Red Band Trailer for 'Affluenza' Starring Nicola Peltz, Ben Rosenfield, and Steve Guttenberg(!!!)

Chances are you had never heard of the term "affluenza" before last year when a rich, spoiled Texas teen was given a light probation sentence after his drunk driving resulted in the deaths of four people. He mounted what turned out to be a successful defense claiming he suffered from affluenza, basically that he had lived such a life of privilege that he never learned the difference between right and wrong. It was a landmark case and got a lot of people justifiably pissed, seeing it as just another way that the rich get all the breaks. But Affluenza is definitely a crock of shit a thing now, and it's also a movie starring a pair of hot young stars and a couple of venerable old veteran actors.

Affluenza stars Nicola Peltz, the Bates Motel star who will feature heavily in Transformers: Age of Extinction, Boardwalk Empire's Ben Rosenfield, Grant Gustin (CW's The Flash), Samantha Mathis (American Psycho), and Gregg Sulkin, but what we are obviously most excited about is the presence of Steve Guttenberg, the guy who inspired our vaunted movie rating system. Maybe we can get him in for an interview finally? He's like our white whale or something. Anyway, the film is directed by Kevin Asch, who last helmed the Jesse Eisenberg-led drug flick, Holy Rollers. Affluenza hits theaters on July 11th with a VOD release the same day. Check out the official synopsis below along with the trailer.

Suburbia, 2008. Swept up in a heady pre-recession world of absentee parents, plentiful booze and casual sex, aspiring photographer Fisher Miller (Ben Rosenfield) escapes his middle-class life for the moneyed mansions of the young, beautiful elite. With a stash of high-quality weed and a vintage camera, he gains access to his gorgeous cousin Kate's (Nicola Peltz) circle of wealthy and indulged friends, just as their entitled reality is about to spin out of control. A revealing take on the hidden perils of privilege.
