'Prince Avalanche' Trailer: Emile Hirsch And Paul Rudd Spar In Texas Heat

David Gordon Green goes back to super-low budget stories with Prince Avalanche, which features Paul Rudd and Emile Hirsch as two guys painting lines on a highway in Texas. The film got a great response at Sundance (regrettably, I missed it there and at SXSW) and will hit theaters in August courtesy of Magnolia. We've seen one teaser, but this full trailer explores a bit more of the combative friendship between the two guys at the center of the film. 

The score for the film, by the way, is from Explosions in the Sky and David Wingo. The trailer points that out, but what it doesn't point out is that you can pre-order the score from the great label Temporary Residence Ltd. right now. Just click here.

Prince Avalanche (a remake of the Icelandic movie Either Way) opens in theaters and On Demand on August 9. Apple has the trailer.

An odd couple of sorts, meditative and stern Alvin and his girlfriend's brother, Lance, dopey and insecure, leave the city behind to spend the summer in solitude repainting traffic lines down the center of a country highway ravaged by wildfire. As they sink into their job in the remarkable landscape, they learn more than they want to about each other and their own limitations. An unlikely friendship develops through humor and nasty exchanges, leading to surprising affection. Adapted from Icelandic film Either Way, Prince Avalanche is driven by wonderful performances by Paul Rudd, Emile Hirsch, and Lance LeGault. Writer/director David Gordon Green gets back to his independent roots with this character study, which shows his knack for realistically capturing people and finding meaning in their lives and dreams. With a soundtrack by Explosions in the Sky and David Wingo and gorgeous cinematography by Tim Orr, Prince Avalanche bucks convention by exploring male bonding in a refreshingly genuine way.
