The debut trailer for The Tender Bar, George Clooney‘s latest directorial venture, has just been released online!
The film stars Ben Affleck, Tye Sheridan, Christopher Lloyd, Lily Rabe, and Daniel Ranieri.
The Tender Bar tells the story of J.R. (Sheridan), a fatherless boy growing up in the glow of a bar where the bartender, his Uncle Charlie (Affleck), is the sharpest and most colorful of an assortment of quirky and demonstrative father figures. As the boy’s determined mother (Rabe) struggles to provide her son with opportunities denied to her — and leave the dilapidated home of her outrageous if begrudgingly supportive father (Lloyd) — J.R. begins to gamely, if not always gracefully, pursue his romantic and professional dreams — with one foot persistently placed in Uncle Charlie’s bar. The Tender Bar is based on the best-selling memoir of the same name by J.R. Moehringer.
The film is in theaters nationwide on December 22nd, 2021 and hits Amazon Prime Video on January 7, 2022.
