Netflix has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Lin-Manuel Miranda’s feature directorial debut called tick, tick…BOOM!, or Tick, Tick… Boom, an adaptation of the autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, who revolutionized theater as the creator of Rent. Right on the cusp of his 30th birthday, a promising young theater composer navigates love, friendship, and the pressures of life as an artist living in New York City. “With the clock ticking, Jon is at a crossroads and faces the question everyone must reckon with: What are we meant to do with the time we have?” The film stars Academy Award nominee and Tony Award winner Andrew Garfield, Alexandra Shipp, Tony Award nominee Robin de Jesús, Tony Award nominee Joshua Henry, MJ Rodriguez, Emmy Award winner Bradley Whitford, Tariq Trotter, with Emmy & Tony Award winner Judith Light, and Vanessa Hudgens. Yeah this looks GREAT! Just a brief first look teaser, but I’m all for this. Can’t wait to see more! I love these kind of personal stories retold. Jump right in.
