First Independent Pictures has debuted the official trailer for Kevin Asch's Holy Rollers starring Justin Bartha and Jesse Eisenberg as two Hasidic Jews who helped bring millions of ecstasy pills in from Europe. As good as this trailer may look, this is not a good film, as I saw it at Sundance and it's pretty boring. I was expecting a comedy going in, but it was a straight drama with no direction, and it's all over the place with its story. Sadly, Holy Rollers is one of those Sundance films you don't want to admit you saw because it was so bad. I'm featuring this anyway in case a few of you are interested, but I don't suggest seeing this in theaters.
Watch the official trailer for Kevin Asch's Holy Rollers:
In Brooklyn, a youth from an Orthodox Jewish community is lured into becoming an Ecstasy dealer by his pal who has ties to an Israel drug cartel. This also features Ari Graynor, Jason Fuchs and rapper Q-Tip.
Holy Rollers is directed by aspiring first-time feature filmmaker Kevin Asch of only the comedy short film Characters from 2005 previously. The screenplay was written by Antonio Macia, of only the drama Anne B. Real previously. This first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and was later bought by the micro-indie company First Independent Pictures for US distribution. They are bringing Holy Rollers to limited theaters starting on May 21st this summer, with an expansion planned, but I doubt it'll pick up.
