Watch Lily Tomlin In GRANDMA Trailer

Here’s a look at the first trailer for writer/director Paul Weitz’s GRANDMA starring Lily Tomlin, Julia Garner, Marcia Gay Harden, Judy Greer, Laverne Cox, and Sam Elliott.

Elle Reid has just gotten through breaking up with her girlfriend when her granddaughter Sage unexpectedly shows up needing 600 dollars before sundown. Temporarily broke, Grandma Elle and Sage spend the day trying to get their hands on the cash as their unannounced visits to old
friends and flames end up rattling skeletons and digging up secrets.

Weitz said he wrote the script hearing Tomlin’s voice. “I asked her to lunch and told her I had written a script for her and told her the story and gave it to her. I’m sure that was a bit nerve-wracking for her.”

From Sony Pictures Classics, GRANDMA opens in theaters August 21.
