Paramount has dropped the teaser trailer for the dramedy Young Adult [YADLT] on Apple. The film reunites Juno director Jason Reitman [JREIT] and its Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody. Charlize Theron [CTHER] stars as a writer of teen novels (hence the bookcover-esque poster) who returns to her small hometown to try to win back her high school sweetheart, played by Patrick Wilson [PWILS], who is now happily married with a newborn. While we've seen many man-childs on film, her pathetic, self-absorbed character offers a feminine take on the adult in arrested development who refuses to grow up and accept reality.
Paramount has released an alternate version online with one different scene near the end:
