UK poster and trailer for JT LeRoy starring Kristen Stewart and Laura Dern

July 12, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its UK release next month, a trailer, poster and images have arrived online for JT LeRoy, director Justin Kelly’s upcoming adaptation of Savannah Knoop’s memoir Girl Boy Girl: How I Became JT Leroy which sees Kristen Stewart leading a cast that also includes Laura Dern, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Diane Kruger, Jim Sturgess, Courtney Love, James Jagger, and Dave Brown; take a look here…

Laura Albert (Laura Dern, Big Little Lies) writes as her “avatar,” a disenfranchised young queer man named JT LeRoy. When her debut novel becomes a best-seller and JT becomes the darling of the literary world, she comes up with a unique solution to preserve her anonymity but give life to her nom-de-plume. Enter her boyfriend’s androgynous sister Savannah Knoop (Kristen Stewart, Twilight), who connects with Laura’s punk, feminist, outsider universe and agrees to be JT in the public eye. Together, they embark on a wild ride of double lives, infiltrating the Hollywood and literary elite, and discovering who they are while pretending to be someone else.

JT LeRoy arrives in UK cinemas on August 16th.
