Chris is a Senior News Writer for Collider. He can be found in an IMAX screen, with his eyes watering and his ears bleeding for his own pleasure. He joined the news team in 2022 and accidentally fell upwards into a senior position despite his best efforts.

The Big Picture Break is the latest sports drama and thriller set in the world of pool, and Collider is delighted to exclusively bring the first trailer for the new movie to our readers.

Directed by Will Wernick, probably best known for his work on Follow Me, Break tells a riveting story that resonates with the underdog spirit found in films like 21 and 8 Mile. Bill Guentzler, Gravitas Ventures' Vice President of Acquisitions, highlighted the film's poignant narrative and emotional depth as key reasons for its acquisition by Gravitas.

Break centers on the life of Eli, portrayed by Weiss, a young man in his early twenties grappling with the pressures of supporting his family and navigating his own personal challenges. Eli's life takes a turn when he delves into the world of Detroit pool halls, uncovering his father's legacy as a legend of the game. This revelation propels him into a journey of self-discovery, confronting the intricacies of the game and his identity.

Why Did Will Wernick Want to Make 'Break'? Close Will Wernick stated “When John and Bo brought me the project I was immediately excited at the idea of getting to make a film like this. The script had a very 90s feel to it. I could immediately see pieces of myself in Eli. I was introduced to pool by my father when I was young, and I played a lot in college. It’s a world I’ve always been fascinated by, and a unique father and son story.

Break is currently scheduled to premiere theatrically in North America on April 26, 2024, followed by a digital release on June 11, 2024. You can view the trailer for the movie below:
