Today, Utopia released the trailer for Alex Ross Perry’s Pavements, an innovative portrayal of the iconic ’90s indie rock band Pavement. The film blends documentary footage, scripted scenes, and a musical stage play featuring songs from the band’s discography. The fictional biopic within the film, Range Life, stars Joe Keery as Stephen Malkmus, alongside Jason Schwartzman, Fred Hechinger, Tim Heidecker, Logan Miller, Griffin Newman, and Nat Wolff. Out of last year’s New York Film Festival, Slant writer Brad Hanford described it as “Perry’s Cubist portrait finds a fitting balance between reverence and mischievousness.”
Pavements is scheduled to premiere in New York on May 2, followed by Los Angeles on May 9, with a nationwide release on June 6. See below for the film’s trailer.
