A new official trailer for the dark comedy Flower has sprouted online along with a brand new film poster for the 2018 theatrical release. Max Winkler (Ceremony, New Girl) wrote and directed the comedy, with Matt Spicer (Ingrid Goes West) co-writing. Winkler and Spicer reimagined the story from an unproduced script by Alex McAulay.
The cast is led by Zoey Deutch (Before I Fall, Why Him?) and includes Kathryn Hahn (A Bad Moms Christmas, I Love Dick), Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories), Joey Morgan (Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse), Maya Eshet (Teen Wolf, To the Bone), Dylan Gelula (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Jennifer Falls) and Adam Scott (Ghosted, Wet Hot American Summer: Ten Years Later). Shaul Dina, Dustin Duke Dlouhy, Justin Farajzadeh, David Gordon Green, Jody Hill, Andrew Levitas, Danny McBride, Cyrus Zahabian, and Ilana Zahabian served as executive producers.
Flower premiered at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival and was nominated for a Jury Award for Best U.S. Narrative Feature. The Orchard’s set a March 16, 2018 theatrical release date for the R-rated comedy.
The Plot: Rebellious, quick-witted Erica Vandross (Zoey Deutch) is a 17-year-old firecracker living with her single mom Laurie (Kathryn Hahn) and mom’s new boyfriend Bob (Tim Heidecker) in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley. When Bob’s mentally unbalanced son Luke (Joey Morgan) arrives from rehab to live with the family, Erica finds her domestic and personal life overwhelmed. With Luke and her sidekicks Kala (Dylan Gelula) and Claudine (Maya Eshet) in tow, Erica acts out by exposing a dark secret of high-school teacher Will (Adam Scott), with perilous results; their teenage kicks become a catalyst for growing up in unexpected and unpredictable ways.
