Thanks toApplefor the trailer. Head there for the HD version.
And here are some thoughts on Chase’s debut from the New York Film Festival. It’s mixed to positive, which is about what I expected. From the trailer it certainly looks like one of those films that either you connect to and immediately fall in love with, or remain detached to.
Really liked David Chase’s Not Fade Away but I also can probably relate to the material, having played in bands myself.#nyff50

The 20-minute ordeal of procuring#NYFFsecret screening tickets was more intriguing than the entirety of Not Fade Away.

I’ve been anticipating this film since well before Chase had a title and this trailer totally sold me. Paramount’s release date also exhibits a ton of confidence in the film. As a lover of rock and roll, coming of age stories and David Chase, I can’t wait for this one.
What do you think?
