The Blacktino Movie Trailer has premiered. Aaron Burns‘ Blacktino (2011) stars Austin Marshall, Danny Trejo, Devyn Ray, Jeff Fahey, and Daryl Sabara. Blacktino‘s plot synopsis: “a dark teen comedy about an overweight half-black, half-hispanic nerd named Stefan Daily. He was raised by his black grandmother in a medium sized suburb of Austin, TX. Struggling to find his place in a mostly white high school, Stefan finds sanctuary among the eclectic mix of social outcasts in the school’s Theatre Department. In the tradition of the great teen comedies of the last thirty years ‘blacktino’ will ensure that the torch of ‘teen angst’ continues to burn bright.” This looks really good. It’s about time we got a teen film this film season that deals with real teen issues in a non-Disney, After School Special way. The last film I saw of this pedigree was Afterschool. The relationship between Stepfan Daily (Austin Marshall) and Laura Vega (Devyn Ray) will probably be the highlight of the film as Laura accepts and balances Stepfan, even if he is unaware of it. Watch the Blacktino movie trailer below and leave your thoughts on it. Blacktino debuts at South by Southwest (SXSW) on March 11, 2011.
