Gotham’s Cory Michael Smith, Michael Chiklis and Jamie Chung star in trailer for 1985

August 29, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

A new trailer and poster have been released for the upcoming drama 1985. Directed by Yen Tan, the film was shot entirely on black-and-white super 16mm film and features a cast that includes Gotham stars Cory Michael Smith, Michael Chiklis, and Jamie Chung alongside Virginia Madsen; take a look here…

Having been gone for three years, closeted advertising executive Adrian (Cory Michael Smith, “Gotham”) returns to his Texas hometown for the holidays during the first wave of the AIDS crisis. Burdened with an unspeakable tragedy in New York City, Adrian looks to reconnect with his preteen brother Andrew (Aidan Langford) while navigating his relationship with religious parents Eileen (Academy Award Nominee Virginia Madsen) and Dale (Golden Globe Award Winner Michael Chiklis). When he reaches out to his estranged childhood friend Carly (Jamie Chung, “The Gifted”), their unresolved issues force Adrian to confront an uncertain future that will significantly alter the lives of those around him.

Shot on black-and-white super 16mm film, “1985” takes a unique look at a pivotal moment in American history through the prism of empathy, love and family.

1985 is set for a limited theatrical release in the US on October 28th.
