The wait is almost over theater fans, because the release date of the highly-anticipated film adaptation of the critically-acclaimed West End musical Everybody's Talking About Jamie was just announced!
Launching worldwide on Amazon Prime Video, the film (which tells the IRL-inspired, coming-of-age story of a flamboyant, gay, femme teen and aspiring drag performer who is trying to find their place amongst a world full of haters and doubters) will be available for streaming this fall starting September 17!
Starring newcomer Max Harwood alongside Sarah Lancashire, Lauren Patel, Shobna Gulati, Ralph Ineson, Adeel Akhtar, Samuel Bottomley, with Sharon Horgan, and Richard E. Grant, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie looks like the kind of colorful, loud-and-proud production we've been dreaming of for years, and we can't wait until we finally get to see it on screen!
Jamiee New (Harwood) is "a teenager from Sheffield, who dreams of life on stage," reads the film's official description. "While his classmates plan their livelihoods after they leave school, Jamie contemplates revealing his secret career ambition to become a fierce and proud drag queen. His best friend Pritti (Patel) and his loving mum (Lancashire) shower him with endless support, while local drag legend Miss Loco Chanelle (Grant) mentors him toward his debut stage performance. But Jamie also has to contend with an unsupportive father (Ineson), an uninspired careers advisor (Horgan), and some ignorant school kids who attempt to rain on his sensational parade. In rousing and colourful musical numbers, Jamie and his community inspire one another to overcome prejudice, be more accepting, and to step out of the darkness into the spotlight."
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie premieres September 17 on Amazon Prime Video!
