Ahead of its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this Friday, Amazon Studios has revealed the first poster and trailer for the upcoming biographical drama Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot. Directed by Gus Van Sant, the film is based on the memoirs of the same name by cartoonist John Callahan and sees Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role alongside Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, and Jack Black; check out the trailer here…
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. Based on a true story, this poignant, insightful and often funny drama about the healing power of art is adapted from Callahan’s autobiography and directed by two-time Oscar® nominee Gus Van Sant. Jack Black, Carrie Brownstein, Beth Ditto and Kim Gordon also star.
