'Everybody Wants Some' Trailer Is the Spiritual Cousin of 'Dazed and Confused'
Richard Linklater captured the essence of '70s-era high school life with the classic "Dazed and Confused." Now, he's turning his unique perspective onto '80s-era college life in "Everybody Wants Some," which has been dubbed the "spiritual sequel" to his earlier movie.
The first trailer definitely gives off the same relaxed, easygoing vibe. The movie follows college baseball players as they drink, smoke, party, and flirt their way through life. "This ain't high school man. You're at a new level here," one player tells newbie Jake Bradley (Blake Jenner).
"Everybody Wants Some" is essentially what a "Dazed and Confused" follow-up would be, if Linklater had followed those characters to college. You've got a lot of male camaraderie, the mood can best be described as "super chill," and there's pot smoking. Nobody could mistake this for anyone else's film but Linklater.
"Everybody Wants Some" premieres at SXSW in March, then opens in theaters April 15.
