Amazon MGM Studios has released the official trailer and poster for their upcoming drama NICKEL BOYS, which will launch in US theaters in limited release on October 25th, 2024. The film world premiered last weekend at the Telluride Film Festival to very positive reviews.

Nickel Boys is directed by RaMell Ross, stars Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Ethan Herisse, Fred Hechinger, Hamish Linklater, Brandon Wilson, and Daveed Diggs, and is based on the novel The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead.

The film’s story is based on the historic reform school in 1960s Florida called the Dozier School for Boys, which was notorious for abusive treatment of students. It explores the story of Elwood Curtis, a young African-American boy who is sent to the Nickel Academy, a fictional version of the Dozier School, after he is falsely accused of a crime. While there, he meets a boy named Turner, and the two form a close friendship as they try to survive the horrors of the school and its corrupt administrators.
