SXSW
Richard Linklater‘s next film Everybody Wants Some, which has been promised as a “spiritual sequel” to Dazed and Confused, will be the opening night film of the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 11, 2016.
SXSW made the announcement yesterday, proudly trumpeting the return of one of Austin’s favorite local filmmakers. The film is set in the 1980s and follows a group of college baseball players “as they navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. Get ready for the best weekend ever.”
The film features a young ensemble cast including Blake Jenner (Glee), Ryan Guzman (Step Up Revolution), Tyler Hoechlin (Road to Perdition), Wyatt Russell (22 Jump Street), Zoey Deutch (Vampire Academy), Glen Powell (The Dark Knight Rises) and Will Brittain (A Teacher).
“It’s a party film,” Linklater explained in an interview with Creative Screenwriting last year. “It’s really about the beginning of school, not the end of the school year. I guess personally or autobiographically it’s kind of in that realm, but it’s also a continuation of Boyhood, believe it or not. I don’t know if one film can be a sequel to two different movies, but it begins right where Boyhood ends with a guy showing up at college and meeting his new roommates and a girl. It overlaps with the end of Boyhood.”
So far as we can tell, this one was not shot over a period of 13 years. For more information about SXSW (you should come, it’s really fun and we’ll be there), head on over to SXSW.com.
