Everybody’s Talking About Jamie | Official Trailer | 20th Century Studios

Show the world who you really are. Check out the brand-new trailer for Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, in theaters February 26.

Inspired by true events, New Regency’s and Film4’s “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is the film adaptation of the hit musical. Jamie New is 16 and doesn’t quite fit in—instead of pursuing a “real” career he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: he is going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mom and his amazing friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.

“Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” stars newcomer Max Harwood, Sarah Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Ineson, Adeel Akhtar, Samuel Bottomley, with Sharon Horgan and Richard E. Grant. The stage production’s director, Jonathan Butterell, makes his feature-film debut as director, with screenplay and lyrics by Tom MacRae, songs by Dan Gillespie Sells and a score composed by Sells and Anne Dudley. Mark Herbert, p.g.a, Peter Carlton, p.g.a, and Arnon Milchan are producing with Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Daniel Battsek, Ollie Madden, Peter Balm, Niall Shamma, and Jes Wilkins serving as executive producers.

“I wanted a son so badly, but I got you.”

The moment my heart broke.

The music, the visuals, THE DIALOGUE. This looks like the most faithful movie musical adaptation I've ever seen

[amytang]

suprised it doesnt say “Coming out, february 2021”

Imagine showing empathy, respect and love towards others like Jamie’s mom does.

THIS is how you do a screen adaptation of a musical. It feels faithful to the source (let’s just say I’ve watched the staged version....a lot. enough times to recognize that there were so many direct quotes!!! I love it!!! So many of my favorite things about this show!!! They kept them!!!) But yet it still feels... well, new! In my opinion the biggest mistake films like this make is trying to just plop a live production onto a movie set. These guys have built a world for these characters, and it looks INCREDIBLE. I mean you can just tell the visuals are gonna be amazing. And from what I can tell the songs sound great!!!

Sorry for the huge comment, but this is one of my favorite musicals ever and I was skeptical of the film at first. Here’s to hoping I don’t have to edit this comment once it comes out!

[tjacques]

Was nervous that the film would not live up to the viewing ecstasy of the musical but this trailer gives me such high hopes I teared up a bit watching it.

"I don't have as many dresses as you do" 🤣 I must see this movie

[jamietmarie]

THIS IS EVERYTHING I DREAMED ABOUT WHEN THEY SAID THEY WERE MAKING A MOVIE!!! THIS IS MUSICAL ADAPTATION

"Stop waiting for permission to be you."

[johnryan]

Max Harwood looks fabulous in this roll and I'm sure he will go on to be a big star. Brilliant acting.

[sauce]

Can’t wait for this to come out! “Stop waiting for permission to be you” really hit 😭😍💖

Watched Jamie in the West end I loved it it made me laugh and cry, this looks great but I only hope they keep the original songs.

[joeyplaysviolin]

“I don’t have as many dresses as you”

Jamie: GIRL WE CAN CHANGE THAT RIGHT NOW WE’RE GOING SHOPPING

[job]

I'm not really a "and suddenly they start singing in the movie" kind of person, but this blew my socks off!
I love this! It's both culturally relevant and fun to watch.

[etins]

Not Gonna Lie, I was not looking forward to this movie given the stills that we got but this Trailer make the movie look good (P.S I am a massive fan of the original musical)

[synthspence]

What a day to post this on, being National Coming Out Day. 
For those of you who are out, Congratulations! 
I'm proud of you for the strength you had to take to be able to make such a huge choice.
For those of you who aren't out, I hope you can find the strength to make that choice
No matter what, I love you <3

[drewevans]

Every Film school teacher mad at this trailer right now because the first shot is a character's alarm is going off and he's in bed

[vismayvairagi]

I see a lot of opinions below in the comments section about being/not being a drag queen is a bad/good thing or whatnot.
Honestly, life is just too short to be opined upon or judged for the way you spend it. If you've genuinely figured out what gives you happiness, go and pursue it! Not a lot of good people get that chance under the veils of restrictions through maybe political turmoil and/or other restrictions which bind the human tendency to explore and help people figure their true selves out.
Yes, it does matter to every child deep inside what their parents think. If you don't want to support your child because of what you think about some particular things, then it's fine. But at least don't discourage them! Not supporting and discouraging are two very different things. If you don't support them for their career choices, but your kids know you're there whenever they need you, then it's fine. They can move on. But if you discourage them by saying things like what just happened in that trailer, you might not know what an amazing opportunity your child must've missed upon to find their true self if they were discouraged badly.

I love it especially the idea of having the muslim friend wearing the Hijab, That's tolerant ♥
