The Trailer for the Queer Musical Everyone’s Talking About Jamie Is Here and it is Fabulous! WATCH

The first trailer for the drag queen/coming out movie, Everybodyโ€™s Talking About Jamie, based on the hit London West End musical of the same name has arrived!

Everybodyโ€™s Talking About Jamie stars movie newcomer Max Harwood as a 16-year-old schoolboy who dreams of becoming a transvestite performer while co-stars include Sarah Lancashire as his mother, Ralph Ineson as his father, Sharon Horgan as his teacher and Richard E Grant as his mentor.

The story revolves around Jamieโ€™s tough life in Sheffield as a gay boy still in the closet who makes a plan to come out at his schoolโ€™s senior prom in the most flamboyant way possible, as a drag performer.

Everybodyโ€™s Talking About Jamie started off as a documentary about the boy, Jamie New, which was seen by a theatre producer who thought it had possibilities. It was developed into a musical in Sheffield before creating a sensation in the West End in 2017, where itโ€™s still running (or would be, coronavirus allowing).

The filmโ€™s message? โ€œDo what you want to doโ€ฆ Be who you want to be,โ€ as Grantโ€™s mentor character says in voiceover in the trailer.

Iโ€™d say thatโ€™s a pretty good message! Watch the trailer above.
