"Life's about taking risks, don't be afraid to put yourself out there." STX Entertainment has debuted the first red band trailer for Kelly Fremon's The Edge of Seventeen, a new coming-of-age comedy starring Hailee Steinfeld that is in the vein of Sixteen Candles and The Breakfast Club. This film seems different than most teen comedies nowadays, described as an "honest, candid, often hilarious look at what it’s like to grow up as a young woman in today’s modern world." The full cast includes Woody Harrelson, Kyra Sedgwick, Haley Lu Richardson, Blake Jenner, Hayden Szeto. I'm impressed they started out with a red band trailer, but it's not too raunchy. This has some amusing moments but it mostly looks like good fun.
Here's the first red band trailer for Kelly Fremon's The Edge of Seventeen, direct from YouTube:
Everyone knows that growing up is hard, and life is no easier for high school junior Nadine (Hailee Steinfeld), who is already at peak awkwardness when her all-star older brother Darian (Blake Jenner) starts dating her best friend Krista (Haley Lu Richardson). All at once, Nadine feels more alone than ever, until the unexpected friendship of a thoughtful boy (Hayden Szeto) gives her a glimmer of hope that things just might not be so terrible after all. The Edge of Seventeen is both written & directed by first-time filmmaker Kelly Fremon, making her big debut with this film. It's produced by fellow filmmaker James L. Brooks. STX will release The Edge of Seventeen in theaters starting November 18th this fall. Interested?

Woody is funny

Everybody should be thankful for existence of Woody Harrelson. That guy is precious comic element in every film no matter how serious subject it may be ... Unfortunately, I am afraid he'll never get a role that is good enough and which would help him to get some credits for his work ... He's probably the best reasons to watch this, although H. Stainfeld seems to be also ok ...

I know...the only thing I will watch with Sandler in it is Spanglish. Tea Leoni should have been nominated (at least) for her performance in that.

I'll add to the WH lovefest going on here...what a talent! His range as an actor is just amazing...just in the past few years he has given us amazing performances in True Detective, Zombieland, Game Change, not to mention his early career with Natural Born Killers and White Men Can't Jump. Not to mention being an advocate for the holy weed! Not bad for somebody who started out as a hayseed bartender!

Well, among others, there are also The Messenger (less known but very good) and definitely The People vs. Larry Flint. That movie made Larry Flint more decent human being then he really is and credit for that goes to WH ...

This STX production house making so many "meh" movies. Maybe they should step back and focus on a couple big budget powerhouses.

As with everyone else, I too think the scenes with Woody Harrelson are going to be the highlights of this movie.

Ehhh...... Harrelson looks great. The rest looks like a billion other movies with whiny, angsty teens who think the world revolves around them. They worked when I WAS that age, now they make me sick.

My 17 year old son saw this trailer. He said that's what high school feels like. This is why he's homeschooled now.
