"Everyone's story is always a good story until it's not." Quiver has released a second official trailer for Run This Town, an indie dramedy that premiered at the SXSW Film Festival about a year ago. The first trailer was very clever, this one is just as good. A young journalist and a young political aide become entangled in a larger-than-life political scandal as they struggle to navigate life in Toronto. Like all their friends, Bram and Kamal are struggling to climb the ladders at their respective workplaces: Bram at a newspaper, Kamal at City Hall. When Bram learns of a scandal involving Kamal's larger-than-life boss, he seizes the moment. Starring Ben Platt, Mena Massoud, Nina Dobrev, Scott Speedman, Gil Bellows, with Jennifer Ehle and Damian Lewis. I must admit - both trailers have me very intrigued to see this, got my attention.
Here's the second trailer (+ new poster) for Ricky Tollman's Run This Town, from Quiver's YouTube:

Doesn't look too convincing ...

Yea, I agree. Good subject matter, but it seemed simple and obvious and very derivative to me.

And bland, too. Which is the way that films can destroy a good subject matter. In industrial terms, this is just a standard product ...
