David Gordon Green has a new movie coming out called Prince Avalanche, which is based off of an Icelandic film called Either Way. This film is getting back to Green’s small, independent filmmaking which looks like a good spot for him. Green is known for his comedies such as Your Highness and Pineapple Express, which are both movies I enjoyed. They weren’t great films by any means, but I enjoyed the silliness they brought.
The story follows two highway maintenance workers who spend their summer out in the countryside, developing a friendship and driving each other crazy. It will star Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch. Based off the trailer, I’m semi-excited for the project. I liked the trailer but I’m not 100% sold on Hirsch and the basic premise. What do you guys think?
Prince Avalanche hits select theaters on August 9.
