With National Coming Out Day being celebrated today, 20th Century Studios released the first trailer and poster for Everybody’s Talking About Jamie. And I won’t lie to you: this one got to me as a momma. “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” opens in U.S. theaters on February 26, 2021.
About Everybody’s Talking About Jamie
Inspired by true events, New Regency’s and Film4’s “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is the film adaptation of the hit musical.
Jamie New is 16 and doesn’t quite fit in—instead of pursuing a “real” career he dreams of becoming a drag queen.
Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: he is going to be a sensation.
Supported by his loving mom and his amazing friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.
“Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” stars newcomer Max Harwood, Sarah Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Ineson, Adeel Akhtar, Samuel Bottomley, with Sharon Horgan and Richard E. Grant.
The stage production’s director, Jonathan Butterell, makes his feature-film debut as director, with screenplay and lyrics by Tom MacRae, songs by Dan Gillespie Sells and a score composed by Sells and Anne Dudley. Mark Herbert, p.g.a, Peter Carlton, p.g.a, and Arnon Milchan are producing with Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Daniel Battsek, Ollie Madden, Peter Balm, Niall Shamma, and Jes Wilkins serving as executive producers.
It looks fabulous, and I can’t wait to watch Jamie’s story play out on the big screen.
I feel like this story is going to be an important one for teens especially to watch.
Everyone has the right to live their truth and I hope everyone finds that support around them in friends and family.
