Official Trailer and Poster Released For ‘HOWL’ Starring James Franco

By  | 

Hello guys and gals! It’s your good friend Melissa again, with another tasty movie snack. This time its the new trailer and poster for “HOWL”, starring James Franco as Allen Ginsberg. The official press release states:

Opening in New York and San Francisco on September 24th, 2010 and

in Los Angeles on October 1st, 2010.

Directed by: Rob Epstein & Jeffrey Friedman

Starring: James Franco, David Strathairn, Jon Hamm, Bob Balaban, Alessandro Nivola, Treat Williams,

Mary-Louise Parker and Jeff Daniels

Starring James Franco in a career-defining performance as Allen Ginsberg, HOWL is the story of how the young poet’s seminal work broke down societal barriers in the face of an infamous public obscenity trial. In his famously confessional style, Ginsberg – poet, counter-culture icon, and chronicler of the Beat Generation – recounts the road trips, love affairs, and search for personal liberation that led to HOWL, the most timeless work of his career. HOWL interweaves three stories: the unfolding of the landmark 1957 obscenity trial; an imaginative animated ride through the prophetic masterpiece; and a unique portrait of a man who found new ways to express himself, and in doing so, changed his own life and galvanized a generation.

HOWL is written and directed by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman and stars James Franco, David Strathairn, Jon Hamm, Bob Balaban, Alessandro Nivola, Treat Williams, with Mary-Louise Parker and Jeff Daniels. The film is produced by Elizabeth Redleaf and Christine Kunewa Walker for Werc Werk Works and executive produced by Gus Van Sant and Jawal Nga.  The animation design is by Eric Drooker, with cinematography by Edward Lachman, production designer by Therese DePrez, costume design by Kurt and Bart and a score by Carter Burwell.

So check out the trailer and poster below. This is sure to be a fantastic film!
