Timothee Chalamet and Steve Carell star in Amazon’s Beautiful Boy, about the lifelong struggle with addiction. The film is going to be released dead smack in the middle of Oscar season.
Based on the best-selling pair of memoirs from father and son David and Nic Sheff, Beautiful Boy chronicles the heartbreaking and inspiring experience of survival, relapse, and recovery in a family coping with addiction over many years. Starring Steve Carell, Timothée Chalamet, Maura Tierney and Amy Ryan. In select theaters October 12.
I cannot wait to see this movie.
They need to make a movie like this for teen suicide with great actors like this to bring awareness.
OMG. Cannot wait for this.
The trailer for We The Animals is out … and it looks so good.
I couldn’t agree more. It’s a headlong, deeply visceral trailer, uncannily suggesting the pulse and heartbeat of Justin Torres’ thrilling coming of age, coming out, novel. It’s a novel that’s all the more powerful for being so carefully measured, and it looks like the filmmakers have followed Torres’ lead right down to the pacing and the grittiest details. I’m so looking forward to seeing this adaptation.
This looks terrible–much like a Sean Penn joint where it needed to be a Safdie production. Still not sure where the Oscar buzz is coming from. I’m more excited about that other salacious summer flick Chalamet has out soon or something. Checking out.
Something happened while I was on my way to see “Call Me By Your Name” at the movies. I have to tell someone.
Spill it.
Ok so long story short:
I met a beautiful blond boy (about Elio’s age in the film I guess) on the train last May, while I was on my way to watch ‘Call Me By Your Name’ at the theater. I tried to look him in the eyes, but since I couldn’t hold his gaze we spent way too much time looking at the windows. I also stared at his socks hoping I could catch a glimpse of his legs, but I had to cross my own legs because my growing admiration was starting to show.
I met him again on the train last week. After we left the station, he started following me on my way to the theater. Then he passed me by so I walked behind him at a distance for a while. He crossed the street right before the theater and bent down with his legs straight to fasten his shoes. From my vantage point, it looked like he was showing me his butt, which I now realize could have been a highly symbolic gesture, hopefully an encouraging response to the admiration I had shown him five weeks before on the train. But I was worried I might be completely wrong and he would get mad if I followed him, so I walked on straight forward to the theater and he went his own way up a hill on the other side of the street.
Now I hope we will meet again soon, so we can get to know each other before he is too old/turns 18. I will probably have to try to speak to him or something.
Quite a story!
A few years ago I blew a football player from one of the local universities in the bathroom of my multiplex. I don’t even recall what movie I was supposed to be seeing.
Quite a story!
You sure know how to take things into your own
handsmouth.Update: I met the kid on the train again today, though he looks more like a man every month that passes. It was more awkward than ever. I tried to say a very faint “bonjour”, he mumbled something unintellegible in return. I tried to smile at him. I think he tried to smile at me 15 minutes later, after having spent the best part of the trip with his head resting between his arms on the table in front of him, which was very disheartening until I remembered I did exactly the same thing when I fell madly in love with a guy from my class in college, but couldn’t face him so I wanted to hide.
I was staring at him when he had his half-hearted “smile” so I don’t know if it was a nervous “what are you looking at old pervert?” kind of smile or a nervous token of his good-will toward me. I was so confused and angry at myself for being hopelessly bad at flirting that I ended up trying to hold back my tears and I couldn’t look at him in the eyes any more.
So we left the train and I followed him a little which allowed me to discover a shortcut that also leads to my house, but I didn’t have the nerve to follow him when I reached a crossroad between the way to my house and the way to his house.
And the weirdest part of the story: he was wearing a pair of “hidden heart” Converse shoes, which reminds me how I kept looking at his shoes the first time we met, because I couldn’t look him in the eyes.

It’s like the universe is messing with me!
Girl, he dead-ass sounds like a punk. Reminds me of NYC prep types–not unlike the actual Timmé.
Awards Daily is the very best movie site.
Tomorrow: France – Argentina! ¿Pasará o no pasará?

