to college. It would be right then — 1980.” He adds, “I’m reclaiming songs like ‘Rapper’s Delight’ and ‘My Sharona’ – you know, songs from ’79 and’80 that people have been making fun of for a while. I’m back to the original intent of those songs, like what they felt like then.

After the release of “Dazed and Confused” and “Boyhood,” it looks like director Richard Linklater is down for some more nostalgic trips down memory lane. Linklater’s new film “Everybody Wants Some” looks like “Dazed and Confused” set in the 80s, but instead of following high school football players, it follows college baseball players. It looks good nevertheless, but you be the judge with the new trailer far below. Set in the 1980s, the film follows the lives of college freshmen who are also baseball players. The new movie stars Blake Jenner, Temple Baker, Ryan Guzman, Tyler Hoechlin, Wyatt Russell, Zoey Deutch, Glen Powell, Will Brittain,and Forrest Vickery. “Everybody Wants Some” [ Read More ]

With a streak like few other directors, Richard Linklater will be following Bernie, Before Midnight, and Boyhood with a “spiritual sequel” to one of his best films, Dazed and Confused. Everybody Wants Some follows a group of college baseball players. Set for a premiere at South by Southwest Film Festival on March 11th, then a release about a month later, Paramount have now provided the first trailer.

“You show up at college and you’re listening to Van Halen, but you go to discos to chase women, but then you end up at a punk club or a country bar because Urban Cowboy was big at that time,” Linklater said last year when discussing the film. “All that stuff was on the table, so it’s an interesting cultural moment because they go to an art party and they’re listening to the Talking Heads, so it’s a cultural moment where I’m like,...
