A new trailer for the film has been released, and it's an improvement over the one we received just a couple of months ago. With Rudd in one of the two lead roles, they went a little overboard in presenting it as a comedy, when clearly it's more dramatic than that. A remake of the Icelandic film, Either Way, Rudd and Hirsch star as two city workers who form a friendship while spending the summer painting a country highway destroyed by wildfires. Most impressive is what looks like a completely different sort of performance by Rudd, free to simply act and not try so hard to be the funny or charming one. The mustache needs work, though.
Prince Avalanche opens on August 9th.
