John Cameron Mitchell’s HOW TO TALK TO GIRLS AT PARTIES Gets A Trailer

One of my most anticipated films of last year is finally coming out this year and today A24 released the trailer for John Cameron Mitchell‘s How To Talk To Girls At Parties. The film, based on a story by Neil Gaiman, stars Alex Sharp as a young punk rocker in 1977 London who stumbles upon a party filled with beautiful alien women, one of whom he falls in love with, played by Elle Fanning. Nicole Kidman also stars.

A24 will be releasing How To Talk To Girls At Parties this Summer, though an exact date hasn’t been announced just yet.

From the raucous dual imaginations of fantasy laureate Neil Gaiman (“American Gods,” Coraline) and glam-rock multi-hyphenate John Cameron Mitchell (Hedwig and the Angry Inch, Shortbus) comes the electrifying and singular pop extravaganza film, How to Talk to Girls at Parties. Enn (Alex Sharp) is a shy suburban London teenager in 1977, sneaking out with his best friends to after-hours punk parties. One night they stumble upon a bizarre gathering of sexy teenagers who seem like they are from another planet. In fact, they are from another planet, visiting Earth to complete a mysterious rite of passage. That doesn’t stop Enn from falling madly in love with Zan (Elle Fanning), a beautiful and rebellious alien teenager who, despite her allegiance to her strange colony, is fascinated by Enn. Together they embark on a delirious adventure through the kinetic punk rock world of 1970s London, inadvertently setting off a series of events that will lead to the ultimate showdown of punks vs. aliens, and test the limits of how far each of them will go for true love.
