First trailer for Gus Van Sant and Joaquin Phoenix’s latest collaboration, a biopic of quadriplegic cartoonist and musician John Callahan. Jack Black, Carrie Brownstein, Beth Ditto and Kim Gordon also star.
After Portland slacker John Callahan (Joaquin Phoenix) nearly loses his life in a car accident, the last thing he intends to do is give up drinking. But when he reluctantly enters treatment – with encouragement from his girlfriend (Rooney Mara) and a charismatic sponsor (Jonah Hill) – Callahan discovers a gift for drawing edgy, irreverent newspaper cartoons that develop a national following and grant him a new lease on life.
