Sony Pictures has released a poster and trailer for Downtown Owl, the comedy drama from directors Hamish Linklater and Lily Rabe.
Based on Chuck Klosterman’s novel of the same name, the film follows Julia (Rabe), a woman who moves to the small town of Owl in North Dakota in 1983 to take a high school teaching job. Watch the trailer below…
Searching for a break from her cosmopolitan life in Milwaukee, Julia Rabia (Lily Rabe), arrives in the close knit Reagan-era town of Owl, North Dakota for a one-semester high school teaching job. But when the small town turns out to be a wonderland of second-string poets, smoldering Marlboro Men, and a social hierarchy that echoes high school, Julia doesn’t know if she’s come to town to get away from home or to find it.
Joining Lily Rabe in the cast are Ed Harris, Vanessa Hudgens, Henry Golding, and Finn Wittrock.
Downtown Owl arrives on digital on April 23rd.
