It's all about time. Watch the official trailer for A GHOST STORY, from writer/director David Lowery (Ain't Them Bodies Saints, Pete's Dragon), starring Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck. In Theaters July 7th.

RELEASE DATE: July 7th, 2017
WRITER/DIRECTOR: David Lowery
CAST: Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck

Hyped as hell for this. Looks great, loved Ain't Them Bodies Saints, great cast, and the early reviews (via Sundance) are glowing, with the movie at an 89 MC score (also, GAF impressions are in this thread, and they're glowing with praise as well).

A24 gotta start leaving movies for other people I see more of their output than any other distributor right now.

 

[Masterspeed]

I'd basically watch anything with Roony Mara in.

 

[Poor GRIMES]

Okay so basically no one can see the ghost? So instead of a romance this is more of an internal drama about the legacy you've left after you've died? I thought this was gonna be a straight Ghost rip so this sounds better.

Some really gorgeous shots in there too. Love the one where the ghost is in the hospital.

 

[Fletcher]

Looks great. I've been waiting to see this one.

 

[Whompa02]

I'm usually immediately sold on ideas from A24 but i'm just not feeling this one...

 

[Divius]

In! Because Lowery, Mara, Affleck, A24, the pie eating scene and Expendable.

 

[Jesus Carbomb]

This looks so cheesy. It's like a funny or die Terrence Malick parody.

 

[Expendable.]

THIS MOVIE IS AMAZING.

If you are complaining that it looks cheesy or funny, the film is very aware of its own sense of humor.

Yes!

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

The cast and A24 alone were enough to get me to watch this film. The trailer just made it a day 1 watch.

 

[Traumnovelle]

I love that it's a bed sheet.

Yes!

Bringing the hype as always, Expendable. Big fan of your work on TheFilmStage.

Ha, thank you. I actually try not to push the hype train too much, but a film like this doesn't come around regularly.

 

[TheFlow]

looks bad

 

[Nrocinu777]

This looks so fucking amazing!

 

[Wessie]

Great combination. Day One!

Man, I didn't get any of that from the trailer like, at all. Knowing this kind of changes things. I'm watching regardless... trailer just isn't pulling me in.

 

[IronRinn]

I'm pretty much down for anything A24 puts out at this point.

 

[Expendable.]

Yeah, the trailer is selling the epic scope of the film (which it very much is), but especially in the first half there are moments of levity.

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup. This looks awesome.

 

[Truant]

The music at the start is great. Where is it from?

In fact, the entire score is made up of variations of these "theme song," so to speak.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

This movie looks like it's going to hollow me out by the time credits roll, despite the lighthearted tone in the trailer.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Looks pretty good!

 

[Staccat0]

I'm pumped for this.

 

[soundscream]

Whats the aspect ratio 4:3?

 

[B33]

Expendable, would you mind answering a question about A Ghost Story?

Spoiler

Is the entire film in the aspect ratio the A24 teaser trailer shows? It looks like it was shot on 16 mm film.

 

[Prompto]

I'm definitely interested. Will probably see

Yes, it is. 1.33:1 aspect ratio, but I believe it was shot digitally.
