Paramount has unveiled the first trailer for the feature directorial debut of The Sopranos creator David Chase, a semi-autobiographical story about a group of young men in 1960s New Jersey attempting to form a rock band.
The director premiered his '60s rock 'n' roll drama at the New York Film Festival on Friday, before its holiday release, December 21st, 2012.
In short, three friends, played by John Magaro, Jack Huston and Will Brill form a rock band in the 1960s; James Gandolfini, a.k.a Tony Soprano on Chase's seminal HBO series, stars of course as one of the boys' fathers.
The film, which takes its title from a song by Buddy Holly, also stars Bella Heathcote, Brad Garrett and Christopher McDonald.
Film critics' reviews of Not fade Away are mixed to positive, so I guess this is one of those movies you either love or you hate.
