J.K. Simmons on the phone in Little Brother
Next month, Gravitas Ventures is bringing its next acclaimed indie feature to theaters in Sheridan O’Donnell's directorial debut Little Brother. The distribution outlet acquired the film earlier this month after it turned heads and earned the Audience Award at the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival for its heartfelt story about two siblings on a road trip to an intervention.
When the footage first opens, the focus is not on Jake or Pete, but on their concerned father, played by Academy Award winner J.K. Simmons. He calls Jake for an update on how Pete is doing and a brief montage of a drinking binge after leaving the hospital shows that he's not in a good place.
The dynamic between Diemer and Ettinger will be the focus of Little Brother, but Simmons will also get plenty of chances to shine as their dad if the trailer is any indication. Known for his wide range of roles from various Spider-Man titles to Damien Chezelle's Whiplash and the animated adaptation of Robert Kirkman's Invincible, he'll show a more tragic side in the upcoming drama as a father torn apart by his son's behavior.
'Little Brother' Is a Deeply Personal Story for O'Donnell In addition to directing, O'Donnell also penned the story for his first movie. Although this will be his feature debut, he has tackled his fair share of short films before, as well as a stint behind the camera for the community theater mockumentary series Thank You, 5.
Little Brother is slated to hit theaters in September. Check out the exclusive trailer in the player above.
