First Trailer For John Krasinski's The Hollars
Richard Jenkins and Margo Martindale
In his second film as a director, John Kraskinski introduces us to John Hollar, a struggling NYC artist forced to navigate the small, middle-American town he left behind when news of his mother's illness brings him home.
As the video shows, the Hollars are an unusual family. When the doctor asks if John's mom (Margo Martindale) has had any previous symptoms of the illness that brought her to the hospital, she asks, " Would loss of sight in one eye be a symptom? And temporary paralysis?" Her husband, played by Richard Jenkins admits there might have been some symptoms before.
Turns out, he sent her to Jenny Craig because he thought it was "a weight thing."
Returning to the home he grew up in, John is immediately swept up in the problems of his dysfunctional family, high school rival, and an over-eager ex-girlfriend as he faces impending fatherhood with his girlfriend back in New York City (Anna Kendrick).
Check out the trailer, then put The Hollars, which also stars Sharlto Copley,Charlie Day,Mary Elizabeth Winstead,Josh Groban and Randall Park, on your list of movies to see this summer, when it arrives in theaters on August 26.
