Vertical has released a trailer for Reverse the Curse, the upcoming comedy drama from writer-director David Duchovny which is based on his 2016 novel Bucky F*cking Dent.
Logan Marshall-Green stars as Ted, a failed writer-turned-peanut slinger who moves back home to look after his terminally ill father Marty (Duchovny), whose health seems to curiously deteriorate every time his beloved Red Sox lose. But with the help of Marty’s friends, Ted manufactures a winning streak to keep up his father’s spirits.
Reverse the Curse follows Ted (Marshall-Green), a failed writer-turned-Yankees Stadium peanut slinger who moves back home after learning of the failing health of his Red Sox-obsessed father, Marty (David Duchovny). While Marty strives to make amends for his past, his health drops abruptly whenever his beloved Sox lose a game. To keep his dad’s spirits up, Ted takes matters into his own hands and manufactures a winning streak with the help of a crew of dad’s neighborhood pals. In the process, Ted strikes up a bond with Marty’s charming “Death Specialist,” Marianna (Beatriz), and the prospect of a new love reignites his ambitions. An ode to the bond between father and son, this warm and witty film demonstrates how life truly belongs to the losers, and that the longshots are the ones worth betting on.
Joining David Duchovny and Logan Marshall-Green in the cast are Stephanie Beatriz, Jason Beghe, Evan Handler, Santo Fazio, Daphne Rubin-Vega and Pamela Adlon.
Reverse the Curse arrives in cinemas and on VOD on June 14th.
