Trailer For The Dark Comedy-Thriller LAROY Starring Steve Zahn and John Magaro
Vertigo has released a trailer for its upcoming dark comedy-thriller, LaRoy, formerly titled LaRoy, Texas. The film stars John Magaro (Past Lives) as Ray Jepsen, “a humble co-owner of a hardware store who still can’t believe he managed to marry local beauty queen Stacy-Lynn. When his private investigator friend, Skip (Steve Zahn), reveals to Ray that Stacy-Lynn is having an affair, Ray decides to kill himself.”
Ray “secures a gun and goes to a seedy motel parking lot to do the deed, but before he can pull the trigger, he is mistaken by a stranger for a low-rent hitman (a sinister Dylan Baker) and given an envelope full of cash and an address. Desperate to win back his self-respect and his wife, Ray decides to take the job — but soon wishes he had just killed himself.”
This film marks the directorial debut of Shane Atkinson, and it looks like a good and entertaining movie! It also stars Megan Stevenson (Get Shorty), Matthew Del Negro (Scandal) and Brad Leland (Deepwater Horizon).
The movie is coming to all major UK digital platforms on April 12th.
