The life of a man named Dick Long must have been interesting (come on, guys, admit it). But The Death of Dick Long–that’s another story! From A24 and director Daniel Scheinert (one half of the Swiss Army Man duo known as Daniels), the Frago-esque thriller will arrive in select theaters beginning September 27th. Give the trailer a spin at the top of the article.
Synopsis:
Holy Crap. Dick is dead. Died last night after band practice, and his bandmates, Zeke & Earl, don’t want anybody finding out how. That’s too bad though, ‘cause news travels fast in small-town Alabama, and these guys suck at covering their tracks. The authorities haven’t ID’d the body just yet, but Zeke’s wife and his daughter are suspicious already.
From a screenplay by Billy Chew that balances the hilarity and heartache of what happens when dark secrets are dragged kicking and screaming into the light.
Featuring an eclectic ensemble of Southerners (Jess Weixler, Sarah Baker, Roy Wood Jr., and Sunita Mani), plus a soundtrack with songs by Staind, Creed, Nickelback, and an original score by Andy Hull and Robert McDowell of Manchester Orchestra.