We’re not favourites, but pasara!
I don’t even care actually, so whatever makes you happy…
Great trailer. the film is about father and son. Timothee Chalamet should be nominated for the Oscar agsin but I would like to see steve carrell to take one of the Oscars home with him.
Lots of early Oscar buzz from pundits regarding Timothee Chalamet. Would love to see that happen – it would make up for Call Me By Your Name.
The award he fully deserved to lose?
Damn Steve Carell could have a really fantastic year coming, I foundfoun Welcome to Marwin trailer surprisingly interesting them he also has the Adam McKay Dick Cheney movie coming out. That is 3 very promising films!
Aside from the atrociously overblown opening scene of that trailer — I assume that scene is heavily edited in this trailer and the actual scene doesn’t play-out as such — this was a very effective trailer. Carell and Chalamet look great.
Can’t wait !!!
The acting looks phenomenal, but this trailer has some pretty cringeworthy editing. My hopes are still very high!
I hope with the changing landscape of Oscar voters…Oscar baits like these movies are no longer given any awards…these movies are so predictable…drug use and disability and all such things are just oscar bait material…hope this thing crashes and burns
yeah how awful to have a movie where someone struggling with addiction sees it and it perhaps changes their course to recovery. how dare they make movies like that.
these movie are too obvious…lets show an actor portray a struggling person and create sympathy and pull heart string and win Oscars…that’s the thought process while green lighting movies like these…thats how you get kings speech or the artist…its like playing a disabled character…trying making a movie about an antagonist and make audience appreciate the performance rather than create emotional manipulative connections just so you can win award.
Are you seriously saying that The Artist was made as Oscar bait??? As in: ‘Hey, let’s make a black and white silent movie starring unknowns, directed by a Frenchman: it will surely win an Oscar’? Oh please, give me a break!

thats the sales pitch for the movie….the infamous harvey weinstein oversaw that movie..the aritst was an oscar bait because movies about hollywood made with a nostalgic and non-offensive point of view will make the old voters feel good about their prime in old hollywood and vote for it…make the artist but with the lead character sexually harassing background actors or other women on set..then I will call that daring movie. During oscars every year there is atleast 50 million people are waiting to buy tickets for a movie that hits them the right way through awards season.Most of them 50+. So the box office of the movie can be explained that way. You are talking like marketing person from a studio who is trying to fool others with his fake argument and if you really believe your argument then god help u
Well that is wrong from the getgo. Harvey didn’t oversee its development, it was finded by a bunch of French companies then he saw it at a film festival and thought this movie (that was already completed) could do well at with Oscars and make money so he bought distribution rights. It was not made as an Oscar bait film it was made as a little French film that was initially set to debut out of competition at Cannes and that they didn’t expect too many people to see (compared to what happened).
my partner is struggling with addiction right now and i dearly hope you or anyone you know never has to go through with what he is facing right now as he tries to get sober …
that has nothing to do with this movie’s manipulative nature to pull your heart strings and win Oscars..their end goal is to emotionally exploit you and get their riches and Oscars.
I fully don’t think you realise what this project is at all, I don’t know if you’ve read the memoir that it is based on but it’s very real and lays it all out and if the movie is anything like that then regardless of whether it wins Oscars it’s something that should exists and could help a lot of people.
Which of the two memoirs are you referring to or have you read both?
I actually didn’t realise there were 2 but looking it up yeah there are, I read the one written by the father. I will have to look up the other one!
Soooooo, you’ve seen it?
This looks great. Now I need to see the trailer for Boy, Erased.
My two most anticipated movies this year!
Me too! I’m holding my breath for that one too, and THE DEATH AND LIFE OF JOHN F. DONOVAN.
boy erased is a september movie..it will crash and burn
someone please bookmark this post
don’t worry it will crash and burn
I need your definition of crashing and burning so I can hold you to it.
it will be pushed by the studio and it will get 1 or 2 nomination in awards season as a token oscar bait nomination quota and no one will talk about it after 2019 oscars…crash and burn part is the oscar bait aspect of it
Edgy hipster trolling.
I can’t believe someone made an emotionally expressive movie.
You’re first error: It’s now got a release date of November 2…smack dab in the middle of Oscar season
That doesn’t change anything…below I gave my definition of crash and burn
I don’t think too many care about your definition of crash and burn.
This has zero potential to be anything
Excited about that one because the director already made a pretty good movie.
