Ben Kingsley adopts an alien in trailer for sci-fi comedy Jules

July 11, 2023 by Matt Rodgers

Bleecker Street has unveiled a first look at their upcoming science-fiction comedy/drama Jules, which stars Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley as a man who forms a friendship with an extra-terrestrial who crashes in his back yard. 

Directed by Marc Turtletaub, who produced the Oscar-bothering one-two of Little Miss Sunshine and The Farewell, Jules also stars Harriet Sansom Harris (Fraiser), Zoe Winters (Succession), Jade Quon (Iron Man 3), and Jane Curtin (The Librarian). Check out the trailer below…

Jules follows Milton (Kingsley) who lives a quiet life of routine in a small western Pennsylvania town, but finds his day upended when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls “Jules.” Things become complicated when two neighbors (Harris and Curtin) discover Jules and the government quickly closes in. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbors find meaning and connection later in life – thanks to this unlikely stranger.

Jules is in select U.S. theatres from August 11th.
