‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ Gets First Trailer and A New Release Date

20th Century Studios has released the first trailer for its upcoming musical-drama film “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie.” The studio has also set a new release date by postponing it from January 2021 to February 2021. The film will now hit the theaters on February 26, 2021.

Inspired by true events, New Regency’s and Film4’s “Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” is the film adaptation of the hit musical. Jamie New is 16 and doesn’t quite fit in—instead of pursuing a “real” career, he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure: he is going to be a sensation. Supported by his loving mom and his amazing friends, Jamie overcomes prejudice, beats the bullies, and steps out of the darkness, into the spotlight.

“Everybody’s Talking About Jamie” stars newcomer Max Harwood, Sarah Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Ineson, Adeel Akhtar, Samuel Bottomley, with Sharon Horgan and Richard E. Grant. The stage production’s director, Jonathan Butterell, makes his feature-film debut as the director, with screenplay and lyrics by Tom MacRae, songs by Dan Gillespie Sells, and a score composed by Sells and Anne Dudley. Mark Herbert, p.g.a, Peter Carlton, p.g.a, and Arnon Milchan are producing with Yariv Milchan, Michael Schaefer, Natalie Lehmann, Daniel Battsek, Ollie Madden, Peter Balm, Niall Shamma, and Jes Wilkins serving as executive producers.

The film is a Film4, Warp Films, and New Regency production and reunites the original creative team behind the stage production with director Jonathan Butterell, writer Tom MacRae, composer Dan Gillespie Sells and choreographer Kate Prince. The film will be released worldwide via Walt Disney Studios.
