Apple has unveiled the first trailer for flora and Son, the drama that starring Eve Hewson (“Bad Sisters“) and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (“Super Pumped“), which it picked up out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival at the biggest price tag since “CODA” in 2021.
The film is another music-themed crowd-pleaser from Ireland’s John Carney on the heels of “Sing Street,” “Begin Again,” and his Academy Award winner, “Once.”
Single mom Flora (Eve Hewson) is at a loss about what to do with her rebellious teenage son, Max (Orén Kinlan). Encouraged by the police to find Max a hobby, Flora tries to occupy him with a beat-up acoustic guitar. With the help of a washed-up LA musician (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), Flora and Max discover the transformative power of music. From the musical mind of John Carney, “Flora and Son” explores the bond between a mother and son on a journey toward a new harmony.
“Flora and Son” is directed by John Carney. The film is produced by John Carney along with Anthony Bregman, Peter Cron, Rebecca O’Flanagan and Robert Walpole. Cathleen Dare, Milan Popelka and Alison Cohen are executive producing.
“Flora and Son — Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” is produced by “Sing Street’s” Gary Clark and is being released by Lakeshore Records which previously distributed soundtracks from acclaimed projects “Stranger Things,” “Drive,” “Bridgerton,” “Les Miserable” and others.
The film is slated for release in select theaters on September 22 and globally on Apple TV+ on September 29.
