A UFO and An Adorable Alien Star Alongside Ben Kingsley, Harriet Sansom Harris, Jane Curtin In JULES Trailer

Bleecker Street has dropped the new trailer for their upcoming sci-fi comedy JULES. The film stars Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler’s List), Harriet Sansom Harris (Licorice Pizza), Jane Curtin (“SNL,” “3rd Rock from the Sun”), Zoe Winters (“Succession”) and Jade Quon (a Hollywood stuntwoman).

Directed by Marc Turtletaub (Puzzle), JULES stars Kingsley as Milton, a man who lives a quiet life of routine in a small western Pennsylvania town, but finds his day upended when a UFO and its extra-terrestrial passenger crash land in his backyard. Before long, Milton develops a close relationship with the extra-terrestrial he calls “Jules.” Things become complicated when two neighbors (Samson Harris and Curtin) discover Jules and the government quickly closes in. What follows is a funny, wildly inventive ride as the three neighbors find meaning and connection later in life – thanks to this unlikely stranger.

JULES had its world premiere at the 2023 Sonoma International Film Festival, where it was the opening night film and won the Stolman Audience Award for Best Feature. Bleecker Street will release JULES in theaters nationwide on August 11th.
