A new trailer has been released for Lin-Manuel Miranda's directorial debut Tick, Tick…Boom! A film starring Andrew Garfield based on Rent creator Jonathan Larson's autobiographical musical about one man's race against time to create something extraordinary.
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Lin-Manuel Miranda makes his feature directorial debut with Tick, Tick…BOOM!, an adaptation of the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, who revolutionized theatre as the creator of Rent. The film follows Jon (Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Andrew Garfield), a young theatre composer who's waiting tables at a New York City diner in 1990 while writing what he hopes will be the next great American musical. Days before he's due to showcase his work in a make-or-break performance, Jon is feeling the pressure from everywhere: from his girlfriend Susan, who dreams of an artistic life beyond New York City; from his friend Michael, who has moved on from his dream to a life of financial security; amidst an artistic community being ravaged by the AIDS epidemic. With the clock ticking, Jon is at a crossroads and faces the question everyone must reckon with: What are we meant to do with the time we have?
Tick, Tick…BOOM! stars Andrew Garfield, Alexandra Shipp, Robin de Jesús, Bradley Whitford, with Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens and releases on Netflix this Autumn. Watch the trailer here:
