Trailer Time: Tanner Hall, starring Rooney Mara and Brie Larson


It's always cool to watch when little indie flick can't get a single sniff from a distributor due to it's virtually unknown cast. Then somebody in it breaks out and lands a major film or two, and suddenly every low budget movie they were ever a part of is dusted off the shelf and thrown into theaters. Such is the case with Tanner Hall, which completed more than two years ago by directors Francesca Gregorini and Tatiana von Furstenberg, and stars then unknowns Rooney Mara and Brie Larson. Mara has seen her stock skyrocket after her turn in The Social Network, and then securing the coveted role of Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. Larson rose to small screen fame on the Showtime series, The United States of Tara. She then made fanboys wet their pants as evil rock star Envy Adams in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Tanner Hall is a coming of age story about four students in their senior year at an all girls boarding school, dealing with older men, adolescence, young love, all the usual stuff. To be honest this new trailer give me any reason to think it won't be more of what we've seen a billion times before. You might have to hunt this one down, as it'll be released on a very limited basis on September 9th....
