Red Band Trailer for I MELT WITH YOU - Drugs, Booze, Drugs, Drugs, Drugs... And Booze

It seems compulsory now to be a successful 'indie' film one which will gain some mainstream success you have to be a hit at Sundance festival and followers of this site will know how many times I've ranted raved about some of those movies. I MELT WITH YOU is one of those movies thats been around since summer 2010 did its stint at Sundance this year though we haven't heard or even seen any actual film footage until now as the movie has now been picked up by Magnolia Pictures and we now have a trailer.
That buzz for Mark Pellington's movie unfortunately has been on the negative side, despite the stylish promos we got earlier this year it feels like we're watching a completely different movie when we watch the new red band trailer. Gone are the arthouse style editing, visuals in comes a drug fueled straight up indie drama starring Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, and Christian McKay 4 school friends who meet up for their annual lets get pissed take lots of drugs and go loco in Acapulco. They all are hiding a secret and I wonder if its a secret we'll never find out about only to frustrate the viewer , they all have some dark short comings that lets them down. This movie looks like the typical story of a rockstar, film star they have everything they want but still feel lonely.The use drugs and alcohol to block out there problems, come to the UK go to any town or city and see what drugs& booze really does to the normal man or woman, so why fork out nearly £10 for a ticket to watch middle class overpaid actors pretend.

No word on a UK release however American film fans can catch this one November 4th on VOD or December 9th on limited release, I Melt With You Also stars Carla Gugino, Sasha Grey, Arielle Kebbel, Tom Bower, August Emerson .
