‘Jayne Mansfield’s Car’ Trailer and Poster

Billy Bob Thornton (Daddy and Them, Sling Blade, All the Pretty Horses) returned to the director’s chair for the first time in a decade with the feature film Jayne Mansfield’s Car. Co-writer/director Thornton is joined in the cast by Robert Duvall, Robert Patrick, Kevin Bacon, John Hurt, Ray Stevenson, Frances O’Connor, and Katherine LaNasa, with Anchor Bay releasing the film via On Demand on August 20th followed by a theatrical release on September 13th.

The Plot:

Thornton stars in this story of fathers and sons, wars and peace, and the turbulent time that changed America forever. It’s 1969 in a small Alabama town, and the death of a quirky clan’s long-estranged wife and mother brings together two very different families for the funeral. But do the scars of the past hide differences that will tear them apart or expose truths that could lead to the most unexpected collisions of all?
