Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 9:55PM Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane, and Christian McKay in Four Teaser Clips from 'I Melt With You'

With the Sundance Film Festival now underway, one of my most anticipated premieres in Park City this year is Mark Pellington's Henry Poole is Here follow-up, I Melt With You. The film has an outstanding cast (Rob Lowe, Jeremy Piven, Thomas Jane, Christian McKay, Carla Gugino, and Sasha Grey), a pretty cryptic premise ("a thriller centered around four men whose lives being to intersect"), and, knowing Pellington's filmography, reaction will definitely be mixed.
Now, an unorthodox film from its start has begun an unorthodox marketing campaign leading up to the premiere. Rather than release a teaser trailer, the filmmakers have decided to release short teaser clips showing off each main character. And, the clips are... interesting.
Hit the jump to see what I mean and get a more detailed film synopsis from the Sundance website.
First, here's how The Hollywood Reporter described the film a few months ago:
The character drama follows a group of college buddies (Jane, Lowe, McKay, and Piven) who, now as adults, look within themselves and find emptiness when they have their annual summer reunion. They resurrect a pact they vowed to live, die and kill by.
And the Sundance site added a little more:
Richard, Ron, Tim, and Jonathan are friends from college who gather for a weekend each year to celebrate their friendship and catch up with each other. On the surface, they look like other men going through life: they have careers and families and responsibilities. But as with many people, there is more to them than meets the eye. As the weekend progresses, they go down the rabbit hole of excess. Fueled by sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, their bacchanalian reunion drives them to an unexpected place where they are forced to confront themselves and the choices they’ve made.
Still not much to go on, but hell I'm still intrigued. And then came the coup de grace, the four character clips. Originally, there were five, as an additional clip showed off Sasha Grey in some NSFW action, but was quickly yanked from the web as the clips were uploaded via YouTube and I guess nudity is against YouTube policy. Who knew. Anyways, this film is being built up as extremely emotional and these clips are nothing less.
See what I mean...
