Just ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Amazon Studios has released a poster for their family-friendly offering Troop Zero.
The film, which will likely be compared to the likes of The Little Rascals and The Bad News Bears, is set in rural 1977 Georgia and centers around a young misfit, Christmas Flint, who longs for a life in outer space.When she hears of a national contest that offers its winner the chance to be recorded on NASA’s Golden Record, she will stop at nothing to achieve her dream.
The film’s poster, which is interestingly missing any visual reference to its stars Viola Davis, Mike Epps, and Allison Janney, hones in on the children of the story - and the excitement on their faces is straight up addicting.
Amazon Studios hasn’t announced a release date for the film, though it is expected that Troop Zero will find its way to fans sometime this year.
About Stephen Davis
I owe this hobby/career to the one and only Stephanie Peterman who, while interning at Fox, told me that I had too many opinions and irrelevant information to keep it all bottled up inside. I survived my first rated R film, Alive, at the ripe age of 8, it took me months to grasp the fact that Julia Roberts actually died at the end of Steel Magnolias, and I might be the only person alive who actually enjoyed Sorority Row…for its comedic value of course. While my friends can drink you under the table, I can outwatch you when it comes iconic, yet horrid 80s films like Adventures in Babysitting and Troop Beverly Hills. I have no shame when it comes to what I like, and if you have a problem with that, then we’ll settle it on the racquetball court. I see too many movies to actually win any film trivia contest, so don’t waste your first pick on me. My friends rent movies from my bookcase shelves, and one day I do plan to start charging. I long to live in LA, where my movie obsession will actually help me fit in, but for now I am content with my home in Austin. I prefer indies to blockbusters, Longhorns to Sooners and Halloween to Friday the 13th. I miss the classics, as well as John Ritter, and I hope to one day sit down and interview the amazing Kate Winslet.
