It feels like we've been waiting a while to learn when John Cameron Michell's Neil Gaiman adaptation How To Talk To Girls At Parties might land in cinemas following festival screenings last year. Now we know it's not too far away, and the latest trailer has arrived.
Mitchell adapts one of Gaiman's shorter stories for the film, which takes in punks, aliens and awkward teenagers. Nicole Kidman and Elle Fanning are the marquee names, but the focus is on Henry, AKA Enn (Alex Sharp) and friends John (Ethan Lawrence) and Vic (AJ Lewis), who are looking to swap mundane suburban Silver Jubilee celebrations in 1977 Croydon for a night on the wilder side.
Obsessed with the punk scene and looking to score the respect of local music matriarch Boadicea (Kidman), the trio decide to gatecrash a party she's throwing, but aren't quite prepared for what they find within... While the place is thronged with impossibly beautiful teenage students, something isn't quite right about them, even if Vic chalks it up to them being "Californians".
But as Enn discovers when he forges a connection with the mysterious and lovely Zan (Fanning), who identifies him as a fellow outsider, he learns that the visitors are from a little further than they thought...
How to Talk To Girls At Parties arrives on our screens in the UK on 11 May, followed by a US launch on 18 May.
