‘The Kings of Summer’ Teaser Trailer

One film that had me extremely excited that premiered at Sundance 2013 was Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ The Kings of Summer, which was formerly titled Toy’s House. As if being described as a modern day Stand By Me isn’t enough, this teaser has me more interested than ever to check this one out when it hits theaters May 31st.

The film stars Nick Robinson, Nick Offerman, Moises Arias, Gabriel Basso, Megan Mullally, and Alison Brie, hit the jump for the synopsis and trailer.

Premiering to rave reviews at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, THE KINGS OF SUMMER is a unique coming-of-age comedy about three teenage friends – Joe (Nick Robinson), Patrick (Gabriel Basso) and the eccentric and unpredictable Biaggio (Moises Arias) – who, in the ultimate act of independence, decide to spend their summer building a house in the woods and living off the land. Free from their parents’ rules, their idyllic summer quickly becomes a test of friendship as each boy learns to appreciate the fact that family – whether it is the one you’re born into or the one you create – is something you can’t run away from.
