Trailer & Poster for BOYHOOD Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette

The first trailer and poster for the drama "Boyhood" have been released. Written and directed by Richard Linklater ("Before Midnight"), the film follows the life of a young boy (Ellar Coltrane) from the age of 6 to 18. What is truly unique about the film is that Linklater shot it over a span of 12 years, using the same actors, which undoubtedly gives a different weight to the story. What's more important is that this isn't just gratuitous experimentation, but a real artistic effort by Linklater and his cast. Enthusiastic reviews seem to confirm that Linklater has reached his objectives and has crafted "a narrative drama, that unfolds like documentary truth", and a "moving and masterful evocation of what it means to be a family, and all the hurt and hope that comes with it." The film also stars Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette

"Boyhood" opens on July 11th (limited release).

Check out the trailer and poster after the jump.

Official Synopsis

"Filmed over 12 years with the same cast, Richard Linklater’s BOYHOOD is a groundbreaking story of growing up as seen through the eyes of a child named Mason (a breakthrough performance by Ellar Coltrane), who literally grows up on screen before our eyes. Starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette as Mason’s parents and newcomer Lorelei Linklater as his sister Samantha, BOYHOOD charts the rocky terrain of childhood like no other film has before. Snapshots of adolescence from road trips and family dinners to birthdays and graduations and all the moments in between become transcendent, set to a soundtrack spanning the years from Coldplay’s Yellow to Arcade Fire’s Deep Blue. BOYHOOD is both a nostalgic time capsule of the recent past and an ode to growing up and parenting. It’s impossible to watch Mason and his family without thinking about our own journey."
