Marcel The Shell With Shoes On Trailer Teases Adorable A24 Mockumentary
A24 releases a brand-new Marcel The Shell With Shoes On trailer, teasing their forthcoming comedy movie starring Jenny Slate as the titular character. The story of the film is based on the short films of the same name, created and uploaded to YouTube by director/co-writer Dean Fleischer-Camp, and follows Marcel, a one-inch-tall seashell who searches for his family with the help of a documentary filmmaker (played by Fleischer-Camp). Slate, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Fleischer-Camp and Nick Paley, will be joined by a supporting cast that includes the likes of Thomas Mann (Project X), Rosa Salazar (Alita: Battle Angel), Lesley Stahl, and Isabella Rossellini.
A new trailer has been dropped by A24 for Marcel The Shell With Shoes On, revealing the charming titular character as he embarks on an adventure to seek out his parents. The trailer begins with documentary filmmaker Dean finding and getting to know Marcel, and understanding his perspective on what his life as a shell is like. However, Marcel begins to question his origins, longing to reunite with his family. He attempts to do so with the help of Dean, as they make their objective public, prompting the modest little shell to rapidly skyrocket to fame. Check out the full trailer below:
With recently acclaimed titles such as Hereditary, The Lighthouse, and The Green Knight, independent movie distributor A24 has become best known for their grittier arthouse films. However, while in keeping with their penchant for oddity, Marcel The Shell With Shoes On marks a much lighter tone than most A24 releases. Having premiered at the Telluride Film Festival last September, the film received positive early reviews, with a Rotten Tomatoes score currently standing at a perfect 100%. The Marcel The Shell With Shoes On trailer promises a unique adventure, and audiences can catch up with the adorable protagonist when the film makes its theatrical debut this summer.
