‘Clear History’ Trailer: Your First Full Look At Larry David’s Star-Studded HBO Movie
HBO already had one massive hit movie this year (Steven Soderbergh’sBehind the Candelabra) and it looks like they’re about to have another. The first full trailer forLarry David’sClear Historyis out.Unlike the teaser, it gives us a look at the more familiar side of David as well as the laundry list of co-stars includingJon Hamm,Michael Keaton,Bill Hader,Danny McBride,Philip Baker Hall,Amy Ryan,Kate Hudson,Eva Mendes, andJB Smoove.
Directed byGreg Mottola, the film premieres August 10. Check out the trailer below.
Thanks toEntertainment Tonight(as if the huge watermark didn’t make that obvious) for the trailer.
Clear Historylooks like an extended episode ofCurb Your Enthusiasm, right down to the J.B. Smoove interactions, and to that I say “bravo.” As if I wasn’t already in with this movie, this trailer only cements my anticipation. Though, it’ll be interesting to see how the film comments, if at all, on the issues it obviously presents. Plus, thoughCurbworked in small doses, one wonders if two hours will be too much? We don’t have to wait long to find out.
Co-written by Larry David,Alec Berg,David Mandel, andJeff Schaffer,Clear Historyfeatures David playing a marketing exec who loses his stake at an electric car startup when he and his boss (Hamm) have a falling out. He then suffers further humiliation when the startup he walked away from explodes into a multi-billion-dollar company, and winds up losing his wife and his good reputation. A decade later, he’s moved to an island off the coast of Massachusetts to start a simple new life under the assumed name Rolly. When Hamm’s character arrives to renovate his summer home, Rolly decides to get his revenge.
